Update (expired thread) = BSOD / ROM image / MSI
Hi guys!
Long time, no see - I've been quietly tinkering to rule out all options for fixing. My original thread is here:
BSOD with ROM Layout mismatch detected
In a nutshell, BSOD claim is 'ROM image not loaded / ROM image update denied'. I get various error codes, mostly for critical service failed.
I've tried: all boot options, changing MSI configurations, flushing/ BIOS update, reset button (MSI bottom button), rolling back updates, all other standard BSOD Win/fix steps, cross-checking using cmd (all files / drivers are intact, no errors or damaged files), Memtest (no errors), using Rufus/USB (cannot bypass system to access loaded Windows to back up files..).
So at this point I got 2 conclusions: there is no internal (software) damage & there is no way to load up Windows in whatever mode (to back-up files, then re-install windows..).
The only other thing I have not tried - and this may be MSI-specific, is this: MSI GL65 Leopard Laptop Repair/Cleaning/Upgrade Back Panel opening || Techbunny - YouTube apparently careful disassembly of the shell, dusting & wire-connection checking/re-connecting, could solve it..
Before I do this - has anyone experience? Or a suggestion what else I could try before doing it?
Please, please help or suggest. Where I'm at in the middle of nowhere, I cannot access IT help even if I tried.. I'm stuck with DIY solutions.
