BIOS Flash recovery

[Blacktape]

It's really frustrating to me to have a new BIOS update, or a new model of laptop to flash, and for some reason or other, the flash goes badly and the system is bricked. The only recourse is to get it reprogrammed by sager, since it won't boot.  I know there are chip programmers, but I know they have methods of flashing the BIOS, ME, and EC without removing the chips from the board. Are they using the Debug connector to do this? is it possible that I could get the specifications needed to recover the BIOS in the same way? What kind of Programmer interface would I need, and what would the pin-out be for the appropriate connector?   Right now I am working with the  P775TM1-G, P650HP6-G, p650HS-G and P955HR (physical variant of P950HR).

I just found the Service manual for the P95xHR, I'm not certain how much different that is from the HS. Use with discretion.

Sorry, I think I might have misread yuour model number the first time. You can access/download the P650HS Service manual (with schematics) from https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1269646/Clevo-P650hs.html
