MSI GP62 6QF - powers on, keyboard and power button lights up, then switches off.

Motherboard is: MS-16J51 (i think).

Symptoms:
1) press power button: keyboard and power button leds light up.
a) nothing on the screen.
b) fans are not spinning.
c) no sounds.
2) after about 1 min 15 secs the laptop switches off.

I have tried flashing the bios, which I download from:
here.

Not sure this board has a separate flash chip for the EC. Could find a flash chip near the EC, so it's probably inside it.

Flashing the BIOS just result in the exact same fault.

Don't currently have a programmer to flash an EC.

Questions:
1) Would flashing the EC (or BIOS again) fix this issue?
2) Is something else causing this fault?

If you both flashed this bios, then you are both in the same trap, in that file ME is just initialized, not properly clean and configured.

If you are sure that that is the bios for exactly your model of mainboard, here it is properly configured. BTW, it really seems that the bios is the issue here.
