    Minisforum N40 schematics and Boardview

    Hi!
    I have bought a used Minisforum N40 which is not POSTing, all Voltages are present. One Coil has a fluctuating Voltage, no clue what it is for. Theres a scratch next to one Ram Module and Missing components. I have replaced some of them with 36 Ohm resistors. I left the missing Caps Out. Anyone got schematics, Boardview or BIOS dump?

      Please make a seperate thread for the bios. Is the resistor/cap placement the same at the side of the other ram chips

          I've got a BIOS installer from the support. I am attaching the extracted image file just in case somebody needs it. Link to bios https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...forum-n40-bios

          No the placement on every chip is different. I found a silkscreen file online (also attached). most resistors around are measuring 36 ohms, it think these are terminators for the dataline.

          Cannot test the BIOS image / board, i think i fried the flash while reading the contents, accidentally chosen 3.3V🤦♂️

              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...

              [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
              by zenius
              Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

              Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

              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....
