Please help my only laptop is boot looping

GhostBlood · April 20

So my beloved G14 has started boot looping. I have no idea why. It will sometimes get into windows, sometimes it will boot loop for an hour, and then get into windows and stay in windows 1-15 minutes and start boot looping again. It never boot loops if it’s in BIOS or if it’s in a blue windows repair or restart screen. Here is what I have tried so far.

1: re installing windows, it boot lopped during the process several times and I had to attempt the re install several times since it would corrupt

2: taking out the only removable stick of ram

3: new SSD

4: turning off almost all BIOS settings (this helped for a bit and then stopped working)

5: unplugged the battery and power drained it

6: hard and soft reset with the power button

7: repasting the entire freaking laptop

8: literally tore it down to bare bones and unplugged and replugged every zif connector and connecter in general possible.

9: running it off A/C power only with no battery

10: flashing BIOS to oldest version I could find (312) and almost every version in between to the newest one (319)

11: crying

NONE of these things worked! I’m at a loss right now and starting to panic this is my only laptop and it’s not in warranty and I do not know what to do. Model # is GA402RJ-G14.R96700. Currently left it on 319 and put it back together with new paste on all the VRMs, chipset, and vapor chamber. Still boot loops 8 times out of 10.

I do NOT understand why this won’t boot loop in BIOS or in the windows blue screen UI, but the fact that it doesn’t if anything just makes this more frustrating.
