I tried the patch on some random 840 G6 BIOS I found here that had produced EC errors and later on on the BIOS from danito to unlock MPM again. Both were unsuccessful. The laptop didn't come alive.
Now the BIOS from hoaca388 works perfectly, but also only on the second try. On the first try I had also yellow-orange blinking pattern on the charge LED. Afterwards I read out the non-working BIOS and somehow the chip got modified a lot. Maybe the BIOS tries to write back to itself and failed because I didn't solder well.
I guess I still have to learn proper hot-air-soldering.
So, probably this error report ist just me not being able to solder, but I'll not try the non-working files any more, as I still soldered around much too much in this mainboard.
And the FF's are there because I at first tried to read out the BIOS with an adapter without unsodering, but somehow the mainboard came alive a little without power supply, just with the CH341, and destroyed the chip - it even set the write protection flags, so I had to buy a new BIOS chip.
But now everything works - yeah!
