@connorsoliver I was wondering the same thing. I know we can download equivalents on our phones, but didn't think it was an option on the BIOS.

If your graphics card was failing would that show up in the diagnostics as well? This will be a great tool if you suspect hardware failure. As to the fake BIOS, if you make changes in the virtual environment will it show you a reflection of those changes?

Depends on the diagnostics. As external hardware, diagnostics of it tend to be more limited.

@Pete-S How long did you spend holding UV lights over those chips? Me = many hours, way to long.

Haha, spent a lot of time doing that. But I had an UV eraser which basically meant you could put it in and walk away.

I spend enough time doing it so I could immediately tell that the EPROM I posted a pic of above, is made by Texas Instruments (from the logo) and it's 256 kbit (from 27C256) so 32 kilobyte memory.

@scottalanmiller so then it's settled 🙂

Right, it is UEFI not EFI, and not an OS. Like I said.

Is it Windows 10 laptop?

Yes,.. the F2 and F12 keys do work, just very inconsistent results.

I always bounce between F2, F10, F11, F12, and DEL.... Jackhammer between them all until desired results achieved.

Jack hammer the needed keys.....
