Someone can help me?
I do not have much experience with this type of thing, but I'd check the bios if accessible, because it's sometimes as simple as an option that must be switched. If this doesn't work, I know that some companies make special software to reset the logos for specific models. It might also be worth investigating this page (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/bringup/boot-screen-components), which is about the BGRT, or this page (https://github.com/Metabolix/HackBGRT) a program that could fix this, but might also brick your computer.
