Bios upgrade crashed

I upgraded my bios to the 2.X version that my msi monitor.
I told it to do a windows install.
The screen went black it rebooted and started to fast beep it is looking for floppy drive A:
I have no floppy drive A: only a dvd....
If I reset the cmos on the board will that take care of my problem?
If not what do I have to do to get my computer to run again??????????
Thanks,
Bret

reset CSMOS will not help. try make bootable diskette and copy flash utility and bios on it. also make autoexec.bat file and put into command line for automatic flashing. if this procedure fail you will need a hot flash bios chip. find the same mobo or the mobo which is using the same bios chip and re-flash it on it.wihthout turn off pc. change BIOS chips when pc is working. beware about BIOS chip orientation if its putted with wrong orientation on the pins BIOS chips will be a history..

G50-30 System is unstable after BIOS upgrade

After installing Windows 7 I decided to upgrade BIOS and picked the proposed update for Windows 7 64bit (http://support.lenovo.com/uu/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-30-notebook-lenovo).
After applying the upgrade system boot failed. This issue was fixed using yapha7's advice (see this thread: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-B-and-G-Series-Notebooks/Lenovo-G50-30-Bios-update-crashed-installed-win-7/m-p/1693051#M32265).
Well, OS boots. But now I can draw violet lines on a viewport by pressing two mouse buttons simultaneously. WLAN breaks periodically, gets fixed by a reconnection. CPU consumption increases without any resorce-intensive task being launched. It iss understood that latter two issues might not be related to a BIOS upgrade. But they all appeared shortly after the upgrade.
Also it is not clear if I'm able to use USB 3.0?
The current BIOS version is A7CN47WW. Is it possible to rollback? Can you provide the original / any stable BIOS version (for Lenovo G50-30 Windows 7 x64) which is prior to the one available at the drivers download page? Thank you!

hi a_demenkov,
Just to check, have you considered reinstalling Win7 after you got the issues that you described after flashing the BIOs to v47?
If you're leaning towards downgrading to the BIOS to v45, try the following:
1. Boot into the BIOs and enable BIOS Back Flash.
- Sample image
2. The BIOS v45 download link is not listed but if you look at the the BIOS v47 file below, you should be able to get v45 by renaming:
BIOS v47
https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/a7cn47ww_64.exe
to
BIOS v45
https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/a7cn45ww_64.exe
If you're not able to flash the BIOS inside Windows then you may need to do it under DOS.

Same problem is occurring as outlined in the following threads:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119615.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120513.0
I've carried out the same out-of-box tests indicated in 119615.0 without success.
Question:
Is it possible to force the existing system to boot to the FDD where the BIOS upgrade (v 1.2) would be stored ready for use? If yes, kindly outline the necessary steps to be carried out and please point me to the correct BIOS upgrade link for this configuration. If all else fails, MOBO can be exchanged but if BIOS can be upgraded via this method, I prefer this approach. I don't have access to an alternative CPU, so that approach is far less than ideal. Thanks for your assistance.

Is it possible to force the existing system to boot to the FDD where the BIOS upgrade (v 1.2) would be stored ready for use?
Yes, in theory it is possible to try an AMI BIOS Recovery Flash. However, in case their are other problems that are not visible because of the current problem, it is rather risky. If there is a memory problem or something similar that is currently undetected, the system may crash during flashing and your board will be rendered useless.
Quote
f yes, kindly outline the necessary steps
What you need:
- you need an internal floppy drive (properly connected to the board and 100% intact)
- you need an empty & formated floppy disk (make sure you check it for errors before you use it)
- you need a PS/2 Keyboard
What you have to do:
- download the latest BIOS-Archive file from here:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1373
- extract the BIOS File (e.g. A7380NMS.120), rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM [not AMIBOOT.120.ROM] and copy it to the floppy disk
- insert the prepared floppy disk into the floppy drive attached to the P7N SLI Platinum and Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU
- start the system and hit CTRL + HOME to force the system into recovery mode
If that does not work, try a different floppy drive & disk. Don't complain is the system crashes during flashing if the recovery flash starts (system stability is your responsibility).
If you can't get the recovery routine to start and read the AMIBOOT.ROM file from the floppy disk, you need to install a supported processor.

BIOS update crashed G530 4446-23U Win 7 32 bit

I have installed latest BIOS upgrade from Lenovo and my laptop crashed. (June 24 2011)
Will not boot, Lenovo restore doesn't help, can't boot from Windows 7 DVD
Does anyone know of a utility to create a bootable USB (or disk) BIOS flash
to roll-back to a working version of BIOS?
Lenovo G530 4446-23U, no HDMI support
Operating system: Windows 7, 32Bit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yeah.... Warranty .... Thank you!
This is a solution which actually works;
It was recommended by a brilliant friend who is not associated with Lenovo:
create bootable usb flash drive
here is a link to download wintoflash utility:
http://download.cnet.com/WinToFlash/3000-2094_4-10974471.html
Unzip 6get19ww.exe to the usb flash drive to a folder (for example C:\SOS)
boot computer from newly created usb flash drive (if Windows doesn't work, use command prompt)
locate an old bios file on a crashed machine. It should be name bios.bak
copy located file to another folder with the name bios.wph for example (C:\SOS\bios.wph)
run WinPhlash.exe from a folder (for example C:\SOS)
specify backup file for existing BIOS as bios1.bak
specify new BIOS file as C:\SOS\BIOS.WPH
flash BIOS
Everything WORKS!

External USB keyboard does not work with T60 after BIOS upgrade

External USB keyboard does not work properly with T60 after 2.26-1.07 BIOS upgrade.
It does the same with or without the docking station.
Anyone else bumped into this problem yet?
Has someone found any fixes for this?

Hi and welcome the forum!
Try uninstalling all USB hub devices from the device manager and reinstalling them again, particularly the keyboard's.
v2.26 is supposed to fix the issue according to lenovo:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-63024

Bios upgrade for Satellite 1900-303

I have a Satellite laptop 1900-303.
I have downloaded Bios upgrade bios-20071126165418 but when i run the Check.exe it informs me it is the wrong upgrade.
But the text files in the upgrade include 1900-303.
Is there a different Satellite model to the Satellite 1900-303 called simply 1900-303 or is this the correct Bios, please help.

CDROM of my laptop is failing to read from CDs now days and current i want to install new Operating system due to this i decided to use external drive to overcome the problem, but this laptop also fail to boot from external usb connected CDROM and there is no option to set in bios setup to boot from other devices or to external device. From this problem i decided to look for upper version of Bios to upgrade the current one may be it will be able to boot from external drive.
From this situation and my decision can any one tell me if i used wrong or right decision to do this and why so please i need your assistance please.
Your advice is very important to me because i don't hav enough money to by new computer or to order cdrom for this machine and i need to make it working so that i can use for my schooling activity.

Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

Hi there,
I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1.
The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios.
I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on.
I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29...
This is what I did so far"
I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound.
I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377 but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt.
I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
Thank you very much,
Mark

try reflashing your bios?

ProBook 4420s won't read DVDs, probable cause: BIOS upgrade (09-09-2011 F20). Audio CDs OK.

Hi, everybody.
ProBook 4420s is not recognizing DVD media. Drive is HP CDDVDW TS-L633N.
Recently ran HP Support Assistant to install most recent updates, and suspect the BIOS upgrade may be the cause. Now at version 68AHH F.20 09/09/2011.
It's not an operating system issue, for it no longer boots from bootable DVDs either.
Audio CDs are propperly recognized.
Running Windows 7 x64 w/SP1 + latest updates.
If not BIOS, I would suspect a hardware failure affecting the "DVD-related" components of the drive.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Mario

I have just tried to upgrade to the latest version of itunes, and my ipad was connected to my computer at the time. The upgrade crashed part way through. I now cannot start itunes as it says MSVCR80.dll is missing. Anyone got any ideas?

I was upgrading to the latest version of itunes, and my new ipad mini was connected to my computer at the same time, try to sync for the first time. The upgrade crashed part way through, and now itunes won't load and I get an error message saying MSVCR80.dll is missing. How do I do about reinstalling this file?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

VGA BIOS Upgrade

Hi,
i have a MSI 7800GTX installed in a Windows X86_64 machine and would like to know how I can update the cards BIOS as the update software does not work on this platform ?
TIA

To add... MSI's Live update software probably doesn't have an update for that card since it is so new. Cards are not like motherboards. And nVidia usually get's it right the first time around. I believe MSI stuck to the reference design. In fact, it may very well be that card is likely manufactured for nVidia by contract manufacturers, then sent to MSI. This is very common with initial releases to maintain a high level of quality control.
The only reason (in this case) someone would want to mess with BIOS upgrades or modded BIOS's, is to try to get more performance out of it. If you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing, you CAN render your investment useless. And there are no serious bugs that I am aware of. As Stu mentions, in the case of a specific issue, or functionality, there would be something, however, this seems like a pretty successeful release for a change.

Can a BIOS upgrade allow NCQ to be enabled on K8N Neo 2P?

My new hard drive happens to have NCQ capablity, though I didn't buy it for that reason (Maxtor DiamondMax 10).
Is it possible that a future BIOS upgrade would allow nForce 3 mb's to take advantage of NCQ?
I suspect the answer is no, but would just like to hear from someone who knows for sure.

ok then you lucky person, are you using nvidia ide drivers or windows ones, cos if you read it properly i say that windows drivers are fine just not nvidia ide drivers, and you may have diff firmware in your maxtor,, whatever, my 300 gig 16meg died in the msi k8n neo, as did the pata version 250 gig, 2 drives, with 16 meg cache ncq, yet the maxtor 200 gig non ncq drive 8 meg cache is fine in this mobo, as is the hitachi 250 sata drive, this is just using windows drivers.
Hope it keeps working for you which ever way, and ooh do a sear\ch and see how many other people are having trouble with this, and yet you send an email to msi about this and they say they have never heard of anyone having this kind of trouble,.

it seems that my floppy drive has flopped on this unit, is there a way to bios upgrade via cdrom?
thanks in advance

miradiem, welcome to the forum,
just replace the CMOS (Backup Battery), how to instructions can be found in the Hardware Maintainance Manual. Replacing it will stop it producing the error messages.

My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion. Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download. The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.

My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion. Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download. The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try. My app store ID is fine. What do I do?

Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

S7700n bios upgrade failure

have: hp pavilion s7700n, W vista 32bit, current bios:5.01
objective: upgrade bios
issue: bios upgrades 5.03 & 5.04 will not install. error reads...
'your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. update has been cancelled (9996)'
solution:?????????????
if a train comes to a stop at a train station then what becomes of work at a workstation?

question: is it possible one needs to install 5.02 first before installing 5.03? if so, could you please provide a link?
NO, one doesn't need to install all previous BIOS updates before installing the most current update. BIOS updates are cumulative and contain all previously released modifications.
"The only BIOS update listed for this model is...sp35113"... really? try this one on... sp35113 (5.03) and sp35154 (5.04)
Please see the list of BIOSes (with motherboard model, date, SP#, version #, and OS requirement) below;
A8N-BR
2007-09-14
sp35112.exe
Version:3.05
Microsoft Windows XP
A8N-BR
2007-09-14
sp35113.exe
Version:5.03
Microsoft Windows Vista
A8MN-BR
2007-09-12
sp35155.exe
Version:3.04
Microsoft Windows XP
A8MN-BR
2007-09-28
sp35154.exe
Version:5.04
Microsoft Windows Vista
Note that the A8N-BR has two distinct version series (3.xx and 5.xx) and that the OS requirement varies with the version. Note that extra BIOS update you listed, sp35154.exe, is for a different motherboard ... the A8MN-BR. Also, note that the A8MN-BR has two distinct version series (3.xx and 5.xx) and that the OS requirement varies with the version.
but what oh wise one might the other issues be? i've been at this for three days and i'm now at my wit's end
Without getting into too much detail, HP has the confusing habit of using the same or similar motherboard model numbers for different motherboards. To make matters worse, HP sometimes chooses to name the motherboard models with names that are the same but incremental or similar. Case in point... the M2N78-LA (4 diferent boards... Viola, Voilet, Violet3, Violet6)... the M2N68-LA (Narra, Narra2, Narra3, etc,)... the PTGD-LA/PTGD1-LA/PTGD2-LA series (Goldfish series, Grouper, Puffer, Piranha, etc.). Many times this cause BIOS update issues where there is a BIOS update listed on the support for a particular model but when you run the update, it is rejected.
This happened to me with a Violet based computer and a Violet6 based computer. HP listed the same BIOS update for both but it really only applied to the Violet based system. Trying to update the Violet6 board resulted in an error like yours. A call to HP and months later, they pulled the update.
I suspect some combination of errors is the reason you can't install the update. Honestly, the only one I would consider installing is sp35113.exe. And if it doesn't install, I would stop while ahead. The only reason to install a BIOS update, is to correct an issue that affects your system or to add support for something specific that you need. If the update doesn't address those items, there is no reason to attempt a potentially dangerous BIOS update and risk turning your computer into a BRICK.
