[Problem] Bricked ACER PREDATOR HELIOS 300 PH317-52 BIOS

Well on windows update it downloaded something called synde firmware or something like that and I thought I passed over the name “synde” or something similar while googling on details about my bios etc.

Anyway I am afraid I need to burden you a lil longer if you find free time and are able to help then you are more than welcome to do so :slight_smile:

So I looked a little bit into how to unlock the OC options and found this:

OneOf Prompt: "Overclocking Lock", Help: "Enable/Disable Overclocking Lock (BIT 20) in FLEX_RATIO(194) MSR ", QuestionFlags: 0x10, QuestionId: 0x167, VarStoreId: 0x3, VarOffset: 0xDA, Flags: 0x10, Size: 8, Min: 0x0, Max: 0x1, Step: 0x0
			OneOfOption Option: "Disabled" Value: 0, Default, MfgDefault
			OneOfOption Option: "Enabled" Value: 1
		End 
	End 

Which is located in this partof my bios

Bios region> EfiFirrmwareFileSystemGuid>1FD0BACE-6F0A-4085-901E-F6210385CB6F>Volume image section>EfiFirmwareFileSystem2Guid>SetupUtility/PE32 image section at header-offset 55CA2h

And I think it shows the “coordinates” of the flag to enable the Overclocking in my bios but I cant figure out where it points… since you are a master in binary spaghetti I wonder if you know which bit to change given the above info :smiley:
