My SSD is fine, my laptop motherboard is also fine.
I checked with 500 GB WD SSD , my motherboard boots into bios just fine.
I think my motherboard is either not able to provide enough power to my 1000 GB Orico SSD or my motherboard does not support such high capacity.
Anyways good news

I have used my ssd to read and write, and also checked for bad sectors on the same laptop, from booting to windows. All test passed.
I suspect my motherboard can only support 128 gb ssd, because the only place i have issue is bios.

And my bios/motherboard cannot handle such high capacity causing issues.
today i will def. check my laptop, after work though.
see ya!Leave a comment:

I think i have figured it out.
its my ssd.
If i remove my ssd, my bios boots up fine.
But my ssd is new.

How to verify if my ssd is faulty, or port or a compatibility issue?...Leave a comment:

Replaced my bios ic sucessfully.
from w25Q64 to 25L64.
My system still freezes when i press esc key to interrupt boot sequence. (To get into bios)
i.e. gets stuck at asus splash screen.
If i try get into bios using advanced startup options.
My pc still freezes but on a blank black display after asus splash screen.
I came across this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0YzSWBm-TQ
but since i only have one display, i donot know how this applies.
Sometimes(after i have not used my pc for some time) my pc will have issues...Leave a comment:

Does it have to be exact same bios chip?
i have mx25c6473f from a desktop motherboard.
Both are 64 mb.🤷♂️
This will be my segue into owning a hot air rework station.

Coin cell battery [C] =2.9 V
battery [B] = 50%
AC [A] = 19V
The output at pin 8 of bios chip after plugging each powersource and their combinations in order - first coin cell, then battery then ac.
See image.
resistance across r2802 and r2804 is 0.8, 0.6 ohms.
leads resistance 0.6 ohms.

I donot think the linux usb broke my bios.
windows installer USB(or any other usb) worked once(won't work again) only because it was the olny boot option available for my bios to boot into, now it won't as i have installed windows.
Since i cannot access bios, the the bios will keep using the default i.e. my windows on ssd.
Yes secure boot is/was disabled for sure.
Yeah, you guys are a laptop saver.Leave a comment:

Thank you!! Sephir0th m1ch43lzm It worked With conditions.
So as mentioned i needed to shift data between drives and install fresh windows on ssd.
After flashing the bios, the bios worked ok, i was able to boot into my live usb by selecting from boot menu.
After booting,
i just format my old windows partition.
Shift data around. Etc. (Now without the live usb i donot have any bootable drive, in my pc)
Since then, i was unable to acess the boot menu again.😥
I was still able to boot into windows installer usb because it was the only...Leave a comment:

After flashing the bios "https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3658240" i tried to do my first boot. ik, it takes time so i waited 30 mins
it got stuck at asus logo.
so i went back and shorted my cmos battery pins.
removed everything except keyboard, keyboard backlight, lcd, ac adapter.
the bios lit up. in 15 secs
so i went back AGAIN and inserted each cable one by one.
i narrowed it down to my trackpad.
so without only my trackpad connected
i booted into windows only to get boot device failure. -- i suspect this is because...Leave a comment:

done, done, done
i am using "fc /b" cmd utility.
there are 3 bios dump in my bios.zip. they are identical. they are also non empty
i compared my bios dump with the manufacturer's one using fc /b found several differences
one youtube video taught me that manufacturer provides bios in a capsule and we have to extract it using uefi tool.
i did that.
i also tried to read with uefi tool, my bios dump, it seems readable and similar to manufacturer's bios. but only in the bios section, so i cannot know for sure
is my manufacturer...Leave a comment:

how would i go about that?, mind you i am just starting to learn laptop repair.
i could not find schematic or boardviews for my board, how to find 5v lines.?
it may be significant to point out that i never had usb port problems. sometimes i did find out that my cables were faulty.
i think( correct me if i am wrong) we should focus on flashing bios.
if this doesnot work then i'll check for partial shorts. cuz i do not even know where to begin.
thank you for replying..
could you please check my biosdump- if the read was ok!...Leave a comment:
