    .FD BIOS file for AN515-56

    I’m trying to recover my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-56, which currently has a corrupted BIOS and won’t boot. I’ve searched Acer’s website and all I can find is the official BIOS update .exe file.

    Inside that .exe, I managed to extract a file called abobios.bin, but there is no .FD file available — the one needed for Acer Crisis Recovery.

    I’m looking for someone who has the original .FD BIOS file for this exact model, or any guidance on how to extract it safely from the official update.

          I tried doing a bios crisis recovery (FN+ESC+POWER) with a usb that only had abobios.bin and nothing happened. Fans max speed and black screen for over 20minutes (USB activity LED solid not blinking).

              Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e 2H1703-27220F Rev. A Marked as U2501 on the motherboard.

              Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

              Hello everyone,

              I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

              This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

              I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

              Bricked Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 Need BIOS file for FN+R Crisis recovery

              S/N: PF2BZS7D

              I was having issues with this particular laptop where the NVME SSD would disappear and would not detect unless I took it out and reconnected it, then it would detect for only for a minute then disappear from BIOS. I figured updating the BIOS was worth a try so I booted into my HBCD USB and downloaded the latest BIOS file for that exact model. I ran the executable and everything went smooth, it beeped and then when it restarted, now it won't post, just black screen with fan spinning.

              I already have a CH341A programmer...

              NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
              by Citymin
              Hi all,

              My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
              The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
              When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
              (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

              NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
              PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC

              Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
              by m1ch43lzm
              Hi everyone
              I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
              Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

              Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
              There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...

              Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
              by Forest79
              Hello,

              I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
              The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

              However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...
