                          I guess there is no jumper solution on this board.
                          Maybe someone can help.

                          Thanks!​

                              post merged..next time look for a thread with the name and model, motherboard model of the laptop, and post there, if you can't find it, then make a new thread..

                                                  by Wahaz
                                                  Hello,

                                                  I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                                                  So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                                                  I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....
                                                  10-30-2023, 08:42 PM

                                                  My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
                                                  1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
                                                  2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
                                                  3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this

                                                  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

                                                  Hi, I was hoping osmeone could help me with this.

                                                  I have a Lenovo Thinkbook G2 I bought on ebay and I was hoping to enable vrtualization to run WSL but there is a BIOS password lock on it.

                                                  The serial number is PF37TGLV and the MTM is 20YN0000CD. I downloaded and backed up the BIOS using Universal BIOS Backup Toolkit 2.0

                                                  I have attached a copy here:
