    I need a BIOS dump for the Samsung S49CG934SU monitor

    The Samsung S49CG934SU monitor does not power on - no LED indicator activity and no response to power button. However, when 21V power is connected, it immediately draws 0.8A of current with no display output. The motherboard processor gets warm, and there is continuous reading activity from the W25Q128BV BIOS chip.

    Suspected Cause:
    I suspect the BIOS may have been corrupted during a power interruption while updating the firmware. The official website provides firmware updates, but they can only be installed via USB flash drive.

    Troubleshooting Attempts:

    No hardware faults were found during physical inspection

    Attempted to integrate the official firmware into the original dump using ChatGPT

    Achieved only temporary LED illumination (5 seconds) in a repeating cycle, which further suggests BIOS-related issues

    Additional Notes:
    The current symptoms indicate potential BIOS corruption rather than hardware failure. The partial response after firmware modification suggests the repair path might involve:

    Finding a clean BIOS dump.

    Would appreciate any advice on:

    Where to obtain a verified BIOS dump for this model? Attaching the original BIOS dump from IC802 chip.

    Additionally attaching:

    Firmware dump from IC801 (EEPROM 24C512)

    Modified BIOS generated by ChatGPT (this version successfully activated the power LED indicator)

    And I also added the official firmware file

    I've captured a UART log from the TCON board (pin MDEBAG_TX and pin SDEBAG_TX​ baud rate 115200).
    The board has two processors — one labeled Master (ICT_M) and the other Slave (ICT_S).
    The messages are being repeated in a continuous loop.
    Below are the log results:
    Slave :
    ERROR : FW#1_CORE0 magickey error(0x0)
    BL1 EMMC FW#2 core0,1

      Samsung Series 9 - BIOS issue
      by Kjell
      After installing Linux, I can no longer enter the BIOS of my Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3C) laptop. When pressing [F2] during boot I simply get a black screen. Same thing when pressing [F10] and choosing "Setup" from the "App Menu" tab. Apparently this is a relatively common issue with Samsung laptops of that generation, but unfortunately i haven't been able to resolve the issue (yet).

      Things i've tried so far; reinstalled Windows 10, checked for redundant boot entries, tried to factory reset using the emergency keyhole, attempted to clear the NVRAM by physically...

      AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
      by wattage
      Hello Badcaps Community,

      I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

      The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

      🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
      by macabook
      Hello everyone,

      I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
      🧩 Initial Issue
      • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
      • External display (HDMI) shows

      MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 - real bios dump from board needed (no stock bios)
      by DynaxSC
      Hi, I have an MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 board with damaged BIOS and i need a bios dump from a real board, along with MAC, UUID and Serial Number info (eg. a BIOS screenshot and pictures from the board stickers).

      I need to reconstruct the bios on my board, based on another bios image form a real board - meaning a bios image containing MAC address, UUID and Serial number. A stock BIOS is not suffiecient, as it is impossible to discover where the MAC, UUID and SerialNumber are stored. Tried with a similar board, but there are too much differences, and the stock BIOS is missing a lot of...
