    BIOS Request: MSI Raider GE68 HX 14VGG-287US (Board: MS-15M2) - No POST

    Hello everyone,
    I'm requesting a working BIOS dump for my MSI laptop, which I plan to provide to a repair technician.
    Make/Model: MSI Raider GE68 HX 14VGG-287US Board Model: MS-15M2 (Note: I have the serial number ready to be provided to the technician for DMI transfer)
    Problem Description: The laptop fails to POST. The only sign of life is the GPU fan spinning up after a couple of minutes. The screen remains black.
    Background / Fault Event: The system was working perfectly. The issue occurred immediately after entering the BIOS advanced menu and exiting with "Discard Changes". No settings were modified.
    Troubleshooting Steps Performed (All Failed): I have followed all standard software and hardware recovery guides without success (USB recovery with Ctrl+Home, EC reset, battery disconnection, RAM isolation). The evidence strongly points to a corrupt BIOS/EC firmware that requires direct SPI chip flashing.
    My Situation: I do not have a programmer myself, so I cannot provide my original corrupt BIOS dump at this time. I am currently looking for a qualified technician to perform the service.
    My goal is to obtain a known-good, working BIOS dump for the MS-15M2 board beforehand. This will allow the technician to immediately proceed with the repair, including backing up my original firmware, transferring the DMI/serial number, performing a "Clean ME" on the new dump, and then flashing the chip.
    Could anyone please share a verified BIOS file for this model?
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    I say let the technician handle the whole thing because he's a technician... he knows what he's doing...
    plus you have to post the contents of the bios chip even if it is corrupted..
    Due to a lack of donations, server free space at a critical level, and possible closure of Bios Requests all donations are welcome, click:

      Hello Peste,
      Thank you for your reply and for sharing your experience. I understand and completely respect the forum's rules and the "tech-to-tech" assistance model.
      Please allow me to clarify my situation, as I believe my initial post may have been misleading.
      My goal is not to perform the repair myself, nor is it to simply collect files. My situation is more complex:
      I have already sent this laptop to the most reputable and specialized repair lab in my state. After analyzing the board, they returned the device to me, stating that they could not complete the repair due to a lack of specific resources for this new platform (MS-15M2) – namely, a verified working BIOS dump and the board's schematic.
      I am now in a difficult position. I am trying to avoid wasting time and money by shipping this high-value laptop from one technician to another across the country, only to be told the same thing again.
      My research here is a pre-qualification step. I am simply trying to confirm that the necessary resources (a working dump file) actually exist within the community before I engage and ship my laptop to another top-tier technician.
      I was just trying to ensure that a solution is even possible before starting the logistical process all over again.
      Thank you for your understanding.

      Given this context, and since you are a key member of this "tech-to-tech" community, perhaps you could point me in the right direction? I am struggling to find a technician who is confident they have these resources.
      I am not asking for a personal recommendation, but if you know of any reputable members or professional shops who are active here and known to handle these new MSI platforms, that information would solve my entire problem. It would allow me to follow your advice perfectly by shipping the device to a qualified professional who is already "inside" the community.
      Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
      Best regards,
      Edward.
