    Clevo PD50PNN won't boot after BIOS Backup

    Hello,

    i hope to find help her in the forum. It is a littlebit tricky. I searched many Days about disabling IntelME that was may major task. So i have a Clevo PD50PNN motherboard.

    At first i tried to Backup the BIOS with tools direcly from Windows(normaly i am a Linux user). But no full success because not every part of the bios was readable. So i bought a modified CH341a for a Backup.

    Backup worked but since the backup the Laptop is not booting anymore. I flashed the newest Version oft the BIOS with success, verfiy everything ok.
    But the laptop did nothing.

    I searched and found out that there is a Problem with the EC when someone is manipulating the BIOS Chip.
    So next step i flashed the EC with a Arduino Mega 2560 with the Version of the manufacture.
    But nothing New. The Laptop is brinked. Can someone help me?
    Does this happend often when i want externel Backup the BIOS?

    Thanks

    Add a full laptop name to the thread title, because this "PD50PNN" alone means nothing for the people seeing the title, and besides it will facilitate future searches with the forum search engine, also attach the original bios backup, and the factory dump you've tried to program in your post. This will give you a better chance of getting help, don't you think so?
    In addition, your post will comply with the rules and will not be deleted.

          BIOS for a Clevo N240JU
          by Jonas-fr
          I have a non booting Clevo N240JU laptop which I think as a bad BIOS as the boards seems OK. I don't think I can link to the official website of Clevo but there's plenty of drivers other there for the N240JU laptop but no BIOS.

          Does anyone got a BIOS dump for this laptop? Thanks!

          Dell Latitude 5530 BIOS Password Removal Attempted but I Broke the Laptop
          by TopPop
          Sorry for the long story. I have a Dell Latitude 5530 (i7) laptop (South Peak 15 MLK MB DDR4 203102-1 FK8VG$JA) with an admin BIOS password that I want to remove. Service Tag: HYKFPT3. Other than that the laptop worked OK.

          I found a CH341A Black and went looking for the BIOS chip on the motherboard. After trying to read one chip that was a firmware chip but not the BIOS I think I found the BIOS chip labeled Winbond 25Q256JVEN. Altogether I think I found 4 different firmware chips in the laptop. The BIOS chip is a WSON8 6x8. I used the CH341A, NeoProgrammer, and a cheap pogo pin clip...

          Bios partially corrupted somehow and now warm boot doesn't work which is critical
          by Neddsme
          Hie.
          I own a Lenovo ideapad v310-15IKB with an i5 7th generation with only Intel graphics configuration.
          Now the heart of the problem is that I don't know when or how it happened but I suddenly started getting distortion in the graphics output on the LCD. This basically meant a black screen full of flickering multicolored short horizontal lines. This would happen 30-60 minutes after booting and using it normally.
          I run Windows 10 20H build so I thought it was just a Windows update issue or graphics driver outdated issue.
          I managed to run Windows troubleshooting and...

          2022 Razer Blade 14 (RZ09-0427) won’t boot after Windows update, only the green LED blinks - overheated or BIOS?
          by 0xx
          Hi folks,

          My son clicked “Update and Shutdown” on a Razer Blade 14 (2022, RZ09-0427), closed the lid, disconnected the charger, and put the laptop in his backpack. The next day, it wouldn’t boot: only the green LED blinked, no fans, no keyboard backlight, no display. The chassis does get warm, so the CPU/GPU seems to get power.

          What I’ve tried so far: disconnecting the main battery, CMOS reset with power drain (30s), using a different power adapter, and connecting to the monitor - same result.

          I assumed that Windows Update was interrupted due to closing...

          WD Sentinel DS5100 (NAS) boot issues
          by DeanWy
          Hi all,

          I have a Western Digital Sentinel DS5100 NAS system which has stopped working. It has dual BIOS. I bought the system second hand with an already broken primary BIOS (it rebooted multiple times until second BIOS was used).

          It worked until recently. The system was idle in Windows Server 2012 and a BSOD occurred, I think it was 'critical process died'. Thereafter it didn't boot, it just sat there with no video output and fan speed at 100% (there's a proprietary Windows driver by WD which controls the fan, outside of that it always runs at 100%).

          There...
