    I just joined the community. I happen to stumble on this website because I was looking every where for a solution to fix my GT70 20C.

    I installed the wrong bios and now I'm completely screwed. I tried everything, and nothing seems to work. Out of desperation I jumped the cmons while the laptop was on, I did that twice.

    I was wondering if your method of 30sec reset, removing the cmons, and applying 2.2 Rufus would be a good idea to try. I also want to say I appreciate your guide, and that the current Rufus app has been updated and looks different from your guide. When setting up Rufus do we set Boot Selection to " non bootable" ? I apologize for all the questions and I know it's not cool being new to community. I'm just desperate to find a solution to recover my bios from the black screen.

    Just a little info of my situation: I have no idea what my bios was before, I saw some guy on you tube upgrading his bios and I thought that would be cool project. Black screen, fans work, tried multiple times amibot.rom ( crtl and home) , cleared cmons like 10 different times, I haven't found a guide for cmons disassembly for my laptop yet, which is my next step.
    I appreciate any feedback.

    thank you, but i have pretty much given up on trying to flash bios. I think my keyboard might be deactivated or maybe something else. I'm just going to SPI clip - So far I have completely disassembled the MOBO and I think I found the bios chip but need to be sure and check online. I will be buying the tools next.

    Do a full read of the chip first and make sure it's an 8 mbit chip. If it's 1 mbit, that's the wrong chip. Or you can match the BIOS size of the download from the MSI site to the approximate size of the "raw" dump you would get when reading with the flasher and the Pomona 5250 clip (assuming you're using the high quality Pomona clip and male to female jumper cables to hook the clip to the flasher, and not some crappy chinese pre-built clip)

    Hello
    I'm using the gt73vr 6rf model.
    I recently purchased and installed the Crucial ballistix 3200 cl16 32gb (16x2) xmp memory.
    However, if you try xmp, it won't boot and we are currently using the auto-overclock option (?) of 2800 cl16 1.2v (tm5 test was error-free for about 10 hours).

    Bios is the latest E17A1IMS.10E.
    Just in case, I tried E17A1IMS 106 version, but the xmp setting didn't work.

    I guess the bios can't adjust the RAM voltage.

    Press alt + control + shift +f2 to set the voltage to 1.35 in the memory overclock item in the hidden menu, but it is fixed to 1.2 when it enters again.

    Has anyone experienced this kind of problem?

    I don't know if this problem will be solved through Bios Unlock.

    Thank you.

    small chance try use RU "variable offset" ?
    but here is more problems - OLD HW "officially 2133mhz" and missing others for XMP - VCCIO / SA voltage "for full tune"

    or try MSI forum "custom bios request topic " @Svet" send results !!
    but i tested to many times similar UNLOCKS requests ..,and I didn't get anything :mad:

    edit .,.,
    or all "others" for ram setup - SA DOMAIN ,.,.any incompatible SETUP here ?
    for your CPU + more RAM on this speed - better single rank
    35gb/s or 37.5gb/s max cpu access here "intel data"

    at least I think so 2x fast dual rank memory "around 2800" real maximum + OC CPU "+ring"
    2933 + SA offset "+50mV" - CL 17-19-x-x ?? this not works for you ???

    hi friends
    its possitible in var-offset "via RU" switch on admin access ?
    or is possible find or decode access keys for bios access levels :D

    MSI is OK .,.,but i need unlock my HP/ASUS/ACER or any others devices "safe way"
    or var-offset map vs RU is possible way for setup device.

    but I've been wondering where the boot key is stored or boot combo key.

    edit
    .,,uses someone only var-offsets to configure the laptop ???
    and bad config - cmos reset revert all to defaults "safe mod way ?"

    thanks for any info :p
