Hello.

Bios or EC chip got corrupted during reading as the programmer let out the infamous magic smoke (accident when using external 3.3vdc). Used another programmer to read the chips afterwards successfully with same MD5 hashes returned.
I have no idea which one got corrupted. Caps Lock light blinks slowly for a short amount of time during boot.
