Your file gives me 5 beeps - pause - 5 beeps, similar to how my own patches did.
Here's what I do:
1. Connect the chip, read it in AsProgrammer, verify; if everything's ok, open provided .bin file and unprotect -> erase -> program -> verify.
2. Once it finished flashing, remove the programmer from the board and plug in a power source (using an internal battery rn) and try to power on.

After that I use "Unprotect-> erase -> program -> verify" button to write the modified BIOS back to the chip. After that I try to boot but it gives the beeps. I also use Python 3.11 for running the...
