    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

                  Samsung Series 9 - BIOS issue
                  by Kjell
                  After installing Linux, I can no longer enter the BIOS of my Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3C) laptop. When pressing [F2] during boot I simply get a black screen. Same thing when pressing [F10] and choosing "Setup" from the "App Menu" tab. Apparently this is a relatively common issue with Samsung laptops of that generation, but unfortunately i haven't been able to resolve the issue (yet).

                  Things i've tried so far; reinstalled Windows 10, checked for redundant boot entries, tried to factory reset using the emergency keyhole, attempted to clear the NVRAM by physically...

                  🛠️ 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
                  ...

                  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:

                  NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
                  by Citymin
                  Hi all,

                  My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
                  The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
                  When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
                  (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

                  NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
                  PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC

                  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...
