@svl7 - I was helping a friend flash his laptop (a G53SX) with a modified bios he made. The flash was successful, but while in the bios menu, a setting was saved, and now his laptop will not boot (it just flashes the lights and loops). We tried disassembling it and clearing the bios by pulling the CMOS battery and draining the power, but it still will not boot. He's already ordered a buspirate so we can repair it, and I was wondering if you knew of a good guide or helpful information for this. My hardware knowledge is mainly soldering and BGA / Micro-BGA re-balling, so I'm not used to having to recover from a bad flash, and have only flashed NANDs in the past. Any advice or tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

I just flashed the bios (221) on the first post and can confirm it is not updated; the core is still locked at 850, with a max overclock with turbo boost at 1085.
