    HP 15-AC109NA - dead after BIOS programming

    Hi,

    I have HP 15-AC109NA laptop. Motherboard: LA-C701P rev:1.0

    After BIOS programmed laptop works OK but problem with ME Region. So I decided to programm BIOS again with correct ME Region. I used adapter for programming "on board" and I think I connected it wrong way.
    +3V from programmer connected to GND (4th leg of BIOS chip). Now the motherboard doesn't turn on. When charger connected white diode next to dc socket lights up. +3.3V is on power button and drop to 0V when button pressed.
    What could happen? What can I check? Could you help me fix this motherboard?

      Can you still read the BIOS chip? If not you'll have to replace it. If you do, try to reprogram it again. Otherwise the EC or the PCH may be dead, check if they heat up.

          Yes, I can still read/write the BIOS chip. I tried to reprogram it but no luck.
          EC (KBC) / PCH - they don't heat up.

              ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
              by jbonavita
              Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
              With original bios no POST, only LED lights
              With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
              Some issues
              A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
              B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

              Things I tried

              1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

              Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
              by Wahaz
              Hello,

              I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
              So I thought it was a Bios problem.
              I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....
