    Try romove the ram and star the laptop with out ram memory see if any changes done
    is the laptop has an ec chip (the io memory chip) if yes you need to flash it too
    if no you need a working bios with the same cpu as your laptop

            hi can you measure these components that I am missing and maybe some others that I have missed. I have been looking for a schematic where I can cross reference this BIOS chip but couldn't find any online so the only hope now is to find a working board which is not possible for me as of now. would greatly appreciate it.

            this is the BIOS chip from the back near the EC chip.

                HP Elitebook 820 G4 BIOS repair assistance required
                by Wutru
                Hi guys,

                If someone would be able to provide some expertise, I'd be very grateful.

                BIOS Corruption - Cause
                So I managed to corrupt my machine by installing linux and enrolling custom secure boot keys. I did choose to enroll the Microsoft keys as well, to prevent any potential bricking due to 3rd party drivers from HP being signed with those keys.
                After doing that, and rebooting(it did boot, powerLED, fanspin etc.), the laptop did not give any video output on the LCD or video connectors. I think I was able to get in BIOS and trigger the beeper by pressing ESC....

                The right BIOS Programmer - The right software (HP Elitebook 820 G1, 840 G2) no soldering, EC, DMI, ME
                by STKR123
                Greetings badcaps community,

                I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
                So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

                Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

                I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

                These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

                I learned that desoldering...

                🛠️ 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
                ...

                Hp Zbook Firefly 14 G8 - mobo: corvette-605qa321330-mb-a01 - need all bios files checked
                by zlr8r
                hey guys,

                i have been working on for days a Hp Zbook Firefly 14 G8 - mobo: corvette-605qa321330-mb-a01.

                Doesn't Boot - only thing working is an LED flashing orange on/off, that's it

                - have tried cleaning the Main bios (ME region) which seems to have gone smoothly enough, and have re-soldered it back onto the board, but then I spotted an almost identical Bios chip near the EC on other side, but I don't know what is needed to be done with that bios ?


                - i have attached my original Main and EC bios's (they are both 32mb! chips)
                - i have...

                Elitebook 850 G5 BIOS bricked
                by Guest
                Hello,

                I have an EliteBook 850 G5. After a Windows update, including a BIOS update, the notebook turns on, but the screen remains black, and the fans spin at high speed—nothing else happens.

                I assume the BIOS update failed, so I searched for the BIOS chip.

                I found a Winbond chip located between the RAM and the hard drive, which has a size of 32 MB.

                However, the BIOS update available on HP's website is only 17 MB in size. I used the update version that was previously installed when the notebook was still working.

                Can the corrupted...
