              I flashed the chip with your file and soldered it back onto the board.
              But now the laptop seems completely dead. Only the LED lights up in red as long as I press the power button.
              No charging and no reaction.
              Maybe I shorted/damaged something while soldering (I will check this tomorrow)

              P.S: I am a she and not a he
              Same problem to me please help me if you done with this tnx

                        I still get same issue, first power on with keyboard caplocks and led on keyboard on for 30 seconds, then keep on and off. I'm not sure if the original bios file may be bad.

                                Dell Latitude 7420 BIOS Unlock Gone Wrong
                                by Jeff'sTech
                                Hello everyone.

                                I have come here with a rather specific question. I was given a Dell Latitude 7420 laptop with a busted screen, and wanted to see if I could refurbish it into my daily driver. I wanted to experiment and see if a 2-in-1 display would work as the chassis of the laptop and 2-in-1 7420 looked identical. I threw in the display and my hypothesis was correct, however, I was greeted with a locked BIOS and since I didn't know the password, I figured I'd try to unlock it somehow. I bought one of those POGO pin probe things for my CH341A programmer so I could read and make...

                                BIOS update wont complete - Dell Latitude 7420
                                by Julian Bailey
                                Hi all

                                Anyone come across this issue where a BIOS flash will only part complete?

                                It will update the system BIOS and Primary EC BIOS fine but fails to update the Intel TBT Retimer, Intel TBT Retimer 2 and ME Firmware.

                                NVMe m.2 drive isnt detected in the BIOS, but you can get into the BIOS fine and it all works in there as intended.

                                The drive works fine in another laptop.

                                Link to a video I made of what its doing here:

                                Any ideas on how to overcome this?

                                Cheers...

                                Hi

                                i have dell latitude E7270 with following symptoms:
                                - takes long time to restart.
                                - sometimes powers on and then off
                                - sometimes while working it just dies,

                                From googling online bios clean could possible resolve this?

                                i was able to save bios and was going to try bios clean myself but get an below error when i drop it in ME analyzer.(unsure whether this sometimes occurs or could be due to bad/corrupt bios)

                                As ME analyzer gave me an error i just decided to write bios with a cleaned bios from E7270 bios post.
                                I reinstall...

                                🛠️ 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
                                ...
