    Copying/getting BIOS content problem.

    Hello,

    I am trying to copy the BIOS content, since a user replied to my post in the laptop repair section, and told me that this is a good starting point on my situation. I CAME here, to the BIOS section, and read the guides there, but just to be sure... I downloaded two files, a BIOS configuration utility, sp143621.exe, and a HP UEFI Support Environment, sp61101.exe.

    When I run the configuration utility on the cmd,

    It gives me an error, system not supported, unable to connect to HP WMI namespace:'root\HP'

    Then, I tried to install HP UEFI Support Environment, but It asks me to do a partition, and before accepting, I want to ask.

    I changed the original hard drive to an SSD one.

    I believe that at some point I updated the BIOS. In any case, in System Information on Windows 7 64 bits, the BIOS information says

    BIOS Version/Date Hewlett Packard F.27, 21/12/2011
    SMBIOS Version 2.6

    My laptop is an HP Pavilion dm4 -1065dx, and the problem I have is that the power/charging led that needs to be on to switch on the computer, gets on after a lot of time since I plug the laptop to the electricity. I am using an external monitor, and I use It without battery. It failed years ago.

    Thank you very much.​

    Dell Latitude 5400 Chromebook UEFI bios
    by jhanra
    Hi there masters, recently i got a dell 5400 chromebook and wanted to install windows, i searched the internet and i found out other people also wanting a UEFI bios for this model, i searched there is a R/W legacy, but there are bugs like keyboard/trackpad not working, and hard to install.

    so i decided to try to port one, this bios is based on dell 5400 windows version, i am testing this bios for a week now an found only a little to no bug at all in windows 10, or only a minor issue
    in windows 11 sound driver compatibility, but overall its ok, for me i can deal with it, 😅😅😅...

    🛠️ 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

    Need Custom BIOS (UEFI/Dualboot) for Lenovo Chromebook 100e Gen 3
    by GuiTi
    Hey everyone!
    I need help with my Lenovo Chromebook 100e Gen 3.
    Here are the details:
    • Motherboard: LA-L131P
    • MFG Date: 2022/01/07
    • MTM: 82J80001BR
    • MO: MPNXB2103001
    • Factory ID: LI123

    I bought a new Winbond 25Q128FVSG chip.
    The chip currently on the board is the same model but with different ending letters.
    I can’t use the CH341 clip on the chip that’s on the board because it’s too low-profile and doesn’t make proper contact.

    The Chromebook is Google account locked, and I’ve already tried everything.
    I understand that I need to replace or...

    [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
    by cr4zychriss
    Hello everyone,
    I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
    I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details

    • MB: MB: GK5MP5X V1.0 Prod :GK5MRFV10T04201310281

    ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
    by pirati
    Hello everyone,

    I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

    When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

    I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...
