Hello all. Only my second post.

I have a panasonic CF-20C5142VM which was booting to bios with no issues. I needed to add an ssd that was not initially being recognized by the bios. Found a link that suggested that I disable uefi mode and clear keys then to reboot to allow bios to now see New ssd. After restarting, screen is entirely black with no image. Found another post that suggested unplugging bios battery because some remnants of the bios may still exist in other parts of board but did not fix issue-screen is still black.
Anyone run across something like this before?...

Hello all. I've been researching this as well as other forums for the past few weeks and this is my first posting. Good to be around knowledgeable individuals.

Based on that research, I now have an EZP2019+ programmer and am attempting to clear the password on a locked bios chip.

About 2/3's of the research I have done is showing the bios chip to be closest to the memory modules (MXIC- MX 25L6406E) while about 1/3 are showing the bios chip to be on the other side of that board as a winbond 26X40BVNIG)

I have attempted to read the winbond while in circuit...

Hello All-glad I found this forum to expand knowledge for those that seek it. I did a lot of board level repair and troubleshooting in college about 20 years ago but definitely need to bring those stills up to current standards-Hence I am here to learn and to help others if i can.
