I am new and naive to MacBook Pro A2141 16’ 2019 model. Bought my first MacBook from marketplace only to find out it is bios locked. Seller who sold me this was working for some company. Company bios locked it. Can we unlock it by chance ? I don’t have the original bill.

The Intel T2 systems can't really be unlocked, so while there is a firmware level lock (PIN code) it's likely to also have its storage locked (iCloud locked) as well. Depending on the company they often do this to prevent IP/data theft. So that limits the system and you could have someone banging at your door to recover the system.
So the best way to get something here is to just get a replacement logic board from a reputable seller and just be done with it than the costs of finding someone who can replace the discrete chips and who can get the which I think is about zero now.

Thanks Dan, I am kind of new to mckbook. I have attached current specs. Do you mind help me in your free time ? Just replacing logic board would resolve the issue? Can I just search for same specs logic board and order it? Is motherboard and logic board are different?
@janetromero - Here's one source: MacBook Pro 16" Logic Boards as you can see there are a lot of options. You may want to send them an email with a request to be notified for the exact same setup if you had your heart set to it. Yes replacing the logic board as well as its mated power button is what you require.
The term logic board and mother board are in this case one and the same. Mother is more often used in PC's which other boards would be slotted into. Modern laptops don't have auxiliary boards.
