    Hi guys! I was messing around with a unlocked a11 bios and I always did that but after something went wrong I cleared the CMOS and everything went back to normal. But last weak I changed a memory value in the igfx section thinking that was for the amount of video memory but it wasn't!
    So my m17 turns on, restarts then turns on but shuts it down and after this nothing happen!
    I removed everything from the mobo and the beeps are working normally. Tried another cpu, one ram, no gpu but nothing change. So I tried to do a blind flash but it didn't work, it didnt changed the bios because the notebook won't restart and stay turned on all the time with the fan at full speed!

    Now, I have to buy a new mobo or I can save it changing the bios chip?
    Thanks for the help and sorry for my English, I from Brazil!
