            Something to do with the GPU it seems.

                        It's a nvidia... worth a shot replacing with new one. I've seen a few stubborn ones which aren't shorted, but just refuse to show video no matter what you do to them.

                                my laptop is lenovo flex 5 14ITL05

                                recently my power supply for this laptop developed a fault.
                                which caused a short in my usb c port -- verified with a new charger.

                                rant: so, i went to the repair tech in my country, he asked for a huge repair cost when i decided to get it done someplace else this "great person" nicked my bios chip, asked me to be aware for repair scams lol.
                                I was stupid and unable to find the flaw at the moment. Another repair tech told me that my bios chip was stolen and an 8mb bios chip is in place of that. he told me that a 32...

                                ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                                by jbonavita
                                Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                                With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                                With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                                Some issues
                                A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                                B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                                Things I tried

                                1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

                                [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                                by zenius
                                Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                                Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                                Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
                                by Wahaz
                                Hello,

                                I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                                So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                                I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

                                HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2523nd - Dimm2 slot disabled after corrupt bios repair? Advice requested.

                                Hi everyone,

                                I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

                                I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

                                After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

                                I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...
