    T15g Bricked BIOS - Which chip has the BIOS?

    Hello, after what is seems like a bad BIOS firmware upgrade, the machine had extrange visual glitches and froze.
    The laptop now does not turn on as normal, and does not make post or show the BIOS page: It will stay at a blank page with beeping sounds: https://youtu.be/OC2o9_b1RQ0

    I'm planning to flash the bios chip with a CH341A, but it seems that they are three chip candidates:
    1. Winbond 25Q80DVSIG (3V 8M-bit) Located on the GPU board
    2. MXIC 25U8035F (1.8V 8M-bit) Located on the GPU board
    3. Winbond 25Q80DVNIG (3V 8M-bit) Located on the CPU board
    4. Winbond W25Q256JV (3V 256M-bit) Located on the CPU board
    Which one is more probable of being the BIOS chip? I have attached a picture of the mainboard where the chips are located.

    Laptop details:
    • Model: Lenovo T15g Gen 1
    • Type: 20UR-0038UK
    • Board: GP540/GP740
    • Proc: i7 10750H
    Thanks!!

          Bricked HP Probook 450 G7 Bios questions
          by studdy05
          Hp Probook 450 G7 s# SCD0348W35 had a locked BIOS. Bought BIOS and EC chips off Ebay that were supposed to match this machine - the 450 G7. Flashed in the BIOS on chip i bought using a CH341. BIOS unlocked next boot. Some error to contact HP. Entered BIOS and reset to system defaults and rebooted. Machine worked fine but every cold boot the contact HP message popped and everything else worked as fine. Assumed the error was from EC chip not matching BIOS that i just flashed in. So i flashed in the EC that was supposed to match from the EBay chip i bought and instant brick.

          Ive got...

          🛠️ 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 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...
