    Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings

    Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in one). This started immediately after saving the settings and exiting the bios. I disconnected the CMOS battery for the night, disconnected the charger and removed the battery. In the morning everything was connected back, the image is the same, distorted, then a black screen before the system starts loading. Under windows, the BIOS was updated from version 2.00L12 to version 2.00L14. With the new BIOS, the problem is the same. Please help solve this problem.

    the following parameters were changed:

    Above 4G Decoding from Disabled to Enabled.

    PCI Latency Timer from the minimum value to 64 or 128 bit.

    Specs. Core i5, DDR3 16Gb. SSD 120Gb.

    Model CF-53JWX1CFG old bios was v2.00L12 vafter update bios is v2.00L14

    Maybe someone has the same BIOS and can write instructions on how to change these parameters blindly or has the knowledge to correct the dump? Or is there a way to reset the BIOS, because I suspect that the battery only reset the basic parameters and the BIOS update did not change the settings in it.

      Panasonic toughbook CF53 generation 2 Model CF-53JWX1CFG Version 002 SERIAL 3JTYA26317 Motherboard CF53-2 AMI Bios V.200L14 Date 09\25\2018

      I haven't sorted out the laptop yet, because it's still a big deal to make a dump, maybe someone can tell me a blind method of changing the parameters in the BIOS. Or is there a firmware suitable for this model, then I'll immediately disassemble it, dismantle the BIOS chip to make a dump and immediately flash the sent firmware, maybe it will work? The BIOS is not password protected at the moment, the supervisor user is open.

        MotherBoard Panasonic CF53-2 Windows 10 64 bit is running on it now, I can also run it on Windows 7 32bit if that helps.

          Does this machine have a discrete GPU ?

            NO. Video is built into the processor. Everything is fine with the video, the Furmark test passes, it all started after changing the settings "Above 4G Decoding from Disabled to Enabled. and PCI Latency Time​" in the BIOS. Does anyone have a dump on PANASONIC CF53-2 MK2? Bios version v2.00L12 or v2.00L14 with disabled 4G decoding or can help with edit my bios dump? OR can make a photos of the menu structure with an item between "FAN DIAGNOSTICS"-"OPTIMAL KIT CONFIGURATION" and its structure, for blindly changing settings. Searches on YouTube, Panasonic's website and the Internet did not yield any results. The support service in the USA redirects to Europe, since the laptop is made for this market, Europe is silent. I would be very grateful for any help

                I need to completely disassemble the laptop, unsolder the EEPROM, and make a dump without knowing if anyone needs it. If someone confirms their willingness to help, I will make a dump. The blind method is the perfect solution or someone else's dump.

                  Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1 BIOS repair
                  by aa10aa10
                  Good day,

                  I have tried to remove BIOS supervisor password from Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1. Model number CF-33AENABTG, unfortunately I don't have any other info.

                  I read the BIOS using afuwin, edited it and tried to flash new edited BIOS using afuwin. Unsuccessfully. Afuwin showed "Error: Problem erasing flash." starting with 0x00040000 and stoped. Then I tried many other options to flash BIOS from Windows without any luck. Finally i rebooted the device - and no post. Afterwards I have read the corrupted bios chip (MX25L12873F) using EZP2010 programmer....

                  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...

                  Panasonic CF-20G0247VM BIOS Bad Flash Help
                  by James Jackson
                  I usually try to figure these things out on my own but am asking for help now as I have been beating my head against a wall.

                  Backstory, I initially ended up with a CF20 Mk2 with a locked BIOS. I used aptio to read the BIOS and made the adjustments to the .rom file and attempted to write it back with aptio before reading other users problems with that setup. Well it bricked the BIOS go figure. Computer no longer boots, black screen. I found a clean BIOS on this forum but now I am having ME issues. So I would rather hand over the aptio dump(pre BIOS brick) and a hardware reader dump(post...

                  Lenovo m90q gen 4 hidden BIOS settings.
                  by Hinkz
                  Hello All,

                  I recently upgraded my Lenovo m920q to a m90q gen4 (13th gen intel).

                  I had much success following some very helpful guides on unpacking the m920q BIOS that Lenovo had on their website to find out hidden options such as cfg lock & overclocking lock, then using grub to change these settings.

                  I'm having much less success with the m90q gen4 and latest BIOS on the Lenovo website (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/dow...tation-p3-tiny), when I unpack this BIOS and use UEFITool to browse its contents I can't seem...
