I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password.

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.
