Bios needed, Dell E5550, Tag FSFB262, Zam80 La-911P Rev.1

by re1nhold
Hello Guys

I'm currently fixing two different Dell latitudes,
I need a E5550 BIOS - SERVICE TAG is: FSFB262

So far I flashed about 6 BIOS from this forum already,
none worked,
only fan spin ~3s, LCD black, keyboard LED on/off ok,
I tried manual extraction with scripts for ages so to speak. VM is untried yet.
This laptop is not burnt, it seems to just have a corrupted BIOS.
I extra baught ram. This has to work friends.

Do you generate it this way in Windows in CMD?:
Code:
```
E5550A24.exe /writeromfile C:\bios.fd
```

MSI GF63 12UDX-234XPT - MS-16R81 VER:2.0 - Schematic needed

by camisao

Hello,
I need your help finding the MSI GF63 12UDX (Board MS-16R81 VER_2.0) schematic.
I accidently inserted MSI USB a programmer that was connected to a board that has Neutral tied to GND, instead of connecting it to the USB-ISO that was on another port (Friday afternoon mistakes....).
Now it doesn't start. 😏
I've looked for burned parts but found none.
The 20V from the adapter are ok and the battery has 12V if I disconnect the battery plug.
I need the schematic to try to understand where there the problem may be or if it is repairable.
Thanks!...
