Change BIOS Splash Screen?

Is there a way to change the bios splash screen on the newer thinkpads?
I found a guide for the older ones but i'm not sure if it works for the newer ones (particularly the W520 for me): http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen
Thanks!

I looked at my T430s and it is as you describe, but I don't know of anyone who has done this since the UEFI BIOS was introduced, I haven't dealt with custom flash images since the T60. If it doesn't work, I would be afraid that the instructions might be outdated and just might not work.

  • T530 change BIOS splash screen

    I tried to change the BIOS splash screen with the guide in the FLASH folder but I only get a black screen.
    I've tried a jpg file less then 30kb with 640x480 but this didn't work.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or got it to work?
    I would appreciate any help!

  • Neo AMI bios Splash Screen?

    Is there any way to change the MSI splash screen on my Neo 875p (8xtreme graphic &c.)? My dell inspiron has a program for doing this, and it's a very cool feature. I was told by MSI that it can be done, but only for oem vendors. Has anyone stumbled across software for changing the splash screen on ami bioses? Moderators: maybe you can request the software from MSI?
    Thanks

    Yes, there is a way to put your own picture or logo in a bios. There are several programs and many steps to be taken in the process. Go to vp6-board.com and look in the hacked bios section. The links to all necessary programs are there and full instructions as to each step in the process. I have done this in the past on an Abit VP6 mobo I just retired a few days ago. Be SURE to follow all instructions! If you screw up your bios... since it isn't a plug-in type... I don't think Microstar will be any help to you or even badflash.com
    I don't recommend trying this unless you have mucho experience, and money to buy another board if ya make a mistake.

  • Bios splash screen

    Hi.
    Is there a way to restore the original HP bios splash  screen? My company is decommissioning some 8510p's and nc 8430's with our custom Logo and we wuld like to reset all devices to default HP logo. Is there a way?
    Thanks

    If you want to remove the branded splash screen associated with your BIOS, you need to obtain the firmware update for your current BIOS and then edit the logo file that’s part of the BIOS fileset before applying the update.
    Assuming your PC manufacturer has you create a floppy designed to flash the PC bios, you can fairly easily make a change to the logo displayed. Follow the directions to create the BIOS boot disk, simply replace the included logo.bmp file in the BIOS update package with a logo.bmp file created by you. The key here is to use a 16 color (NOT 16-bit color) 640×480 BMP file. Then copy yourlogo.bmp file onto the disk used for your BIOS update and then run the bundled logo.bat file by double-clicking it. This converts the logo.bmp to a format ready for the BIOS update.
    It’s vital to keep all the files in the BIOS update named exactly as they were or your computer may not work after the update. Any changes made to BIOS update files should be done at your own risk and with extreme care.
    I think in your case a flash back to standard HP BIOS should restore the standard splash screen as long as the BIOS files you use have the standard .bmp file included.

  • Tecra M3 - Stuck at Toshiba BIOS Splash Screen

    Not sure what to do here with this one...
    Bit of history... we bought my niece a used laptop for surfing/movies which worked fine when I had it a few weeks setting it up and such, she had it a week and it's now dead. Some days it works, some days won't even turn on. So, after much work determined it to be a motherboard issue, and since it was a $200 DELL, we optedto buy another laptop.
    I grabbed a used Tecra M3, been playing with it all week, games, surfing, you name it, seemed a gtood solid performer. I give it to her, she goes upstairs, plugs it in, powers on and just sits at the splash screen.
    Two nephews have no issues with theirs, wondering if possible the power outlet surging and killing the systems? She's 16, so (hopefully) knows how to handle a laptop carefully.
    Regardless... can't afford another dead laptop. Stuck at startup BIOS splash screen, won't go beyond that. Won't let me into the BIOS, and if I hit too many keeps too many times, laptop just beeps per keystroke.
    Any advice?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, not much of a support forum... 2nd posting and neither issue I had had any responses at all.
    In case someone see's this because having the same issue, the hard drive was very loose, barely making contact and fell off when I touched it. Pushed it all the way back in and works fine. Pegs on the panel designed to prevent the drive from becomming lose, not very good, still allowed the drive enough wiggle room to shake loose.

  • Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not boot - hangs at BIOS splash screen

    My Satellite pro L300-1FN is refusing to boot up. When switched on the laptop displays the toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS splash screen and the "Press F2 go to Setup Utility, F12 go to boot menu" message and flashes the hard disk access light but does not attempt to continue loading. I have left the bios at the splash screen but it does nothing for many hours on AC or runs the battery flat while on battery.
    Is there a way of re-setting the BIOS on this unit? If it were a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a BIOS reset but this is impossible on a laptop. The hard disk is fine as I have connected it to another system to remove valuable data.

    *I managed to fix this issue* ,,, thanks to some other dudes on other forums
    What i did was Format a Floppy disk as MS-DOS boot using a Windows XP PC and USB floppy drive, then downloaded the latest BIOS for my L300-1BW laptop model, copied *.fd bios image to the floppy disk and renamed it to BIOS.fd.
    Connect FDD to the toshiba laptop with out AC connected. Held Power button for 12 seconds, connected AC adapter, then held Fn+F, powered on , and kept the Fn+F keys held down for about 10 seconds into the reading of the floppy drive just to be sure, then let go. The screen was black throughout the process. I left this for a few minutes, or until it had finished, the laptop rebooted itself, and voila, it now goes passed the TOSHIBA POST logo screen :)
    I hope this helps others with Toshiba Laptops. should work for any Toshiba laptop.

  • Z87-G45 BIOS Splash screen stays during windows startup animation

    Hello all,
    this is my first post on these forums and I haven't found any similar problems like mine so here it is:
    when I power on the PC the normal BIOS splash screen comes up,
    then it disappears and normally the windows (I'm running  windows 8 Pro x64) startup animation should come up,
    but with me the BIOS splash screen just returns and the windows startup circle just comes ontop of it,
    like the normal startup animation but instead of a black background I have the BIOS splash screenas background and the windows logo itself also doesn't show,
    just the loading circle...
    My PC starts up pretty fast so its not that big of a deal but I just wondered if there was a fix
    BTW I'm running on a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming with the latest BIOS version (1.3) and windows boots of an SSD

    seems to be the normal way of booting. I've also just installed Win8 Pro in UEFI-Mode (not Legacy-UEFI!), and what I've heard from a friend that uses an ASUS board, is that this behavior indicates you are indeed booting in UEFI-Mode -> so no worries!

  • Neo4 bios splash screen freeze

    I have a rather strange problem with my MSI neo4 based system. I have allways had the occasional lockup at boot, where the computer would just freeze and become unresponsive at  the bios splash screen. Now, this freezeup has become constant, and I can not boot the system at all. According to the diagnostic bracket, it is freezing at the point where it should be displaying the logo and bios info, one step before running the memory check. It just freezes at the splash screen.   Help?

    Pepe Jose,
    Definitivamente tu PS ya no figura entre las posibles causas.
    a) Qué dispositivos USB tienes conectados a tu PC?
    b) Si utilizas el teclado sin el conversor de USB a PS/2 pasa lo mismo?
    c) Se que suena tonto, pero has probado con otro tecaldo y otro raton?
    Verifica también su tu Tarjeta de Video (VGA) está bien asentada/conectada; por ahí vi que,
    en ocasiones cuando se queda en "Processor Initialization" puede deberse a que la tarjeta de
    vídeo no está bien asentada en su ranura, o en el peor de los casos que puede ser que la
    tarjeta tenga algun problema o daño, por favor verificalo también.
    1. Si tienes una tarjeta extra o algún amigo que te preste una, prueba a ver que pasa.
    2. También, si no lo has hecho aún, actualiza el BIOS de tu board con la versión mas reciente (creo que es 1.A)
    3. Pásale el Memtest86+ a cada barra de RAM que tengas, individualmente.
    Si se vuelve a repetir:
    Pídele a tu distribuidor/vendedor que pruebe en tu board:
    a) Otro CPU igual (mantén el tuyo en tu mano, o no lo pierdas de vista)
    b) Otra RAM igual (igual regla)
    c) Otra tarjeta de vídeo. (igual regla)
    Si se repite: (No con animos de molestarte o sembrar malicia)
    Pidele a tu distribuidor/vendedor que te cambien el board. Si acceden: Busca el número de serie, apúntalo y mantenlo
    contigo. No dejes que el distribuidor o vendedor se entere de que tomaste el número de serie.
    El mismo debe ser similar a: "K0501234567" y aparece en una etiqueta con código de barras en el reverso del board.
    Cuando te den uno nuevo, verifica detalladamente que el numero de serie del board anterior y el "nuevo" sean diferentes.
    Si son iguales, rechazalo y exige que te hagan el cambio hasta que estés conforme.
    Te digo esto porque algunos distribuidores/vendedores de productos de IT, no son del todo honestos y no hacen el cambio.
    Muchas veces prefieren decir que el producto fue reparado o bien no dicen nada y no cambian el producto.
    Eso lo he visto anteriormente y explica por qué si el producto fué cambiado, presenta el mismo problema.
    Esta misma regla aplica a la memoria RAM, CPU y Tarjeta de Vídeo, en caso tal de que no sea el board y sea alguno de estos
    componentes.
    Bueno, por ahora es lo que te puedo sugerir. Me avisas que tal te vá.
    Saludos,
    bueno decirte que es mi segunda MSI NEO4 (cada una de una tienda diferente.....) lo primero que hice fue cambiar la placa (pensaba que estaba mal) pero nada, el problema sigue, depues cambie la fuente.......yo creia que o era la fuente o la placa, pero nada.
    el teclado es un ACER mecanico (no es de membrana) de unos 3 o 4 años........(lo tengo conectado por PS2)
    el raton es USB y lo tengo con un adaptador de USB a PS2
    la grafica esta OK y las memos y el micro tb, pq si no no seria estable el equipo, cuando va perfectamente....3 o 4 horass seguidas jugando y todo OK, sin reinicios ni cuelgues ni cosas raras.
    viendo esto....solo hay 2 posibilidades.......o es de algun USB (ahora los desconecte todos) o es del teclado/raton o si no......no tengo ni la mas minima idea.....

  • Boot issues with x79a-gd45 (8d) and n680gtx 4gd5/0c no bios splash screen

    n680gtx 4gd5/0c
    16gb ram out of 4 modules
    vertex3 ssd
    win7 64 en updated everything to the latest version.
    during boot i get b2 b4 and 92 messages but not bios splash screen.
    When doing a test with an old ati card the system shows splah screen all is fine.
    I have 4 systems like this all behaving the same
    any ideas

    Hello I updated the bios, was not neccesarry but problems remains.
    cleared the cmos several times.
    I have to inform you that i'm building 4 similar systems all suffering from the same problem.
    During boot there is a black boot screen not splash screen. and on the top left a cursor and in the bottom right b2 b4 and 92 messages.
    When I install and old ati x1050pro all is ok during boot I see the splash screen and i'm able to enter the bios.
    boot time approx 20 sec.
    when running the system with the msi n680gtx boot times are back to 2 min and a long period with only the black boot screen and the bios codes.
    As suggested I tested the card in a other system.  Motherboard is asus. And voila I get a splash screen.
    STRANGE THING IS THAT THIS SCREEN IS NOT RESISED BUT IS I GUESS 800 X 600 AND CENTERED IN THE SCREEN.
    Also after several reboots I could not get a screen filled splash screen.
    Can this be a video card bios issue ?

  • Stuck at BIOS splash screen

    I own a lenovo b570e model 20713.
    I was trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on it, and after installation I rebooted.
    Now the computer is stuck at boot splash screen, will not let me press f2 or f12. Just hangs there at the splash screen.
    Any suggestions?

    Did you perform a clean install of Ubuntu following the instructions on the Ubuntu forums? There are specific steps required to install Ubuntu on a system that uses UEFI instead of legacy BIOS.
    You can try removing battery and AC power, then hold down power button for more than 30 seconds to reset the UEFI settings.  Once completed, reattach battery and AC power, then enter UEFI and disable Secure Boot.
    Good luck.

  • Is there a way to go from BIOS - Splash Screen - Usable Desktop?

    I am using XFCE4. I have followed the instructions for silent boot as per the wiki, and am getting only two text outputs. The first is the "Booting Arch Linux" message and the second is the automatic login notification. I would like to first get rid of the login message, if possible. The second goal is to go from BIOS to a splash screen to the desktop with nothing else being displayed at any point. Is this possible to accomplish? If yes, then how?

    If you start X from a bashrc/profile with autologin to the tty then I don't know if you can do this.  You could, instead, set up a graphical target.
    But if you want a splash screen, that would be plymouth:

  • Photoshop CC, Change opening splash screen?

    Hello,
    Has anyone figured out how to change the Creative Cloud version of the splash screen?,
    I'd like to add custom artwork on the top corner and my company name when loading the application.

    Because Photoshop will launch successfully with a different OS X user account, can someone suggest which specific Console log(s) in both accounts to investigate (or search for the existence of) that may help diagnose why Photoshop won't launch?
    Additional behavior:
    In the problematic account, Photoshop starts to launch, and its menus appear. Many menus are black, but when you select a menu choice (such as Photoshop > About Photoshop or File > Open), then all Photoshop menus and choices gray out. Then you have to force quit Photoshop.
    However, if you first (while menu choices are still black) choose File > Open in Bridge CS6 (or words to that effect), then Bridge will open.
    Thanks.
