Hello all, I have been researching an issue on my son's laptop. The laptop powers on, but has no video. The video briefly worked with the USB-C port, but has stopped displaying video all together. So, no HDMI, screen, or USB-C. It is starting up, I can see the backlight but no display. You can hear the annoying startup sound when it turns on. My son told me that it completed an update and then the issues began.
After my research I have found that a lot of owners of these laptops have had issues after system updates. I have downloaded the boardview file and schematic. I can see that the board has 2 BIOS chips, and I am almost certain that the main BIOS chip is U2802 (MX25L12873FM2I-10G). There is another chip, U7802 (W25Q80EWSNIG-ND), but it is only an 8Mbit chip, which is too small to hold the main BIOS file from what I have learned.
I have purchased a CH341A programmer and I will need a BIOS, so I can reprogram the chip. In my research I have also read that you cannot just upload a BIOS file that has been downloaded from the ASUS website. Is that correct? I want to do this correctly, so I will appreciate everyone's guidance before attempting to reflash the BIOS chip.
I am new to this, so if my assumptions or understanding are incorrect, please feel free to correct me. I am here to learn from this experience and hopefully continue my learning experience.
Thanks,
Pete
