    If I flash this bios file, will it just work, or does it need the ME cleaning?

    I'm not a super pro like some here, when it comes to firmware. I have a machine with the following specs:
    ENVY X360
    15-ew0013dx
    SN: CND2261KS3
    Prod: 698V0UA
    Board: LA-M021P Rev 1A
    Chip# Winbond 25R128JVSN​

    Basically, when I power it up, I get no video, and the fans run hard - nothing else. Seems like a BIOS issue to me, so I posted a request in the BIOS request section. I haven't heard anything back(and that's fine) So I tried downloading the BIOS from HP, then I extracted it and flashed it onto the chip. Unfortunately, all I get is the power light on, and nothing else happens. I was searching this forum and I found https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...in1-15-ew007nb Posts #4 and #7. If I flash one of those, will that work, or will I just need my original BIOS cleaned?

      Help Disabling Flash Protection Range Registers on Lenovo P360 Tiny BIOS
      by abhorsen
      Hey guys,

      Hope you all are doing well. I come here from Win-Raid because I am having issues disabling Flash Protection Range Registers so I can flash my BIOS from within Windows using Intel's IFW tool/using flashrom within Linux, however I cannot due to the above mentioned error.

      Here is my thread on Win-Raid detailing the whole process I went through: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/re...h-gen/95478/27

      Essentially I managed to boot into Windows while shorting PINs 1+5 of my audio chip to disable the HAP bit...

      NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
      by Citymin
      Hi all,

      My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
      The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
      When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
      (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

      NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
      PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC

      Unable to verify IC or write/erase/flash BIOS file to XMC QH128AHIG SPI chip using NeoProgrammer/AsProgrammer
      by testaccgta
      Hi, everyone!

      I've recently acquired two brand new SPI chips to replace the one currently in my Acer A514-54G laptop MB (FH5AT LA-K092P). The reason why I'm replacing the current SPI chip is because I had some difficulties with a third-party IT assistant who pretty much lacked the soldering skills and ended up destroying the current SPI chip soldered to my MB from factory.

      I've decided to do this on my own because I spent the past month or so learning some soldering skills and BIOS modding through Badcaps and WinRaid forums, hence the attempt. I've also chosen to buy...

      HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb
      by iZakre
      Hello everybody!

      To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

      The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...
