    XMG Core17 Product ID: XCO17E20, Mainboard GK7MR0R_v1.1_10L bios

    I need BIOS for an XMG Core17 Product ID: XCO17E20, Mainboard GK7MR0R_v1.1_10L. When the power button is pressed, it flashes briefly and the device tries to start briefly, but goes off immediately. Battery is charging.
    I have tested the BIOS "Monster Tulpar T7 V20.2 Bios Dump" from the startrek post, but it does not work and the behavior is the same. Here is a backup from my device.
    Can anyone help me?

    I`ve moved your post to a new thread topic as your mainboard is a different revision. In the past XMG have used their own custom bios versions when they used Clevo motherboards, i`m not sure if their TongFang motherboard bios are stock or custom, but it would be wise to get the bios updates direct from XMG.

    Please post the laptop serial number, SNID or service tag with EVERY bios request ! It Must be Typed, not posted as a picture or part of the file name -> https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...before-posting

    Which GPU does yours have ?

      However, it is the same board version v1.1 PCH, CPU, GPU are the same. Should at least start with the BIOS. So I would know that the problem is with the BIOS. I don't know what to do with the device.
      How can I build a BIOS file from the manufacturer support files? After unpacking, there are three files:
      AfuEfix64.efi 549KB
      F.nsh 1KB
      GKxMP60xN115_xmg.rom 13.312KB
      My BIOS file has 16.384KB
      I also have to transfer my SN somehow. Do you have a tip for me on how to do this?
      I have posted the SN, this is in the filename.

          Dear friend. I respect the forum rules. I typed the serial number in my first post. See picture. This is in the name of the BIOS file.

            Try this bios, it has the new bios region merged. There is no DMI in the bios, it must be in the EC. If the laptop boots up OK, run the attached oemsevtool ,there`s a Text file in the folder that explains why you should run it.

              I think this is the DMI block. It looks like Samsung.

                I think you`re right my friend, i missed that. I don`t know what this is though, it`s not the serial number 1D051097R1110100 ? .Anyway, i`ve added it and edited my post with the new attachment.

                  It's my first time to work on XMG BIOS and I didn't find any website to check for the Serial Number. But I found the Model Number and ID there, so I though it's the DMI block. Also Samsung use the same keyword (BSA) for the DMI block.

                    I have updated the BIOS. The behavior is the same, the device doesn´t start. The behavior gave me an idea. I have read out the EC, see picture. However, I can see in the HEX editor that only the first few bits are present in the file and the rest is empty. I don't know what such a file should look like, but that seems a bit too little to me. I have read that the EC content is also present in the BIOS file. I also opened the BIOS file and searched for the content (ITE EC-V14.6) of my EC. I found the same content at address 007A73C0. There seems to be a lot more data from this address onwards. Could it be that the content of my EC is incorrect? If so, in which address range in the BIOS file is the content of the EC? Can I take it and program my EC with it? Left EC right BIOS image

                      If you search for All instances of "ITE EC-V14.6" youll see more. The EC will update itself at first boot from the bios.

                            I deleted the EC. After that, it no longer responded to pressing the power button. I read out the EC again and it was empty. The EC was not reprogrammed by the BIOS. I was also able to restore the contents of the EC. How can I check whether the EC is communicating with the BIOS chip? I was only able to measure voltages on the BIOS chip. Unfortunately I can't do anything with the values.
                            Pin1 3V3
                            Pin2 1V
                            Pin3 3V3
                            Pin7 3V3
                            Pin8 3V3
                            Can I measure it at all with a normal measuring device?
