Thank you both, I appreciate your time and effort. You could delete the other thread. I think @Lost_N_BIOS knows about the specific case and he will help when he has a chance.

@xkwas - see post #75 on page #5

@Lost_N_BIOS I flashed the nvme.bin using fpt.exe (dos) - it was looking good until the last row, where the error 204 came up. I rebooted the system and now the PC starts and turns off like 3 seconds later :(. I have made a backup using fpt of the existing working bios tho (working keyboard, unlocked bios / SMI). That is working.bin. Do I need to get the programmer involved again?

@xkwas - Yes, I assume 204 error would happen, but sorry I forgot to tell you that you have to flash back stock BIOS region dump after that before rebooting (via FPT or AFU). Very sorry I forgot to mention, was in too big of a hurry when I typed out that comment about 204!

Yes, you will need to program in BIOS again now, it's bricked. Here, program this in, this is full BIOS created with the BIOS I sent you (NVME2.bin), if that fails after programmer, program in Back2Base.bin (This is your working FTP dumped region, without NVME Mod).
If you have to use the Back2Base file above, then once you are running again, then use AFU to flash in the original NVME BIOS I sent you (with commands I mentioned on previous page).
I hate use of AFU for this reason, among many others, it often causes this issue when trying to do future flashes in a correct manner, that's why I always try to avoid having you guys use AFU

Step 1 worked (NVME2.bin) - computer starts and I can detect PATA SS (An indication of successful NVME Insert Mod?), keyboard backlight also works. Big thanks for bringing the PC back to life again :) On A side note - I forgot to disconnect the BIOS battery and performed all erase-blank check-write-verify steps with bios battery + main battery connected (oops). For a moment I freaked out, but apparently everything works now.
Here comes another challenge - I am trying to install a fresh Windows 10 on drive C: (970 PRO NVME) as bootable. Installation would not let me select that partition, because of the following error:

Is the problem really BIOS related now, or I am missing some workaround to that?
Thanks for the help, again @Lost_N_BIOS and @Fernando

@xkwas - Great to see NVME & Backlit KB again It's OK about the power/battery, some need it and some don't, those that don't it's OK to have connected still (easier to short that way, but OK)
Make sure all other drives are removed (Except the NVME and USB you install from). Make the USB initialized as GPT, then put your install media on there. Then install to NVME that is either RAW or already GPT & without any partitions. Set Secure Boot Disabled + CSM Enabled

Sorry for delay on menu unlock BIOS, we had company over past few days so I haven't had much time to play online
Will get back on this shortly

UEFI bios, Secure boot off and CSM Enabled is the combination to get that OS running. I had to do a fresh install, because my old backup wouldn't work for some reason on the NVME. From clicking the power button to loading Windows it's now ~10 seconds, even with the PCIE Gen 2.0 speed limitation :)
Thanks to @Lost_N_BIOS and @Fernando for your support!

Yes, it's tricky to do a clone from non-NVME to SSD, but you can do it. Happy to hear you finally have Windows installed on NVME now! How long was your boot times before?
Sorry, I've been behind past several days, so haven't had a chance to get BIOS made for you yet But don't worry i did not forget

@xkwas - Send me one more FPT BIOS region dump for now, that way when I do your menu edit, it will be on the exact BIOS region you are using now

I'd say the boot times (also considering the fresh windows install) are about 2x faster now (old boot drive was a Samsung 850 Evo SSD).
Here is the latest biosdump.bin (hopefully with the unloced SMI / Bios.

@xkwas - Very nice boot times then Why "hopefully" w/ BIOS/SMI lock disabled? You can confirm by dump/flash with FPT and see if you get error or not, if not then it's unlocked

You could have just said you confirmed OK, moving forward with unlock now, thanks for putting up with me all this time
* Edit - Sorry, please show me image of Security >> Secure Boot Menu (What's inside there on your end)

@xkwas - Also - please test, on boot page, can you now see CSM Parameters submenu? If yes, show me image of what you can see inside

Hello, I have had the same problem as you. 40% flash erease using afuwin64, because the g751 restarted suddenly.
Do you still have the Ebay Bios Chip dump? I want to flash this one with the programmer.. Would be nice to hear from you.
Many Thanks

In advance Christian
