    Hello! I got an aw 17 R5 which is an engeneering sample. It has a hexacore cpu with 0000 model. Laptop always runs fans on max speed and the light always blinks and changes colors. I tried to flash dump from a regular aw 17 r5 but after flashing it gives CPU error and laptop does not boot. I think that in regular bios dump is no information about 0000 cpu and it cant detect it. Is there any possible way to glue two dumps together and get a stable working laptop? Thank for any help!

    Did it boot before you flashed it? Also where on earth did you get one of those? Pics?
