Did it work? What device and program did you use?...

The link still works. It might have been offline when you tried. Try again or try another browser. Also, I don't know if you can use the same bios as mine. 🤷‍♂️...

Bump.

Also, I'm having trouble opening this page. 9 times out of 10, this page won't open and says to contact system admins... 🤷‍♂️

Yes, I have. Same result: Battery charge flashes and that's it.

I saw ON REDDIT that you could use the bios from a XMG Core 15 (TongFang GK5MR0O), but it is only 13,312kb and the Bios file from my laptop and posted on BadCaps is 16,384kb. Maybe that can help you?

I cannot find the stock bios anywhere. Gateway doesn't even have the file on their site....

I misunderstood the rules and thought it meant DON'T ADD YOUR ISSUES TO SOMEONE ELSE'S ISSUES, especially a two year old thread. Also, this thread didn't fix their problem.

Thank you for any help though....

When plugged in the laptop battery charging light flashes, and that's the only sign of life. No screen backlight and no fans.

I flashed all of the fix attempts on this site (post 1 and post 2) with no improvement, except the one from this post (by volinakis). Now if I hold the power button down for a few seconds, both fans spin for a split second and turn off. No other signs of life.

I cant find any official bios on Gateway website.

I found a post on reddit where someone found that the bios for the same hardware, but with XMG Core 15 branding, worked. I don't...

BRO!!! It worked the first time!! I've had this bricked craptop for ages and just found it. I wanted to try one more time to get it running and I failed. You're the GOAT!!! THX

PS: You don't have to, but I'd really like to know how you did what you did. Thx...

So sorry.

MODEL: Lenovo Ideapad 1 14ADA05
TYPE: 82GW001CUS
S/N: R912XLMJ
MOBO: S150ADA MB / 19877-1 / 448.0M302.0011 (I don't know which info you needed.)
MOBO Lenovo P/N: 5B20Z26469...

First off, I saw the other thread, but that seems to be a different version (same model though), because I tried all of the linked bioses and none work. They actually cause the laptop to do nothing. At least when I use the bad bios, lights come on. (charging light, power button light, and caps lock light), but no screen.

Another thing is that the bios has a different name (Old thread has "e8cn36ww" and mine is "fqcn31ww") and the BIN in this thread (below) are 8mb, and the CAP file that I get is 16mb (after using innextract 1.9). I don't know how to get the BIN...

Did I do something wrong?

Or is this a lost cause?

TIA

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

...

Noobish part-time pc guy. I flashed my first bios to a bricked system some months ago and felt on top of the world! Here trying to get help to do it again!...
