I did "Override" and since then no picture or sound. I took out the CMOS battery and the battery and it was not connected to the network either. I put it together after 10 minutes, but there is no picture. Shortly after switching on, the keyboard turned blue and that was it. What can be done with this? Is the machine trash? 🙄🤔

And my BCLK is not 100, but only 99.8 and I don't know why!?

 

It is because your BCLK is in downspread mode and it is set to 50%. This is the default in almost all computers so that's why.

I have already solved it by rounding the value to 100.😉

How can this be fixed? Full BIOS reset? CMOS battery and laptop battery were removed and FN+D (20 sec) was also tried, but no result. No picture after power on. Keyboard RGB then changes to blue after 20-30 seconds and does nothing. Can this be fixed somehow?🤔😌

Bios chip reflash with CH341A programmer. You've bricked your bios.

But first try:

1. insert only one stick of ram in bottom lower slot.

2. Take out the CMOS battery plug, insert the main battery and start the laptop. It won't post.

3. Turn it off. Plug the CMOS battery in, insert the main battery and start again.

 

If this doesn't fix it - you have to open the laptop and manually reflash the bios chip with CH341A.

If you have Prema bios, you are gonna lose it.

Maybe somebody can fix the BIOS afterwards though.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out well. I did everything as you wrote.

This means only one thing…- you have to disassembly your laptop and flash your bios chip with a CH341A Programmer…

Yes. Looks like it will be needed. Original zTecpc Prema BIOS is saved fortunately. (you can even get off the machine if needed)
