    EC part from bios, Where to flash it?

    Hi everyone,
    Can the EC part of a bios be flashed only on the dedicated chip of the motherboard or must it also be flashed on the main bios chip when there is 2 chips like for example on the LA-G881P motherboard?
    have a nice day.

      Is it okay to flash stock bios onto the motherboard's BIOS?
      by AkaBukai
      Hi there,
      I have a 14" Lenovo Laptop (Flex 5 14ALC05) which has a boot issue.
      The little LED on the power button is flashing slowly and nothing happen.
      This unit do not have any BIOS button cell battery so I tried many times draining the power but it is still not powering on.

      So I decided to flash the BIOS using a cheap programmer.
      And I was successfully able to read the content (exactly 16MB file) which BTW is a WINBOND 74m12jwsiq (according to the package inscription - but detected as W25Q128FW in the software - IMSProg on Linux)

      I also...

      Panasonic CF-20G0247VM BIOS Bad Flash Help
      by James Jackson
      I usually try to figure these things out on my own but am asking for help now as I have been beating my head against a wall.

      Backstory, I initially ended up with a CF20 Mk2 with a locked BIOS. I used aptio to read the BIOS and made the adjustments to the .rom file and attempted to write it back with aptio before reading other users problems with that setup. Well it bricked the BIOS go figure. Computer no longer boots, black screen. I found a clean BIOS on this forum but now I am having ME issues. So I would rather hand over the aptio dump(pre BIOS brick) and a hardware reader dump(post...

      Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46 DMI not working
      by aico60
      Hello everyone,

      I am working on an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46, board HH51R LA-M002P Rev: 1A with an AMD CPU and Insyde Bios rev 5.

      Short issue description: BIOS does not recognize any of the DMI data.

      History of the laptop:
      The seller of the laptop said that it shut down during a BIOS update.
      I bought in in a condition where it turned on but did not post.
      While waiting for my RT809F to arrive, I tried to perform a Crisis recovery, which messed up the EC firmware, so... the laptop stopped even turning on. Power and Charging LEDs didn't work either...

      🛠️ 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
      ...
