GS70 bricked bios

Hello everyone,i need urgent help,i had a problem where i couldnt enter the bios or boot menu all it would show me was a white dash close to mid-screen, i tried to do what this post ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...uck-at-msi-screen.789775/page-3#post-10228157 ) recommended and it seemed okay untill i restarted - now all i get is a black screen and my keyboard lights up, nothing else happens, what can i do? I removed the cmos battery for 20 sec, then removed the main battery and held the power button for 15 sec without the charger and it still does the same black screen and nothing. If i dont fix this im gonna have to buy it from a client that gave it to me for repairs , and i dont want to spend 500 euros on a brick

 

Can you get it to display onto an external monitor?

 

no,plugged in hdmi to my tv and no signal on it, i also noticed the fans dont spin, the hdd does, and it seems the screen doesnt even light up hence why its not showing anything, the indicator LED's have no activity apart from hdd activity LED glowing for 1 second after i turn it on and then that goes out

 

You'll need to use a hardware programmer to reflash the BIOS.

So... you are a repair 'master' who went fixing a BIOS problem for payment without actually making a backup of the chip by a programmer?
You wanted to make money on it so why don't you want to take responsibility for risks you agreed to take? Even if You buy that programmer you still will need a working BIOS chip dump because downloadable file doesn't contain everything.

 

That does seem to be bricked and as Danishblunt mentioned that you need to have a SPI flasher to reflash the BIOS directly, otherwise you will have to send it to MSI for repair.

 

what about this? will soldering this onto the motherboard instead of the original one help?

 

I believe he *CAN* force flash the MSI bin file if its 8192K or whatever the SPI flash size is for the bios eeprom and the laptop will work, but all product name information will be lost, that is, windows keys, MSI hardware ID, basically most things in the SMBUS data. At best, this would definitely stop Dragon Center (if there is one for that model) from working properly.

This can be avoided by making a bios dump of the region first.
If the laptop is actually bootable, then the APTIO bios region can be dumped without a programmer (usually 6144K) with FPTW64 -d (name) -bios

 

if you dont have valuable input then shut up

 

i found a guy who will fix it for me, mods can now close this thread

 

He did give you valuable input. There's a reason he has 2000+reps and you have zero. So did I. You didn't even address anything I even said. Good luck with your repair.

 

He can use the hardware programmer to reflash a downloaded BIOS from MSI direcly, but I agree with you, someone who takes in customers and gets paid should not even mess up this bad to begin with.
