            Confirmed. Wrote the I/C with the deleted firm and Imac no post.
            Could you please share the correct one?

                    820-01069-B Boot Loop

                    Hi, im trying to repair this BIOS or change it for another one.
                    The machine goes on an Infinite boot loop.
                    If I remove HDD/SDD It doesn't restart, but as soon as plug an USB (Windows, or MacOS Installer) it freezes and restarts.

                    I've already Cleared the ME Region with no change in behavior.

                    Here is the Original dump and also the Cleared Dump.

                        What's the reason this is happening? I didn't find any information of the problem on the internet.

                          @SMDFlea do you think it can be fixed?
                          I thought of using gdbinit's firmware at his firmware vault and just swapping the serial number. But I don't know if it will work.

                                    🛠️ 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,...

                                    Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request

                                    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....
