Hey everyone, I have trouble with my XMG laptop's mainboard from Schenker technologies: Board Information Manufacturer: NB02 Product Name: GMxNGxx Version: Standard Serial Number: Standard Asset Tag: Standard. Just now, I accidentally flashed the wrong EC firmware. Turns out, there were only problems with the lid device, meaning when the battery isn't full, the screen doesn't stay on (ACPI: button: The lid device is not compliant to SW_LID.). -> The incorrect EC was just a single file, version EC-1.23.61. -> The right EC comes along with the current BIOS, version EC-1.30.xx Unfortunately, my BIOS still shows the old EC version, even though I had recently flashed the new one. The BIOS itself did get updated to the new version. The manufacturer doesn't reply to me. My search for other sources for the mainboard didn't work well. Does anyone know what to do?
