    mini pc bios problem manufacturing unknown

    Hi friends, could someone help me? I have a Chinese NUC with an apparent BIOS problem (no display). The problem is that I can't find the motherboard model anywhere, nor the model... that is, it's a generic mini PC but it doesn't have a model... I've read the BIOS file and I'm uploading it in case someone could repair it or someone who had one of the same... I'm uploading images of the motherboard and the PC...

    Hi,

    I'm not sure that information helps you but what I've found about that bios file:

    Vendor BIOS Info :
    - BIOS Vendor : AMI BIOS Aptio 5
    - BIOS Core Version : 05.13.09.06
    - BIOS Core Date : 14.09.2020 20:43:34
    - BIOS Tag : GWHL3906
    - OEM ID : ALASKAA M I
    - Firmware ID : 91BCE0B6-DFAA-7904-0F4F-9A2ECCB1B952

    Also this is (I believe) official website: https://minibox.cl. Unfortunately only spanish ? language, but you can try contact with them and ask for some information about your motherboard/bios.

    Did you try clear ME Region ?

      Thanks for the info, I have already contacted them, in fact this device was purchased there, it is from Chile (my country) and they don't even have the drivers on the page... much less the BIOS... I haven't tried to clean it... since generally the display failure is due to the BIOS region...

        hi I'm going to describe what I do in these cases, when the support is very limited it requires you to re-match the parts of the machine such as video and USB ports number of memory slots PCIe ports ect. I look in the support of another company that has exactly the same MoBo configuration, I download that bios I verify that it is the same size example 8mb I write that directly to the tsop without editing anything I verify that it works, finally I update the same file again with some wizard or application that has the support to do this update type a .exe in Windows and voila.

          compare your board to Asus W790 Sage

          it seems to use the same reference config for the bios.

            I have same Chinese NUC. I was made a dump of my OK working BIOS
            Use flash programmer and upload to your Winbond W25Q128*V
            Or boot from UEFI Shell with AfuEfix64.efi and make
            Code:
            AfuEfix64.efi dump.bin /p /b /n /capsule

                  Problem:
                  I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
                  Initial Findings:
                  • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
                  • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
                  • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
                  Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
                  • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.

                  Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                  by AquaMan Ua
                  Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                  Hello,

                  I'm using TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" model laptop for over 3 years and i'm entering the same bios administrator password everyday. My laptop has Aptio BIOS (American Megatrends, AMI).

                  But today it's not accepting my password. I'm %100 sure i'm entering the correct password.

                  I'm trying to reset my bios without success.

                  I tried :

                  -I removed the BIOS battery and main battery. Waited for a long time but it didn't work. They already stated in the user manual that the password will not be reset even if the batteries...

                  🛠️ 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
                  ...
