Hi there,

I'm trying to following the suggestions @ https://www.flashrom.org/Laptops to revive this laptop.

Has anyone worked on this laptop before and was able to externally flash and recover from a corrupted BIOS. Current state is an endless loop of attached picture. We tried all the common troubleshooting steps like removing battery CMOS battery, hardware reset switch on mobo.

BIOS chip is https://www.mxic.com.tw/Lists/Datasheet/Attachments/7436/MX25U6473F,%201.8V,%2064Mb,%20v1.3.pdf

How do I find out what EC this laptop is using?

Would you encourage to let the laptop die and move on with more important things or would you encourage to try a revive? In other words am I wasting my time here or is there a pretty big chance that using a Pomona 5250 8-pin SOIC clip, the latest BIOS and flashrom will recover this device?

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards.
