Hey,
I have a 2022 Ionico 17.3" with i9 12900H and RTX3070Ti and I noticed that Secure Boot is disabled and was wondering whether I should enable it. I'm a little reticent because the last time I changed a security setting in the bios it bricked my laptop - lights would come on but nothing would change and the laptop would turn itself off after a couple of minutes. Tried resetting the CMOS but no luck so had to RMA it (assuming it was a corrupted BIOS and that it needed reflashing but either that wasn't the case or PCS couldn't reflash it because they ended up swapping out the motherboard and I got a little bump up from the i7 I originally bought to the i9).
Is Secure Boot important enough to take the risk? Thought it was "required" with Win 11 anyway?
Also I turned it on the other morning and during posting it played a little tune - kinda a mix between morse code and a tune, not just a simple beep code. It did it once more but hasn't done it since (probably because I've been trying to video it - sods law of course).
Anyone had their TongFang play a tune at them or ever heard of any TongFang post codes?
Thanks in advance.
