It's literally the worst support I've ever received from any business in any industry), and the fact that I use the machine quite a bit for work and is essential to the tasks I am assigned to makes the repair/RMA extremely time sensitive (I get the feeling that I would absolutely get the backburner because, hey, I already bought the thing, now I'm just being a post sales user and can be ignored). I am still covered under warranty (bought the machine 2/2015), but my concern is the amount of time they would spend repairing the unit and getting it back out to me (I've had extremely poor post support from my reseller to the tune of an ongoing ticket that I've followed up with their support departments about for 6 months to keep getting told they will respond to me via email and don't. I also don't get along with surface mount soldering.Р”Сћ.) submit for an RMA through my reseller. Besides that, I couldn't seem to find the location of the BIOS on the motherboard of the P377SM-A to save my life. I'm wary of this route due to the obvious high chance to cause more damage than harm.

I couldn't find any kind of debug or serial connection that I could solder to the board for target debugging to force flash, so if I'm to understand correctly, I'm left with two choices:Р”РЋ.) Desolder the BIOS from the mainboard, utilize an EEPROM programmer to flash the boot block back to a working state, and resolder the chip back on (I supposed I could just buy a pre flash chip, but it's the same concept). I have the left portion of the keyboard as purple and the middle and right as the soft white. Another thing of interest is my back light is no longer the soft white it was when the machine could boot. Oddly, I also get the LED indicator for the trackpad lighting up at times when it's in it's 'recovery flashing' state. I also get the pulsing of the fans as well as the power LED light (there's a pattern to the LED blinking. I confirmed that the issue isn't my GPU as it will push a splash screen on a P170HMx (it won't go further than that).

I'm at a total loss of even how to debug this issue as the BIOS is corrupt, but I have no video when booting (GTX 970M), but can get the backlight to light on the LCD if I pull the 970M and put a 675M in it's place. I've done all of the troubleshooting I could possibly think of including a multitude of BIOS images for the P377SM-A and renaming then every convention I could possibly think of.

Oddly enough, everything was smooth and had the v2 of Prema's P377SM-A image running for over a week before I reboot Windows (correctly) only to be met with these exact symptoms (they are to the T). If that doesn't change its FN+B behavior then you need to de-solder the BIOS chip and send it for re-programming (I may be able to help you with that). Remove the AC power, main Battery and BIOS battery and let it drain over night. Trying to boot with another CPU model may overwrite the messed up CPU values.Р”В®DIT: The system can not boot without CPU, but yes it may reset the BIOS values for the next boot, try it.Р”Р„t this point you could try to remove everything (SSD, wifi, one GPU) and only leave the CPU, one RAM stick and one GPU in there. Your system is unable to enter recovery mode.
