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

I saw [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/GatewayUSA/comments/mf7yyf/gateway_gwtn1563bk_bios_crossflash_to_enable/"]ON REDDIT[/URL] 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.Yes, I have. Same result: Battery charge flashes and that's it.

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....

[FONT=Courier New]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 ([URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubleshooting-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-laptops-tablets-and-mobile-devices/bios-requests-only/3164026-need-bios-for-gateway-gwtn156-3bk"]post 1[/URL] and [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubleshooting-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-laptops-tablets-and-mobile-devices/bios-requests-only/3264382-avell-a62-liv"]post...

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 [U][B]BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED.[/B][/U] 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.[LIST=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.[*]I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked.

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!...
