Picked up FA617NS laptop from bin 😀
Have situation were it fails to boot windows/linux for random set of times and then boots and works like nothing happened.
You can shutdown it and then if it powers on via fast start it works, but if you reboot it boot loops is here again.
Changed thermal paste with pads, changed ssd, changed memory
Battery are in bad shape, but disconnecting connection it changes nothing.
Noticed that when it lags, it does not react to power button correctly and sometimes lags in bios.
Decided to reflash bios, to see, maybe this helps.
Read dump with EZP2023+ programmer via 1.8V converter with chip still soldered on board with clip.
Bios chip here is Winbond W25R256JWEQ
What confuses me, that first part of dump file is FF till address 0009100 address where some data starts.
Should i try different hardware? or solder resistors in WP/Hold pins? desolder chip from pcb?
Can be bios source of boot loops?
