🌐 History : While installing the Windows update in Windows 8.1, system shutdown in midway abruptly due to low battery which resulted in this no gui issue in bios and Windows OS.
📌 Problem Report: Micromax Laptab LT666W (Intel Atom Z3735F, Bay Trail-T).
• Device: Micromax Laptab LT666W
• Platform: Intel Atom Z3735F (Bay Trail-T, 32-bit UEFI firmware)
• Graphics: Integrated Intel HD Graphics (Gen7, VBIOS embedded in system firmware)
• Default Operating System : Windows 8.1
• Upgradable Operating System : Windows 10
–
🔎 Issue Summary.
• Device powers on with backlight but no GUI is shown:
• BIOS setup screen is invisible (keyboard shortcuts seem to work, but no display).
• Windows OS GUI also does not appear, even though the OS seems to start in the background.
• This suggests a possible VBIOS corruption or graphics initialization failure at the firmware level.

📂 Firmware Files Collected.
• From official Micromax LT666W Windows 10 upgrade package, the following were found:
- bios1.rom, bios4.rom
- fw_random-number.bin
- mib.bin
~ System-side files in System32 and WinSxS related to firmware update agents.
~ It is unclear whether these constitute a complete BIOS dump or only partial update modules.
-–
❓ Key Questions.
1. Are the above bios*.rom and fw.bin files are full BIOS images or delta updates?
2. Can these be unified into one flashable BIOS package for SPI programmer recovery?
3. If VBIOS is corrupted:
- Is there a way to extract the VBIOS region and repair/replace it?
- Would flashing only VBIOS fix the issue, or must the entire BIOS be reflashed?
4. Which Intel tools (FPT, AFUWIN, UEFITool) are recommended for Bay Trail-T (Atom Z3735F) to:
- Extract Bios
- Rebuild BIOS
- Flash BIOS safely?
5. If only update files are present, how can we reconstruct a complete BIOS suitable for SPI programming?
-–
⚠️ Current Limitation.
• The Laptab does not respond to standard boot keys (USB/DVD) — possibly because the VBIOS fails before UEFI/boot logo stage.
• Thus, external SPI programming may be the only recovery path.

👉 Requesting guidance from BIOS/firmware experts:
• Is there a known good BIOS dump for LT666W (Micromax Atom Z3735F)?
• Can the collected files be used to rebuild a working BIOS?
* What is the safest tool chain for Bay Trail firmware work?
* Is there anyway we can fix this issues, with softwares itself as much as possible without opening laptab and using spi programmer? I’m not into them and ever done it.
👉 If anyone able to extract Windows 10 upgrade firmware and get unified BIOS, kindly inform me, I’ll DM you with firmware, so we can get this done.
