Hey thanks for your input and ideas. I already checked everything under microscope no liquid, no clear signs of any damage. As u can see from the specs it is a recent laptop.
But ofcourse with very strange sickness behaviour that would appear only during the power on stage checks, as once it turns on it is a horse working machine and can work for days and days as long as I keep it in sleep mode after finish work and don't turn it off.
Since it is a recent laptop there is no available schematics, only bios and ec dumps online
I have already done a bios...

Do u think it could be the super I/o chip is faulty? Or bios chip. I am not sure which one of those 2 is responsible for the power on test...

Hey there, it is not possible to reseat the memory as it's soldered on the mainboard, it's gddram5 memory.
And since it's only 2 yo laptop I am kinda doubting if it's truly the memory and suspecting or hoping it's actually just corrupt bios....
