    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.

        tambien hablo español si quieres resolver alguna duda escribeme en el privado, suerte

          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

                  🛠️ 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
                  ...

                  ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
                  by pirati
                  Hello everyone,

                  I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

                  When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

                  I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...

                  HP Elitedesk 800 G2 DM / Mini -> Can't get BIOS flashed, tried multiple. Update Brick
                  by Datahoarder
                  HP EliteDesk 800 G2 MINI/DM (1L PC)

                  I have 40 of these units. All of which i tried to update bios with HP's utility got bricked. All of them were bios password locked, i used the jumper thing to reset it. Couple updated bios, one of which worked fine for _ONE_ boot. Second is now mixed with rest, i don't know which it is specifically so have not retested it.

                  All had some MESpilock failed errors on (my) first boot of the unit.
