No worries I found the USB boot program and instruction and I am now running my nvme and wow what a boost! It was so worth it! My desktop is up in like 15 secs and everything runs amazingly fast. It's a new computer that rivals any new PC, except for gaming. This I expected and knew when I bought it. A 6 year old computer is reborn and a joy to use!!!!

,.,.nvme boot problem ??
bad boot UEFI/CSM.,or sata controler AHCI/RST or drivers "AHCI/RST or special for NVME",.,.or FW on NVME
ME fw I think not?

for ME ,.,you must firs read information from current ME fw
HWINFO/MAINBOARD/ ME fw

last lines "image type ,.SKU,.lock status"

ME flash is RIKS! for a full brick or not fully working notebook !!!
compare or sent information from current state

I got into a situation with an bricked motherboard. Who used ch341a for recovery, please share your experience. I used a clothespin and neoprogrammer, but the chip is detected incorrectly or does not respond at all. Do I have to supply power to the board?

hi! Check my posts in the thread, i've got into a same situation. You should use a specific version of the neoprogrammer to flash this correctly.

Hello, @BigMax! I've checked all the posts in this thread. The devil is in the details. Have you modified the programmer?

Hi everyone. If I understood you guys are talking about flashing a bios to repair it from a bad flash? what I need is a bios that will detect my NVME drive that is not detected in the bios. Only windows detects it once you boot the primary SSD with Windows. Does anyone have a link to a bios with instructions to get this drive to appear in the bios? The reason I ask is I believe my USB thumb drive I am using with with DUET software may not work with Windows 11. I believe I may have problems installing Windows 11 with the thumb drive boot loader (DUET) because it wont detect the Windows 11 install after the first reboot. I tried it with the beta versions of 11 and it wasn't visible to choose and continue the install. Does anyone have a flash to enhance the bios?

@alexsp - you have to plug the power cord to be able to flash the chip. Don't start it, just plug the cord - you should see an led coming up on the board.
