  1. I think I bricked my laptop. I could update just fine, except I couldn't flash the EC. I saw a post which said that it wouldn't be a problem so I just rebooted and could get into bios. I changed the boot device priority to boot from my SSD instead of HDD. I looked at a lot of settings but other than an undervolt of 10mV, I didn't change anything. Now when I rebooted, I get a black screen and the keyboard backlight turns on. Otherwise it's just nothing. I don't think the laptop boots into windows, as just typing the password and pressing enter (the sequence which should get me into windows) does not make any sounds. Therefore I don't think it's just the screen. So my summary is as follows: 1. Flashed modded 3.05, completed succesfully 2. Failed flashing of EC failed, and I just rebooted 3. Entered bios, changed boot device settings and an underclock of 10mV 4. Rebooted 5. Black screen, fan turns on and keyboard backlight turns on. Laptop responds to fn+space to change keyboard lighting and long-press of power button shuts down laptop. Laptop does not boot into windows. I'm right now searching for a few guides on resetting the bios. I read a bit about the contacts behind the RAM which should do something, but I'm having trouble refinding those posts. Any suggestions/quick fixes or things that I can check? Thanks! update: I tried to recover using the fn+r or fn+b recovery method, but to no avail. I ordered a new dual bios chip from amazon which I hope will arrive somewhere next week. I'll keep you posted. update 2: I switched the two bios chips around as suggested before. After this, the fan speeds up to max when turning on the laptop, the keyboard still responds to changes in keyboard lighting and beeps when removing/inserting the power plug. However, using the fn+r recovery method still doesn't work. Before the bios swap, the LED on the USB drive turns off after a few seconds, whereas after the swap it stays on. However, it doesn't blink, and I think that the flashing doesn't start. After about one minute, the laptop turns itself off. I tried this with two different USB sticks, both FAT and FAT32 formatted. I'm kinda lost about what to do now. I think I'll wait for the new BIOS chips to arrive.
  2. edit: I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. Sorry!
