I used AFUWINX64 to first copy my bios and it was a success then I flashed the same rom I just copied using the parameters /p /b /n ( afuwinx64 old.rom /p /b /n ) it also said success but wont boot and I see no video at all I am trying to determine if I need to use aptio4 or aptioV When I was bootable I had the AMI splash screen pop up with Version 2.17.1249 Copyright 2020 American Megatrends T8U Ver:1.0 bios date 7/2/2020 press del or esc but when I ran the Motherboard ID Tool it just showed up as Aptio v1.00 is there a way to recover and what actual firmware do I have
wmic doesn't report the baseboard mfg. It does show the product as T3 MRD Its a mini PC the back of the case says wintel box - manufacturer acepc electronics i now have multiple units so tried the second one with aptio 4 and aptio V the aptio 4 is not compatible with this version so that answers my initial question of what version to use. (Aptio V) I then tried again and it saves the rom successfully but i cant restore the bios at all it errors out as soon as it starts i was looking at changing the splash screen but haven't been able to try yet. I am able to pull the splash.jpg out of the rom and its dimensions are 1920x1080
