      Thanks for that. I have written the new BIOS and tried to do a PRAM reset straight after first boot but won't let me do the reset.

      When I hold options key it shows the padlock and I tested the keyboard on another mac

                    Asus BIOS How To Reset To Default Settings?
                    by YG007
                    Hello... Where do I start. I have 2 questions/scenarios that might bring this laptop back to life, so here it goes!

                    I have this laptop (Asus UX52VS) where I was flashing the BIOS to it and it froze during the process. I didn't have a reliable BIOS chip programmer at the time (It was a CH341A USB Programmer from Amazon where it took hours just to get the clamp on the chip and then every time I read, it gave me different results/corruption, and never would pass the verify test as no 2 reads were the same data), so I brought it to a shop. They had it for almost 2 months, but during...

                    HP EliteDesk 800 G4 35W DM Desktop Mini PC - not posting after BIOS reset attempt
                    by llek100
                    Hello, sorry for the long post, I just wanted to include any details that might help.

                    A bit of backstory - I currently have 5 of these MiniPCs - I got them for very cheap from Ebay. All of these PCs are BIOS administrator password locked without their drives.
                    I also got a G3 large tower, that I could reset the password of fine just using a header and a button on the motherboard.
                    So I thought that I could do the same with the G4 MiniPCs, oh how wrong I was.
                    First of all, I stumbled upon a tutorial, that apparently showed a BIOS password reset procedure - where I basically...

                    Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
                    by Wahaz
                    Hello,

                    I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                    So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                    I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

                    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...
