Sorry, you don’t understand the concept. Expensive meaning durability and repairability was maybe the case a little earlier in the last century.
Today you got complete > 40.000$ vehicles stranded by f*#@ up firmware updates:

Hi there, I’m new to the forum and I also have some trouble with a Surface Pro 5. The problem is slightly different : lost touch capability after firmware update, but I think it might be related to this topic. I’m no expert for this kind of repair (I understand it’s not simple) but not a total newbie either (I was PHP developer before and like to manipulate electronics). I don’t want to waste anyone’s time, so my question is :
Could someone point me to a guide to repair the “firmware update” (or try to) or some kind of detailed steps so I can figure out where to start ?
Thanks
Please open your own thread, or maybe a mod may do this for you.
You need a dump of your firmware (CH341 programmer) in any case.
Regarding the touch: There was a possible fix posted at badcaps:

But if I remember correctly this didn’t work for all machines.

Tôi cũng gặp tình trạng lên logo window rồi tắt rồi lên rồi tắt lặp đi lặp lại . tôi có thử bios bạn đăng lên nhưng chỉ lên logo window và đứng im
English speaking forum.
If you have problems with a Surface I’d recommend starting your own thread.
(Google translate might be of help.)

Hello I’m new. I have an error with surface pro 5 M1007506-015 . The situation shows the window logo then turns off and the logo appears again then turns off continuously like that. I tried another bios, loaded it into the bios chip with ch341 and the window logo just stood still and nothing happened. Is it still a bios error or a hardware error? please help . would like to thank
Sorry for the confusion regarding a new thread, seems moderator doesn’t agree.
Please post / attach your dump / backup of the original bios / firmware.
Can you please look at this bios dump, the surface laptop 4 stays stuck on windows logo and does not boot / get into UEFI. Thanks
SL4-original-v1.zip (6.2 MB)
Completely different machine. MS doesn’t provide a full firmware image. You dump contains 2 a 100% identical (redundant?) UEFI volumes, the proprietary AMD stuff in padding, and an a little messy NVRAM.
=> Sorry, nothing obvious in static parts, looks more lit hardware to me. You could try with empty NVRAM and see if / what it writes again into NVRAM when trying to start up but I foubt that will help you any farther.
Surface Laptop model 1769
SN: 007127472557
Motherboard: M1029273-001
WIndows logo appear for few seconds in the loop and not booting Windows.
Please could you check my bios dump. Link below.
Many thanks.

I was able to download it and to upload the file as *.rar archive to my MEGA account.
>Here< is the download link.
Edit: The File and the MEGA link have meanwhile been removed, because they are not needed anymore.

Thanks @Fernando !
I can’t find anything speial, ME seems to be cleaned, as always the static bios consists of 4 duplicate efi volumes which are 100 identical- didn’t compare to stock, but both volumes havin the same error seems not very probable, the pair of paddings is identical, too.
NVRam has lots of free space and doesn’t look suspicious either…
