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...Comment

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, suerteComment

compare your board to Asus W790 Sage
it seems to use the same reference config for the bios.

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.

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... -
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.... -
I need someone that can capsulate one of the bios files below, and i prefer the older bios version so i can flash it using CH341A tool into the bios chip.
The manufacturer BIOS files are bigger than the BIOSbackup1.bin files by 256KB and I don't know how to fix or recompile it.
You can see in this link a conversation between me and other people (Starting at page 10) who tried to help me (thanks to their efforts), but i still couldn't fix it and the laptop is considered as dead until now.
Also, I uploaded a backup file for the bios that I extracted by using CH341A...
