Asus Gl553VW turn on no windows boot

Re: Asus Gl553VW turn on no windows boot

I forgot 1 step for the basic checks. Power up the laptop with the keyboard disconnected from MB (short pins 25+26 on keyboard connector to power on). I know it may sound silly but a faulty keyboard can also cause shutdown issues.

Other than that, all voltages seem ok and as pointed out by @piernov, +VCCGT behaviour may be normal in this case and it will kick in only when demanded.

What I would try now is to backup the ROM and flash another known good BIOS. Try flashing the original BIOS IC first and in case it doesn't work, flash BIOS to a fresh new IC.

Make sure the BIOS IC and your programmer are compatible before proceeding.

i tried without keyboard/mouse plugged out. No difference.

I just used ch341a programmer and first backedup the original bios. its 8mb.
if i download the new bios from asus website and extract with uefipatch its 6mb.
with version 304 laptop wont boot anymore. same with version 306.
i put back original bios and works. stil shutdown on windows loading.
mmm thats kinda weird!?


Edit: found a 8mb original flash. flashed it and stil same issue, shutdown on windows loading.

i have a new winbond chip stil here wich i wil try tomorrow.
I hounestly dont think that wud solve the problem tho

what is there else we can look for ? do u think the cpu is broken ?

Re: Asus Gl553VW turn on no windows boot

you tried booting a live system yet ?or tried installing from usb ?

Re: Asus Gl553VW turn on no windows boot

Yes. You need to flash a full BIOS image... and no, I don't think CPU is broken.

I did some research and I found that auto shutdown is a common issue for ROG laptops due to CPU throttling.

Do you have voltage settings in BIOS?

Re: Asus Gl553VW turn on no windows boot

Ok. If you have a full BIOS dump I can take a look in the advanced settings.

Ok. I'll look into it.

Is this BIOS text mode or it has graphical interface as the picture attached?

Flash this one and check if there is CPU Configuration in Advanced Settings.

thanks again i flashed this bios on it, no settings for advanced or cpu.

i managed to boot into windows tho, for the first time! it seems if the laptop is off for a couple ours it can stay on a bit longer. Once in windows after 2 minutes it shutted down again. There is something with the power delivery. this is a fact.
the question is what cud it be? il be looking in boardview in a moment to see what al delivers/controls the power. i think the problem lays there. super i/o? power management control chips ? thanks!

Re: Asus Gl553VW turn on no windows boot

its only u3101 (EMBEDDED CONTR IT8176FN-56A/BX
PEGA/0638-0077000 ITE QFN-48 ) and u3001 (C.S IT8587E/FX LQFP128
ITE EMBEDDED CONTROLLER ) i gues ?

i wil let the caps drain from the vccgt rail. i think if their empty 0.0v and i startup the computer boots further. once their loaded the computer shuts down on loading screen from windows. il post in a bit to make sure this is the case or not.

EDIT: ah makes no difference

If you are able to boot OS then you can try undervolt CPU via software to check if it's related to CPU throttling.

Here's a guide:

In future please put all bios requests in the "Bios requests ONLY!" section - https://www.badcaps.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=40 .That way the main laptop forum won`t turn to shit again with umpteen bios requests and dumps. Thank you
