Hey guys! I've recently found out this amazing forum where people talk and discuss about electronics repairs and i'm actually amazed with everything that here's have to offer.
Oh well, i came here looking for a simple bios file in order to get my main laptop working again, but after a while trying to figure out what the hell was going on, i'm quite concerned that it would be worse than i tought. I was fooling around with Mr. Smokeless's UMAF BIOS mod, looking for a way to enable CSM compatibility and legacy boot on my device.
Device specs:
AN517-54-51RQ (LA-L181P)
I5-11400H
RTX 3050
BIOS: W25Q128JVSQ
SN: NHQEFAL0044020018D9Z00
SNID: 402000397935
After messing around for a while, i've found about those overclock options that were patched with that bootable thing, and then i decided to enter that level. I've done a ton of overclock over the years, but that would be the first time in a gaming laptop. The thing is, after i enable the "unlock overclock" (wasn't exactly that but it was something like that) option at the modded bios, the damn thing refuses to turn on ever since.
Here's the symptoms: It power led turns on, keyboard led's turn on, then fan goes at lowest RPM possible (barely audible), and nothing anymore. Sometimes, after 4~5 secs, fans stop and then nothing anymore. GPU or CPU heats quite a bit whenever i left that thing on for a while, and it won't even get the fans spinning to compensate. Weirdest pc symptom i've ever seen.
I tried to reflash BIOS using my CH431a and SOC8 clamp, but with no luck. I thought since i was fooling around with the BIOS, it might have corrupted it, but at least for now, no luck. Tried to turn on without RAM, battery, CMOS battery, without any NVME storage, and no luck or change on the symptoms. The only thing i've managed to do that would turn the fans to takeoff speed, was turning it on with crysis mode, pressing POWER while holding FN+ESC, and i've tried a ton of different bioses, with different names, UEFI file directly on a USB stick, and nothing. Not even a change in it's behavior. Resetting the battery and things while holding power for abour 30 secs changes nothing as well.
Right now i'm waiting for ACER to answer my technical support request, but i definetly am intrigued with that problem - since i'm posting on this forum, it's fair to guess that i'm more of a DIY guy and kinda figures out a way to repair my stuff - but it's quite sad the thought of "no laptop for you" for about 30 days or so.
Attatched, i will link my original bios file that i got with my ch431a, and if there's any aditional infos that somebody wanna know, just ask! I will do the best to solve that thing.
