    Hp Touchsmart 300 bios

    Hi,

    Does anyone have a working dump for the HP Touchsmart 300 with motherboard APP78-CF, the problem i have with this machine is when powered on only the fan comes on, very loudly, no beeps or anything else. Iv already tried removing all the components ie. RAM, HDD, etc. but get the same result.

    Any help/advice would be appreciated, thank you.

    Does the power light flash when you turn it on. Count the number of flashes. Are you using the original power adapter? You cannot just substitute a notebook adapter.

        In a very similar case i found the dvd was bad. It was thinkpad Edge AIO. Fan moving very loudly perhaps indicates some component attached to the mobo is bad. So isolate one by one and you may get display. I learnt this after wasting 2 hours flashing bios and troubleshooting.

          Does anyone have the 300-1223 which is version 5.12 ?
          i flashed the oem dload and have no logo.

          then flashed the 300-1038HK and shows version 6.xx and french but logo works.

          or maybe a way to fix the SLP DMI info of this amibios junker.

            i flashed original webpage JESS5.12 renamed to JESS512.bin in linux with flashrom and my trusty CH341A (in windows all spi flash proggy versions misread for me?)

            then i was able to recover the template of dmi info from the french bios and apply it to mine with amidedos which is part of TTAV134 hp_dmi_tools with commands similar to

            had to write each line manually as config.dms did not work to write.. i think its due to version and date lines in it had to be erased?

                🛠️ 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 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,...
