    about Surface Pro 5 BIOS IC

    Hello good folks from this forum

    I have a question about Surface Pro 5 Bios IC. I'm not sure if this is the right topic in here but here goes. I'm still new to this and learning so please be patience with me

    I have taken off the Bios IC to try remove the bios password on it. I got the original bios readout. Afterwards i could not write to it because pin 7 was damaged (sub board of the reader was broken)
    So i ordered a new progammer plus sub board. But i think i have placed wrongly in the programmer once. Because now it can not detect the IC anymore. So my question is: can i use for example a Bios IC from a surface pro 4 and re-write to pro 5 bios to that? Or do i have to get a donor pro 5 ic for that?

    For now i want to try to get the surface to turn on again with the lock on it. So i try again
    Help would be appreciated

      Surface Pro X 1876 Bios corrupted
      by FalconPunch
      Hello everyone, I happen to have a Microsoft Surface Pro X 1876 in my hands. It was brought to me by a friends which happen to have taken off the bios chip to test another motherboard. Upon putting back the bios chip on the original motherboard, The PC is stucked on Windows logo and won t boot to bios or anything. I suspect that the changes of bios chip somehow corrupted the firmware inside. Is the hypothesis correct?

      Also i extracted the bios inside the chip which was on Winbond 25R128JWPQ you can find the file attached if you can fix it (if possible, I would like some insight on...

      🛠️ 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

      Surface pro 4 bios request
      by muhuruu
      Hey. Sometime ago i bought broken surface pro 4 supposedly it was dead. But turns out it was just a faulty charger. Although when it powered on and after all updates, touchscreen didn't work it also doesn't work in UEFI. On my original bios in device menager it shows yellow triangles on Surface ME and Surface Touch, hid-compliant touchscreen was missing. I already replaced touchscreen and touchscreen board, i've broken the orginal screen when trying to open surface. I already tried diffrent bios files from internet. With the latest one i was able to install the drivers for Surface ME and Surface...

      ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
      by pirati
      Hello everyone,

      I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

      When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

      I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...
