    820-00165 2017 emc 3178 bios

    Hi

    Original bios damaged and could not be read. I've tried a few 820-00165 but they all either boot to black screen or get stuck on loading bar. I wonder if there is a difference between 2015 & 2017 bios? Anyone got a clean 2017 bios I can try?

    thanks for the help

    2015 and 2017 are the same. EFI must have a clean ME region, otherwise it'll cause the symptoms you are seeing.
    If you cannot find a good clean ME one, post one that at least shows Apple logo.

                              Hello,
                              Thank you PESTE, it works fine, sorry for the late response.
                              I have a question, with the corrupted bios, the mac starts with the apple logo even if the SSD has been cleaned. Normally, we must have the file flashing.

                                          HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb

                                          Hello everybody!

                                          To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

                                          The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...

                                          🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
                                          by macabook
                                          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. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
                                          🧩 Initial Issue
                                          • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
                                          • External display (HDMI) shows
                                          ...

                                          [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
                                          by cr4zychriss
                                          Hello everyone,
                                          I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
                                          I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details

                                          Dell Latitude 5530 BIOS Password Removal Attempted but I Broke the Laptop
                                          by TopPop
                                          Sorry for the long story. I have a Dell Latitude 5530 (i7) laptop (South Peak 15 MLK MB DDR4 203102-1 FK8VG$JA) with an admin BIOS password that I want to remove. Service Tag: HYKFPT3. Other than that the laptop worked OK.

                                          I found a CH341A Black and went looking for the BIOS chip on the motherboard. After trying to read one chip that was a firmware chip but not the BIOS I think I found the BIOS chip labeled Winbond 25Q256JVEN. Altogether I think I found 4 different firmware chips in the laptop. The BIOS chip is a WSON8 6x8. I used the CH341A, NeoProgrammer, and a cheap pogo pin clip...

                                          ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS

                                          Hello everyone,

                                          I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

                                          When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

                                          I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...
