I have a LA-G07EP REV 2.0 which i am trying to get going.
The board came to me from a from a few repair places and the bios chip was not on the board a few capacitors removed.
I had a rev1 donor board which i could get missing parts and the bios chip from.
The board powers up with the 5.3 caps lock , which according to hp website means "The embedded controller times out waiting for the BIOS."
I have tried a few bios version posted here and on vinafix with not much luck.
I havent been able to flash the ec chip because my rt80h came with missing keyboard connector and flex cables, its going to be another month until those arrive.
I have 4 more bios version to try from #13 , since i dont the original bios i cant upload a backup to verify the build number which would makes things a little easier.
I guess my question is this
Has anyone managed to get a laptop working with a 5.3 issues by flashing bios and ec ?
What are the chances that it is actually a cpu problem ? i suspect this because when you leave the laptop on for a few minutes blinking, the cpu gets warm but the fan never starts up to cool it down, the fan works fine because it starts up when you power up the laptop and stops after a few seconds.
I am considering moving the KB9022 chip from my rev donor board to this board but not sure if that will change anything.
