Did you erase in all 3 different apps first?
You should not get error bout disagreement anywa
Although your is 17 and my , motheroard the same try to flash my bios
Picking chip type, select BV in the end

Why do it in three applications ?
I don’t get it what do you mean ?
You use on application at the time …

If the bios is good …
it was erased filled with 000 FF then reprogrammed then read new bios shows up and verified that the chip is the same size the file provided …
why pc won’t boot btw all connector are set two fans, battery, CMOs , keyboard audio …
That the thing I’d don’t understand with bricked bios fans where spinning and blancs screen now it will not start at all ? Shortage ? The is a special connector for the start button on the laptop iam kind of lost I won’t restart this evening full dissembly this evening iam bored :expressionless:

You need to flash bios and get passed verification, this is a must

No matter what was shortened or not, dump must be flashed and read and matches

It was done buddy …

I had error with disagreeing using wrong ver, you can find it in the beginning of the thread
Your laptop is alive just need to be flashed

I spent the whole day on it iam sure 100% that the bios have been flashed I saw hundred of video about it on the net …
Nowhere dude people where using three app at the same time to do the job if you know what I mean I just want to troubleshoot the fact I’m the laptop is not switching on …
Booting it is a another question !
Bios also …
Corrupted or empty bios don’t Block your laptop from switching on if iam clear …

Thank you for help anyway I will try to trouble shoot the booting problem …

Flash my bios (I shared it recently for someone in this thread) and make sure it passed verification

Think I understood it was the keyboard pcb connector with the mobo connector that was damaged earlier so now keyboard is dead …
The ZiF connector I forced yesterday …
That it not bios related at all …

Don’t guess just flash it from post #279

I don’t guess iam doing troubleshooting is use my brain I will not reflash if it is simply the keyboard which is dead … Mate come on :slight_smile:
I use my brain I broke the connector yesterday … ok :ok_hand:t2:
now not working …
Will try your dump tomorrow iam done with this for today good evening buddy :slight_smile:
