Type-C port issue – Need help!

[qboy]

I need help from the forum.  Could someone please post a close-up picture of the circuit board, zooming in to the area near the Type-C port?

I have opened the case for EEPROM BIOS programming to revive my bricked Hibook.  Now it is revived but when I plugged in a Type-C->USB3.0 hub, it can only recognize USB2.0 device but failed to recognize any USB3.0 device.

So I took a look at the circuit board near that Type-C port.  I think I might have knocked out 1 or 2 surface-mount components in that area, when I opened the case.

Please refer to the attached picture.  For the 2 red circles, I don’t see any surface-mount components at the solder contacts there.  Please provide a close-up picture in that area.

Don’t worry, you did not knick anything off, rhe usb-c port just doesn’t provide usb 3.0 connectivity just 2.0

Can you share what you did to reprogram the bios chip?

thanks.

Thanks for the Woo Wei Xiang and intrax for checking and replies.

intrax, I have provided the bios programming comments in this thread:

I still don’t know what’s wrong with the Type-C port of my Hibook.  My Type-C->USB3.0 hub just won’t recognize any USB3.0 devices.  I tested the hub on my brother’s Hi10plus and it works fine without issue.  It also issues an error message of “Unknown  USB Device (Port Reset failed)” under device manager when I plug in a USB2 device (but the USB2 device works OK).
Does any one of you in the forum know which chip(s) on the motherboard control the Type-C port?  I want to see if I knock off any component there by accident.
