Bios B updating

Just to make sure
for bios B updating
EDIT: Does Bios B update automatically on Z77 M Power or do you
run the special flash tool and when its loaded and sitting on the RED coloured DOS screen ready for you to make selection 2 to update bios you then switch the motherboard switch from bios 1 to bios 2 correct?
then follow thru with flash procedures
after with the computer shut off you can move the selection switch back to bios 1

Figured it out
all done and successful

Can not access BIOS after update BIOS

Can not access BIOS after update X220 BIOS to version 1.19

Ask google and try anyway but not work
- Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
- Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
- Try to update BIOS again

That is really weird.
When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

Where does HP BIOS flash update tool save old BIOS backup by default

Where does this HP BIOS flash update tool save old BIOS backup by default ?

I think the gpu has failed again, if the bios was dead you would get no beeps, it is the bios that generates the hardware failure beeps.
Home brew reflows generally do not last too long or can cause more damage.
The reason the gpu comes loose on most of that vintage was due to 2 problems
1. Overheating
2. Poor quality solder used when the gpu and other motherboard components were flowed at the factory.
Reflowing it does not always work because of the quality of the ball solder they used, also you only get one reflow attempt, doing more than one weakens the original solder even more. Most likely the seller reflowed it shortly before selling it to you.
Proper repair is what is called a reball (solder replacement) of the gpu, not may repair facilities have the equipment to performed this, and is usually expensive procedure depending on the motherboard design.

"BIOS ME update....file not found " since a P67A-GD65 bios update failed

Hi everyone,
I've decided to post this little message after looking for a solution over the web and over the MSI forum because I've got a problem since the BIOS update of my P67A-GD65 MB.
I've followed the update process for the 4.32 BIOS using an USB key, the update started but did not continue after reboot, and since My PC is out of order
The "BIOS ME update....file not found " message is displayed after lots of booting tries, using plenty of methods.
I've looked and tried all the techniques I could find over the web, I've tried :
-PC with and without SATA drives connected
-the last 4 versions of the bios found on-line, even the original version of my MB before updating (1.19)
-4 different usb keys (from 128 Mb to 4 GB)
-all front and back usb ports
Each time, on each usb key, there were several bios versions, even one renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM for testing the recovery method.
I've also tried to make the keys bootable by using the “MSIHQ USB Bootable” tool with the 1.19 bios (after the boot fix), the usb key appears in the F11 boot menu but when I select it, the PC boots but still shows me the "BIOS ME update....file not found " message.
I've also tried a clear CMOS with several power off.
I've also tried to burn a CD containing only a AMIBOOT.ROM file, and to boot on it, but same problem occurs.
In brief, it seems that my PC does not recognize my Key's content, whatever it is.
I've you got an idea to help me ?
Last precision, the update process that failed was using the 4.3 bios version, but my CPU is a not an IvyBridge .
thanks for your help

HI
I've tried with your file , that's better but not solved
the "BIOS ME update....file not found" has gone but my bios is still inacessible.
I put the usb key (with the decompressed file) and the PC starts, displays the MSI boot logo, and then shows a message for hitting F1 or F2 bla bla bla...
Whatever the key that has been hit (F1 or F2, and only the first time), the pc boots again and again after displaying the boot logo, followed by a 30 seconds black screen.
If I remove the key, I've got a message that says I have to put a key on an usb port, and when I put back the usb key , the PC starts to boot again and again.
Once again , I'm stuck.
thanks for your help

Any idea?

Interesting... perhaps this is handled some how by mkinitcpio? I didn't see anything obvious in the hooks section.
progandy wrote:Edit: You can download the microcode data here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Search … crocode%22
This gives the same file that [extra]/intel-ucode uses, but neither the source nor the package provides "GenuineIntel.bin" mentioned in the document.
EDIT: If the info contained in the blog post you referenced is indeed accurate, I fail to see what value the intel-ucore packages provides at all. In other words, it loads the updates after the kernel has already disabled the features the updates are fixing. Seems as though either:
1) The package provides superfluous files.
2) It needs to generate a modified initrc image as described in the early-microcode.txt file you referenced.
3) We are wrong and the package does indeed provide a solution.

BIOS Flash Update Utility "Failed to Read BIOS"

As the title says.
The computer has been flakey on startup recently, so I want to update the BIOS.
I run the Thinkpad BIOS Flash Update Utility on my Thinkpad Yoga, it returns an error saying "failed to read the BOS".
Can anyone suggest a work around?

I am told that the update burn down the motherboard looks like a serious update
those who are going to do a bios update should think twice... I have done it a million times before.. never had a problem.
the worst part : I have a 160GB intel ssd that I bought to use with the new w510 is sitting idle on my desk.
ABOVE ALL , I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE WARRENTY SERVICE TO REPLACE THE PARTS AND SEND IT BACK TO ME...
I can't believe that I am going through this.. I am like a handycapped these days.
I ordered this laptop three months ago when it was introduced, by the time I ordered it went out of stock... I had to wait three whole months to get the laptop. I didn't even use it.

BIOS flash update to W510 = dead laptop

Hi ...
I just did an update to the BIOS flash that is given in the updates section of w510 ( windows utility ) upon sucessful update it asked for restart. Nothing happens just black screen. If I press 'Power ON" then it checks the capslock and some other lights but nothing on the screen, then it restarts itself a coupleof times then the thrid time it just stay on powered... CPU fan is running like crazy.
Brand new laptop... got it yesterday... was installing win7 ultimate and then installed drivers from lenovo site and on BIOS flash update "BOOM"
Is there anything I can do now to make it run again, or do I have to go and give it to the tech support guys ??

IdeaPad U310 touch: Can no longer enter bios after updating to latest version

I flashed to the latest U310 bios (http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/65cn99ww.exe). I switched to "legacy boot mode" (from UEFI), in an attempt to workaround a driver issue. Now, I'm no longer able to enter BIOS whatsoever. There are plenty of forum posts by many users hitting the same or similar issues on U310/U410/U330 and similar ideapad products. But the resolutions where they exists are either invalid, or involve flashing to 65cn99ww.exe, which is not possible.
[Environment]
Lenovo IdeaPad U310 touch, Windows 8 (also tried Windows 8.1)
[What I did]
Flashed BIOS using official Lenovo bits (65cn99ww.exe). No errors occured
Enter BIOS afterwards and change to legacy boot mode (from UEFI)
[Problem]
Cannot enter BIOS to view or change any settings.
[Debugging]
Try to enter BIOS by key button sequence.
1. Tried the following combinations during bootup: F2, Fn+Fn, F10, Fn+F10, F1, Fn+F1, 'B', 'N', Fn+'B', Fn+'N', Delete, Esc.
==> No change in behaviour. I tried each many times in case the timing is important.
2. Boot by Novo button. This brings up a menu, which includes an entry to enter BIOS. However, choosing that menu entry boots to Windows
3. Reboot to UEFI firmware settings from Windows (Settings/General/Advanced/UEFI). I can choose to boot to UEFI settings, but ultimately, just boots to Windows 8.
4. Try to reflash BIOS. Fails with error 182: Version less than or equal. So reflash fails
5. Try to reflash old BIOS. Flashing fails
6. Unplug battery from motherboard for 1 minute. No difference in behavior
7. Boot with SATA disconnected.
8. Try various flashing options and alternate ways to flash. Not successful
[Conclusion - BIOS is faulty]
I think this problem can be solved easily with a slightly newer variant of the BIOS being officially released by Lenovo. If someone from Lenovo is reading, can you please open an internal case on this.
Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions from the community. Does anyone know how I can hex edit the bios version #.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

All,
When I navigate to the U310T (touch) on the support site, I'm not finding a BIOS update.
It may be that we have removed it. The U310 (non-touch) does still show BIOS 65 available here for Windows 8/8.1 and BIOS 21 on the same page for Windows 7.
Is it possible that you have a touch model and applied the non-touch BIOS?

BIOS & Driver updates

I am having some gaming issues and it has been suggested that I check my motherboard BIOS and Drivers for updates. I have a KM3M-V board. I have run the MSI LiveUpdate program and it tells me that there are BIOS and Driver updates available. However, I read Dr. Stu's sticky about flashing the BIOS and it has me a bit worried. How can I tell what a version does (I see the description but I don't totally understand it) and if it will really help or not? I am terrified of something going wrong and messing up my computer.

The issue I am having is with RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 w/Wet and Wild Expansion Packs. Specifically the issues are since the second expansion (wild). Initially there were a couple of issues, but updates to my memory, video and sound cards has greatly improved the speed and fps issues. The remaining issue is that the game just suddenly exits itself in the middle of play. More info, including a current dxdiag file, can be found here: http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=508104 and here http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=508301.

HP 15-D035DX new BIOS version update F,19A,14,1M

I have a HP 15-D035DX with pre-installed windows 8.1 all updates have been done up to this point. The HP support assitant had a BIOS update F,19A,14,1M release date 11/11/2014 that i downloaded and ran without any problems but i notice that in system information it shows BIOS F,19, dated 10/7/2014. Im wondering if i need to just leave it and not try to update it again since i have no start-up problems.

Hi,
Thankyou for your response, i see the latest available BIOS for this unit is version F.19A 11/11/2014
Click here to update BIOS: BIOS update
Try to redownload and reinstall the update from the above mentioned site. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6841...
After the installation is completed the NB will restart automatically.
Go to run command (win+R) type msinfo32 and click ok you will be able to see the BIOS version.
If the HPSA is giving any update you can cancel it since you have done it manually

Toshiba Satellite L730-120 Bios flash update.

I have just got my Satellite today and was updating the Toshiba drivers and tried to install a new bios update. I ran the program and the laptop restarted and has gone to a blank screen, power light on, and nothing. This was 10 min ago and stills no change. What should I do? It said not to turn it off.

Just to let you all know. I tried to turn the laptop off at the power button and no luck. So I tuck the battery out and unhooked the power to shut it down. Powered up and started in safe mode ok. What is it with flash updating had it brick a router and a net book

Can anybody explain what "Updated the ACPI SLIC table" means in the new released BIOS update for Toshiba Qosmio x505? That explanation is really vague.
