    Samsung NP300E5E BIOS looping / power cycling

    Hello All,
    I have a customer's Samsung NP300E5E S01CA notebook that is BIOS boot looping / power cycling after they attempted a BIOS update. I got this third hand but I believe this is how the problem occurred.
    The splash screen comes up for about 1-2 seconds then power cycles this way continuously. I believe I'm going to need to reflash the BIOS to correct the problem. Would anyone have experienced this problem before?

    Board: BA41-02209A PIOTEK
    BIOS: P02RBD (original?)

    If it doesnt detect a hdd, it will keep rebooting. So check whether its detecting HDD.

        Thank you mcplslg, I reconnected the hard disk, and while the screen did stay up longer, it didn't solve the problem. Good to know though.

        Thank you SMDFlea, The files on those links pointed to a different model and I had read about issues coming up in those cases. I was able to find a BIOS file, I believe on this board, that showed the correct model. I flashed it and it seems to be working OK now.

        Thank you both for your help. I'll include the file I used in case it can help someone else. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=105240

          I need a BIOS dump for the Samsung S49CG934SU monitor
          by Habble7
          The Samsung S49CG934SU monitor does not power on - no LED indicator activity and no response to power button. However, when 21V power is connected, it immediately draws 0.8A of current with no display output. The motherboard processor gets warm, and there is continuous reading activity from the W25Q128BV BIOS chip.

          Suspected Cause:
          I suspect the BIOS may have been corrupted during a power interruption while updating the firmware. The official website provides firmware updates, but they can only be installed via USB flash drive.

          Troubleshooting Attempts:

          by TJ65
          Hello everyone,
          i made out of two broken Samsung Galaxy Tabpro S one that works partially.
          The one Mainboard had a broken screen output but working hdmi (usb c adapter) output and the other didnt start at all.
          I switch the bios chips and now the tablet starts but very very slow and it takes some trys to get it starting.
          The problem is, that the micom Version doesn't match with the bios version, see picture.
          How can i update the Micom Version? The Samsung bios update wont work.

          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...
