   If anybody is reading this page because they want to update BIOS before completely removing Windows to have a tiny Linux machine, and EC 2.17 promises to fix touchscreen after wake up, my experience shows that EC 2.15 (which came with my device) works perfectly with Omarchy 3.5 (Arch Linux): everything works without any issues except screen rotation (easily configurable), middle mouse button (didn’t try to fix it yet) and fingerprint reader (no device detected). Touchscreen has no issues after wake up. I was afraid to install EC 2.17 after reading comments so removed Windows completely and left EC 2.15 version. Overall GPD MicroPC 2 is awesome with Linux.

   2.17 BIOS bricked my device as well.

      Many of our customers and ourselves have updated many using our own guide and have not run into any issues. If you downloaded it from GPD website then you may not have followed our guide. If you purchased it from us at GPD STORE, please contact our customer service at [email protected] with your order number and our customer service will be able to assist. If not, you would need to contact where you purchased it from.

   Mini PC 2 N300.

   I flashed the BIOS from Windows 11, 2.16 –> 2.17 downloaded from gpd.hk.
   The PC went into a BIOS screen and a 100 % write, then it restarted and I saw the BIOS boot screen.
   A second after the PC turned off and it’s bricked.
   It doesn’t charge the battery and it doesn’t have a power indicator. No amount of holding the power button or “reset pin” has any effect.
   Please fix the issue and remove the 2.17 BIOS from gpd.hk
   This is happening on a large scale

      We are not GPD.hk so you would need to speak to them about removing it from their site. Many of our customers and ourselves have updated many using our own guide and have not run into any issues. If you downloaded it from GPD website then you may not have followed our guide. If you purchased it from us at GPD STORE, please contact our customer service at [email protected] with your order number and our customer service will be able to assist.

   Thank you, Dave.
   I’ve tried long pressing the power button, and resetting by a pin, however, the power didn’t turn on.
   I will ask to repair to the dealer in Japan.
   Thanks.

   I had applied the 2.17 bios. PC had automatically rebooted and bios seemed to be updated. Then, the power had been down. After that, I could not turn on the PC’s power. Could anyone help me?

      Press and hold the power button for a few moments. It may take a little longer to boot than usual after a BIOS update. Also try pressing the reset button with a pin, hold it down for a moment, release and then press and hold the power button until it switched on.

   Hi Dave.

   Thank you for the info and the BIOS update file.
   For some reason I couldn’t get the GPD website file to work.
   The one I downloaded from your site worked well.
   HOWEVER my PC was locked by Bitlocker after upgrading the BIOS !
   Luckily I had the Bitlocker code and now everything is fine.
   Thanks again 🙂

      As the BIOS can update some hardware information between versions, it may cause Bitlocker to think something has changed and lock the system for security.

   Hi.

   Version 2.17 is now available but it seems to be corrupted.
   I had no problem installing 2.16.

      You need to enter the password “123” to extract the archive if you downloaded from GPD website. We have updated this page with v2.17 BIOS update, please download it from above and follow the updated guide to install it.

   To whom this may be useful: I followed this tutorial to update from BIOS version 2.13 to BIOS version 2.16.
   After the update, the “EC version” was still on 2.13. However, the “Project version” is on 2.16 and the “Build date and time” matches the date of version 2.16 in the file “BiosChanges..txt” – 2025-09-03.
   So I assume that the BIOS has been updated to 2.16, although the EC version is still on 2.13.
   This is contradictory to the statement on this site: “If you want to check the BIOS update has been applied, you can check in the BIOS menu under the EC Version number”.
   Go here and scroll down to see a screenshot of the BIOS screen after updating to 2.16:
