Fixed it w/ bios rom file and c341a programmer.
"I have seen screenshots of the insides of the 14" Intel models and some have dual cooling fans." Maybe those screenshots have the second fan part #.
fark Walmart.
These things are definitely not cheap...lol.. but at least now, I can carry one charger for everything.
I'm not having any issues with the laptop, so I'm wondering if there is any point in updating these? Also, is there any point in updating the BIOS? I'm having no issues of slowdown, and I don't want to screw up anything by updating. What does everyone recommend?
I have Windows up to date, and have installed the latest AMD drivers from the AMD site.

As for the BIOS, I haven't updated yet. I'm waiting for a BIOS that doesn't have any issues (1.05 and 1.06 both seem to have problems -- 1.06 seems to disable the TPM and change the model to M141).

The only weird issue i have is that if i do 10 windows restarts, i would catch it in a state where it goes to the restarting blue screen but then never progess to the bios boot screen. shutdown and sleep enter and awake works fine. no crash whatsoever unless i do stupid things like running too many programs causing out of memory.
Make sure it's not running anything that constantly taxing the cpu in the background. a lot of browsers like chrome also uses a lot of cpu when browsing heavy contents.
I get a little over 5 hrs with low brightness setting and using battery saver setting enabled on plane trips.
I ended up reverting to a previous driver (https://www.amd.com/en/support/previous-drivers/apu/amd-ryzen-processors/amd-ryzen-5-mobile-processors-radeon-vega-graphics/amd-ryzen-5-3500u ), the last Adrenaline 2019 release. Supposedly you can fix the issue by resetting the software to defaults or doing a clean install...

I've seen directions on the first page Wiki on how to update the BIOS. However, have you personally found any better way to updating it (for later when a better BIOS shows up) with clear instructions?
Also, I haven't gotten that BIOS update screen from THX that everyone keeps reporting. Not even a single time. What is up with that? My model is the M142 (with 8 GB RAM).

As for the automatic bios update I'm not sure why you're not seeing it. You could try manually running the updater (it's in program files\THX) as update-thx.exe I think...but I personally disabled it.
