I’m getting a POST code 0x33 (BBGGBBGG)

B = Blue
G = Green
I think this is 0x33 which shows as [BDS_LEGACY_BOOT_EVENT] on This page

It doesn’t seem to boot, and displays nothing on screen. What does this actually mean?

I don’t think interpreting FW post codes is straightforward. Wish it was. When one reaches that point, contacting support is needed. At least, I don’t recall anyone being able to do anything with them without support.

I got the motherboard as a part of the mystery boxes. It seems sort of pointless to send them out with no info on the post codes

Well, there aren’t sensors on every single component and every connection. So there may just be a number of things that can cause a particular post code, and there wouldn’t be a way to make it completely straightforward.

They don’t call it mystery box for nothing. You’re getting your money’s worth:

  1. Not knowing what’s in the box.
  2. Not knowing if it’s going to work.
  3. If it’s not working, not knowing why it’s not working.

Not really helpful, I know.

I take it you’ve already attempted to reset the board, and that you’ve tried booting the board up without any NVMe storage, correct?

Yeah I’ve tried doing that.

Other than RAM, keyboard and display, do you have anything else plugged into the board?

Nothing. Just the keyboard cover. It does the same without it plugged in.
