Dear colleagues,

I kindly request your help on unlocking the BIOS options of my laptop.
It has a Ryzen 5900hx and Insyde BIOS.
Unfortunately the manufacturer has not released any firmware file yet for this laptop so I can only provide BIOS dumps if you could let me know the best procedure to do so.
I have used H2OUVE GUI and have seen there are quite some menu options to unlock.
Please find attached the file results after using BACKUP_Tools.
Could you please advise?
Many thanks

Backup tools are barely works for AMD. I need your bios dump actually to point you how it can be unlocked, or you may just try your luck searching for "Setup Menu Insyde Full Show" setting in H2OUVE.

@Sweet Kitten
Thanks. I can provide the BIOS dump. Can you let me know what's the best procedure for doing that? A dump using Dump BIOS ROM from H2OUVE GUI would be ok?

Also, please find below what I have discovered so far using H2OUVE GUI 64:
- Using the load runtime option from H2OUVE's File menu, seems I have access to my present BIOS menus by clicking on the Setup option and also all I can click on the Variables option and see a whole bunch of variables
- Seems as if I could make some menus visible as by the Setup Menu Full Show here as per the attached image:

Is it worth trying this option? Which process should I follow?

Many thanks for the support

Apologies, newby mistakes.
Edit:
After some struggle they forum has allowed me to post the dump. Please find bios dump
I have used the BIOS dump option from H2OUVE menu.
Many thanks

@JessCT
JessCT.zip. Download, run "SET VARS.bat" and reboot to BIOS.

Many thanks, will try it ASAP.

@Sweet Kitten
Many thanks for your kind support. The variables mod worked flawlessly.
Now the problem I have is that I couldn't find a setting for configuring the memory voltage to 1.35 v (I bought new memory modules from Crucial that require this voltage).
Do you know (or any of our forum colleagues) if that kind of setting is possible on Insyde BIOS for laptops?
Now my system is not booting because I tried to increase the memory speed setting without incrementing the voltage so I understand I'll have to open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery unless anyone knows other possible method to reset the BIOS config.
Again many thanks

@Sweet Kitten
A new update. After CMOS reset (battery CMOS disconnect) system is again working ok.
I finally found the setting for RAM voltage which on this BIOS is VDDIO and also VDDP may have an influence. Now VDDIO is 1.35 and VDDP is 0.950 and system is booting correctly with the JEDEC memory settings at 2666 Mhz.
Now problem is any modification I do on memory timings, causes the system to hang and not being capable booting into BIOS and hence forcing a CMOS reset.
Even modifications made to relax timings even more cause the hang. For instance, keeping JEDEC settings of 2666 Mhz and CAS 19, I relax the CAS to 20, the systems hangs on boot which leads me to think there's some issue with the memory training even when making timings more relaxed.
Does anyone have experience on this?
Many thanks and regards

Dear friend,
Thanks for rising this wonderful topic.
I got this A7 X1 two month ago, the only thing I complained is it's bios.
It is too shallow, only a few options we can select.
And most importantly, it seems not supporting S3 sleeping, but only go S1 which means only the monitor gets turned off. Also in Windows control panel there's few power options, we can not choose max or minimum speed.
You posted you could now unlock some of the bios options, how it goes with the problem? Can you upload the new bios files and let us know how to install it, please? Many thanks.
