So are we to understand that you tried to reflash the bios and it did not work?

Here is a post that tells how to proceed if you have not tried to reflash it…

Hi

thank you for the link I’ve wanted to try that but wasnt sure how to get the FD files all I have are zq2_123.bin and zq2_123wph.

if the above doesnt work then I’d like to either replace the chip or use a bios reprogrammer to reflash the chip but cant find the bios chip on the board there are a few of the same looking chips and none are labelled.

Laptop is now working thanks
