    Dell Precision 7710 no M.2 Wifi AND LTE modem

    Hi,
    I have an issue with a 7710 motherboard, nor Wifi card/slot (8260AC and 3160AC) and LTE modem/slot (EM7455) are detected in bios/OS, the strange thing is that the wifi card is a wifi/bt combo and the BT is recognized in bios and working.
    Since BT is working I think the power for these card is present, I already tried a few bios for the motherboard (asked on another thread) but only one is working, I got the board with a bricked bios and it's not a thunderbolt version.

    I believe there is either a signal that disable the M.2 slot (all enabled in bios) or wireless capability or it's an issue with the PCIE signal the wifi and the modem are using.
    For now I checked the common signal between both "non working pcie" slot which is SUSCLK and is present at 33.3kHz. There is also signal like PCIE_WAKE# or PCH_PLTRST#_EC but these are also used for the M.2 2280 slot and both M.2 2280 slot are working in sata or PCIE mode so this should works...
    On the wifi slot there are some signal like m0375 or m0060 that are connected to the EC trough a diode, the LTE slot also have similar signal but they aren't common signal for both slot.
    I also thought that they might have been disabled by the EC BUT I don't think the EC would mess with them when going into bios (I believe the EC should "enable" them in order to see them in bios).

    Any help is appreciated, I don't really know the logic of the M.2 disabled/enable pin, should they be high or low. I don't if disabled, they should still being detected by bios and so on. I don't mind permanently enable both slot if possible.

    Thanks for the help, please notes that the real board doesn't have the "UZ29" even present/written on the board.

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

    DELL Precision 3660 Tower Workstation BIOS
    by cozily
    I bought a DELL Precision 3660 Tower Workstation from a second-hand seller. After bringing it home, I found out it was actually a testing unit. The BIOS cannot be upgraded (only the ME and PD2 sections are upgradable), and there are test messages displayed during boot, which really affects the user experience.

    Upon inspecting the motherboard, I noticed that the BIOS is composed of two chips: one 8-pin 16MB chip and one 16-pin 32MB chip.

    I acquired two new chips from another source containing the official BIOS version, but after installing them, I found that none of the...

    Bios Request - Dell Precision 5530 2in1 LA-F211P rev 1.0 - updated
    by mizzed
    Hi, Would anyone have a bios dump for a Dell Precision 5530 2in1 LA-F211P rev 1.0.

    Following a failed bios, I had a new bios chip programmed with the the XPS 15 9575 2in1 LA-F211P rev 1.0, which the motherboard has identical model numbers, (having not being able to find a 5530 2in1 bios) however both in bios and os, the Vega graphics, and sound boards are not detected or installable, everything else worked fine. The only difference I can see is that although the motherboards are nearly identical is that they have slightly different CPU/GPU 8705g vs 8706g.

    If anyone...
