So? Restore it from backup you made before flashing it.

Oh. You didn't make a backup.
Then get another same model laptop and read chip contents from it and restore on your laptop.
haha i know im an idiot i just didnt think i would need the backup becuase i thought it was a bios chip and it was corrupted so no need to backup :(
