Requesting BIOS for NEC VersaPro VX-2

[Yossy]

[Manufacturer]
NEC

[Laptop model] There are several model-names I found on this laptop.
VersaPro VX-2
VKT16X-2
PC-VKT16XZG2

[Mother board model]
DNLL1/L2 LA-C423P Rev:1.0
(Picture is also attached on this thread)

[BIOS chip model]
Winbond 25Q128JVSQ
(Extracted 16MB of dump data from possibly corrupted chip via CH341A is attached on this thread)

[What I've tested so far]
I have a bricked laptop which lights up power & charging lamp when I plug in the ac adaptor and when I push the power button the led on it changes its color to green.

But It never turns on backlight nor any image on monitor.
I plugged in HDMI cable trying to see if it could output any image onto external monitor, but all I could see on the external monitor was "No Signal".

When I let the laptop sit for a while after turing on, eventually the fan starts to kick in.

By considering these symptoms above, I think the Power-management IC is up and running, but the bios is corrupted for some reason.

So I want to reprogram the BIOS chip.
The manufacturer has BIOS updating software on the web, but the problem is that the program is supposed to run on Windows.
-The download URL is as follows.
(https://support.nec-lavie.jp/driver/...odule_no=11409)
(The update program is also attached.)

Currently I can't even get to see BIOS menu before loading Windows...

If you have working BIOS data on this model, that would help me a lot.
Thank you in advance!

Re: Requesting BIOS for NEC VersaPro VX-2

Actually I didn't solve the problem.
Today I checked on the motherboad with DMM for further possible faults, then I found the CPU on the laptop was shorted to death.

If I change the CPU for a working one, that might bring it back to life, but I don't have that skill nor the budget to have someone to do it.

Therefore unfortunately there is no meaning for me to get a working BIOS now.
As you said, this info might help someone in the future.

Re: Requesting BIOS for NEC VersaPro VX-2

Apologies on this. I am not yet so well verse in bios settings.

I recently acquired the said laptop but no HDD. upon trying to install a new HDD and trying to reformat via USB drive, I found out that cannot enter bios setup since the previous owner has set an "Admin password" or "Supervisor Password".

Thus, I am not able to do anything unless I can remove the password. Can anyone help me on this.

Thank you.
