Can someone please help?
latitude 5420 board LA-k491P bios problem.
-
Also, this is the one I tried that makes the laptop boot into Windows, with working nvme, fingerprint reader etc, but as I previously said, entering service tag and exiting manufacturing mode causes it to brick again: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...52#post1685652
What's worth noting, is that using this bios screen has some lines at the top and at the bottom, which looks like some timings/synchronization issue, because it reacts weirdly to changing resolution and the screen doesn't look like broken. On external display via hdmi it's ok.Comment

Dell Latitude 5420
Mother Board - GDF40 LA-K491P
Rev: 3.0(A02) 2021-04-28
S/T: 8MVS5M3
Bios update error , The current status is that there is a TPM error and the hard drive is not recognized. The BIOS versions on the forum either do not display anything or show the logo and then blink 3 amber and 6 white. Some BIOS versions disable the TPM error but still do not recognize the SSD. I am attaching the original BIOS and hope everyone can help.Attached Filesif you find these attachements useful please consider making a small donation to the site

by SathsulSo, i kinda spend significant ammount of the last couple of days trying to flash a new bios, and or unlocking the current bios password with little to no results.
The whole thing started with it being the 8fc8 bios, i found the tools to unlock that but i needed a bios dump. So i pursued that, im at a point where i dessoudered the chip, and succesfully soudered it to the ch341, dumped whatever was on it.
However, the tools supposed to unlock the 8fc8 say that there is no 8fc8 hex inside. And when i followed diffrent tutorials to just flash a new bios onto the chip i got stuck on the...-

by macabookHello 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
