Don't fuck around with hidden UEFI settings unless you have a proper external flasher to fix it. I just bricked my main work laptop because I was messing with memory speeds and didn't realize it's stored in nonvolatile flash. Since memory training happens and fails before I can access the menu and fails, I can't reset it. I did get 5200 MT/s up from 4800 stable doe, but 5300 did noting and 5600 bricked it. The chips are rated for 6400 but the memory controller of my CPU is only rated for 5200. Once my chinkshit CH341A comes in, I'll update you on other things I try. I'm planning on neutering the ME and overclocking the iGPU. Hopefully I can just enable being able to do it in userspace

When are you livestreaming your suicide?

They put the flash chip under the CPU heatsink and I don't have any thermal paste besides liquid metal. I don't have any conformal coating or solder mask

suicide is a permanent, this is a superfluous matter, do not do it

It sounds like you need to commit suicide. Don’t listen to that other guy, suicide is the answer to all your problems

First picrel is the front of the board. The boxed chip in picrel 2 is what I thought the BIOS chip was, but turned out to be the EC after it read as 1MB instead of 32. The BIOS was actually not under the heatsink but on the back of the board, which is picrel 3. The chip is picrel 4. Its surface mount, so my clip doesn't work. Trust me I tried everything to get it to fit on the solder blobs on the edges, including modifying the clip, but it wouldn't work. I tried soldering to the test points but ripped off two of the pads immediately. I think I'm fucked. Streaming my suicide in 30 minutes

I kid you not, with the heatsink on, all you can see is
>…6_MB_V3
Which I understandably thought was "16_MB_V3" or something. Fuck Asus. They didn't make the BIOS reset after so many fail memory trainings, or check a flashdrive for a new image, or make holding the power button with or without the battery or charger plugged in, or anything else. They are niggers. Big stinky niggers

Recommended me repair shops that will fix my botch

raisin computer care about or something

 β„–43809[Quote]

I've done some thinking, and I think I can fix it myself. Its only 2 traces and I can just bridge them with a wire strand. After that, I think I might order a SOP8 chip instead of the WSON8 one it has now and a new clip because I destroyed the one that came with the programmer. I'll solder the old chip to the PCB that came with the programmer, read it, sub the NVRAM section with a stock one, then flash it to the SOP8. All of this because I changed a 4800 to 5600 in a menu btw

These traces are microscopic and I don't have the tools to do it. There's no way I don't monkey it up. But I just know some nigger repair shop is going to charge $200 for this shit. What should I do? This is making me sad. I just want my laptop back

 β„–43825[Quote]

Alright transistors, here is my plan
>ask them to read the bios chip and fix the traces
>have them give me the binary, then splice a stock NVRAM section into it
>ask them to flash it for me
That or I could just have them only fix the traces if possible and wait for a proper pogo pin probe to come in but I don't want to do this anymore mayne. Idk if they will remove the chip or not

Tsmt. GentooGODs always have a dist kernel and firmware blobs on standby because they're aryan

How do I fix my pc? It is not booting after I played with the RAM. Power comes on but nothing on the screen. Help need

 β„–43998[Quote]

>>43980
Do you mean settings or physically swapping it? And is it a laptop or desktop? If it was settings, try resetting the CMOS

Physical ram on my laptop. I was bored so I opened it up but when I put it back together it fails to boot

>>44006
Just reseat it and make sure its fully inserted

 β„–44119[Quote]

I forgot to take my SSD out before giving it to the repair shop like a retard. I gave them the mobo but they said they needed the chassis to for some reason

 β„–44120[Quote]

>>44119
I told them just to see if they could fix the traces, pull the BIOS for me, and flash a new one that I make based on it, no of which involves powering the thing on. My guess is the tech thinks I'm retarded and wants to see if he can reset it and needs a way to test it
