I tried given BIOS by ala_borbe but my original bios size does not match (1024KB), with original, pc turns on, fan spins but no video, unlit screen. With this bios(2048KB), pc won't even start, presssing on button does nothing.
Motherboard is now working after changing Bios chip for another one, using old bin file, 1024KB. For some reason, the given 2048KB file would not work, and after changing chips and resoldering, I didn't want to do further work.
I thank the community for helping us with Bios bins.

So I was messing with the wrong chip? Glad to know, learning experience. Well, yesterday customer brought the AIO back, would briefly turn on again, then image would turn off. I did hear the Windows start-up music, so I knew data was going in, just no backlight. This AIO has an inverter, checked out good, but I smelled burning plastic, turns out there was a short on the wires going into the top lamp. PC case shows signs of a rough opening by a prior tech, metal screwdriver perhaps, probably he inserted it too far.
So it's fixed now, I just resoldered the wires back into the lamp. NOT an easy job to get into.
Lesson learned, I need to follow my nose more. Thanks to SMDFlea too.
