Aira looks like a stripped down version of Alpinia looking at pictures, so I'm gonna try it, thanks.
I would still prefer to have the correct BIOS if anyone has it.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardViewComment

Re: Compaq SG3-350FR H-AIRA-RS780L-uATX BIOS Request
Tried to flash directly your dump, it didn't work.
Attached is old dump.
Any idea or anyone has the correct dump?
(might be that the issue isn't the BIOS…)

Bought it, sadly it didn't fix it. What was I expecting anyway?
Attached is the "good" downloaded BIOS.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardViewComment

Re: Compaq SG3-350FR H-AIRA-RS780L-uATX BIOS Request
I got proper VCore and this is an AMD board. Way more chances of the northbridge being dead than the SIO. I don't want to waste my time on this because I know that the chances of it being worthless are too high (ie. it can't be fixed).
Thanks for the help again anyway.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardViewComment

Re: Compaq SG3-350FR H-AIRA-RS780L-uATX BIOS Request
No problem . B.t.w. ,the "good" bios is probably ok,the motherboard is the same, a Foxconn 2AAF 1.00Comment

Re: Compaq SG3-350FR H-AIRA-RS780L-uATX BIOS Request
Ok so I shouldn't have but I came back to this board. BIOS was not being read at all.
I heated the northbridge (215-0674042) to 200°C, the board booted, I cried because it's another board that goes to the thrash bin due to a crappy northbridge. Thanks ATi/AMD.
Can confirm that the BIOS is good though.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardViewComment

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 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,... -
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.... -
My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.- I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
- I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
- I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this

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
