GE60 2OE Bricked after BIOS Update

So I updated the BIOS from 511 to 517 under Windows 8 by executing this command:
afuwinx64 E16GCIMS.517
It seemed it worked fine, so I rebooted the system, but now it doesnt boot,cant even see the MSI logo (even tho the keys for the fan and keyboard lights work fine).
What can I do?

So you used the included files and just updated without taking the time to read what the website has?
There are instructions on the website where you download the bios on how to actually update it properly. Most likely the whole reason this happened is because you didn't follow any instructions at all. Even using the batch file included in the download probably would have given better results than this.
http://www.msi.com/files/pdf/Flash_BIOS_by_UEFI_BIOS_Setup_Utility_en.pdf
http://www.msi.com/files/pdf/Win8_UEFI_BIOS_Update_auto_en.pdf
Both of those are very different from the simple process you did.
On top of that, there's also this:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Most likely you will need to contact MSI in order to do an RMA to get it fixed.

  • X131e 3367 bricked after bios update

    Hello, I have bougt used x131e 3367. After successful update of drivers (Win8) using System update 5 I decided to update also offered new bios. After flash and restart I can hear only beeps 1-3-3-1. I have tried to find solution to recover BIOS but no luck. Solution with wincrisis does not work for me. I have tried to use e_bcpvpw.exe with $0AG9000.FL1 file but no luck - Source file format not acceptable - missing header!
    Suggestion are welcome.
    Thank you.
    Solved!

    OK,
    if memory stick are preinstalled from Lenovo' factory BIOS upgrade can't cause beeps issue. There might be issues if memory stick parameters are not the same as officially supported.
    I think you're finding the name of BIOS recovery file name. Have you a file fvrecovery.fd in the folder where BIOS update tool is unpacked in?

  • W540 brick after BIOS update

    Hi all.
    I have one month old W540. I received a notice on several recommended updates via Lenovo software, among them a BIOS update. Naivly enough, I accepted to install them all. All was installed successfully, but upon restart, my computer hangs with just a black screen.
    When power is pressed, it starts the keyboard light and turns it down. Nothing else.
    I tried draining the BIOS battery by removing battery and power and pressing the power button for 1 minute. No change.
    There are some threads out there that  explain how to use a crisis recovery disk. However, can someone help with BIOS type? I'd also rather try it with older version on BIOS, but I don't know where I can download from?
    I want to try the fix on my own, since I am currently working on a project not near to any service, I'll be here for three weeks more, and I really need my computer.
    Help please!

    I should preface this, that I have not done this with a W540, but with other computers.
    I'm using BIOS 2.10 which as of today appears to the latest.   Dowload the install version from "Update from a Bootable CD".  If you are a geek, you could in theory make a USB booting disk and install that way.
    >  BIOS Update Bootable CD for Windows 8.1 (64-bit), 8 (64-bit), 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad W540
    Then change the BIOS to boot from the DVD/CD Drive (you can immediately hit the clealy labelled <F12> key to start the boot selection menu.
    It might by default go to the DVD drive if it cannot find the HD.  Do make sure your computer is connected to the mains.  Just check the light to make sure you are on AC.
    Follow the on screen directions, or it might start the BIOS update as a default.  When finished, remove the CD, reboot, and you should be good.  In any event,you will have to reset the BIOS to use the default OS drive. It may work without reseting, as normal BIOS check all drives until it finds a bootable device.  If the bootable device is not the primary choice in the BIOS, it will boot, but there will be a delay.  That can clearly be seen on the HD i/o light as the computer seeks.

  • Lenovo G40-70 Bricked by BIOS Update

    Hi all,
    Need help on my Lenovo G40-70 that I've just bought 6 months ago where I accidently bricked the laptop after BIOS update. It seems during the BIOS updating process it when well but after 2nd reboot there's some message on the screen that the BIOS failed to update factory setting and it freeze on the message for quiet sometimes. After a long wait I decided to long press Start button for hard reboot. Then the scary part comes in where it seems the laptop can't longer shows the Lenovo logo & cannot even boot to Windows, just black screen.
    Hope anyone can help me on this and give some advice on what I'm going to do. I would like to tried myself first before ending up with warranty claim since I'm worried I've brick the warranty due to wrong BIOS update procedure....

  • Pavilion dv6235nr bricked by BIOS "update"

    Recently I was working on a dv6235nr, whose BIOS had not been updated since the machine was purchased in 2007.  Naturally, I thought it should be perfectly safe to install the most recent BIOS, version F.2E, dated 12 April 2010.  And it should have been safe.  Until now, I have never, ever, had a single problem with manufacturer-supplied BIOS updates on any other computer, media player, or any device.
    But HP's buggy "update" destroyed my machine.  While the BIOS reflash completed normally, the machine is now completely useless.  Upon powerup, the fan spins, the display remains blank, and there is a pattern of excessively loud beeps through the built-in speakers.
    The pattern of beeps is "one long, two short," which I have read elsewhere might indicate a defective graphics device.  That seems really unlikely, as the machine only has built-in Intel GMA graphics.  Nothing happened to it that should have caused a hardware failure.  I cannot convince myself that the Intel GMA chipset somehow spontaneously failed right after a BIOS update.  The timing is just too suspicious.
    Things I already tried:
    -HP's "hard reset" procedure did nothing.
    -Well, there's really nothing else I can try, since the machine won't even get as far as POST.
    The evidence suggests that HP's defective "update" bricked my machine.  How do I fix it?
    Is there some way to put an older firmware on a USB stick or SD card and re-flash it to BIOS without being able to see anything?

    This appears to be similar to what happened to my S10.  See this post

  • I can't activate windows 8.1 pre-instal​led on my Toshiba E45-B4200 after BIOS Update

    I bought Toshiba laptop Model E45-B4200, at first time I could activate windows 8.1 like a charm.
    Few months later Windows 8.1 has crashed, so I did clean install of pre-installed windows, no problem so far. Toshiba Application installer app has downloaded BIOS update, so I ran it.
    I tried to activate windows after BIOS update, but it didn`t work. No error message, but Change PC settings window just got minimized every time that I tried to click on Activate Windows option. I thought that I did some mistake, so I repeated windows reinstallation, and same problem occurred again.
    Now I can`t update Windows, Office 2013, and so on. 
    I`ve tried SLUI 4 command to force activation by phone, but it didn`t work as well.
    I read on MS blogs that windows 8.1 stores product key on MSDM table, windows should be activated normally. Now I got no options now, can you help me?

    It shouldn't need to be activated it. Everything should be automatic. Because it's asking you, that's already indicative of a problem. You might want to call customer support.

  • After BIOS update Satellite L350-172 doesn't start anymore

    Satellite L350-172 Bios-Update from bios-20090203164614 to bios-201002250
    I just updatet the BIOS of my notebook from 1.60 to 2,20. Now the Notebook doesn't start any longer.
    "It was stopped for reason not to damage the Computer" - blue schreen.
    How can I downgrade the bios again? Or - what have I to change in the bios-settings?

    Hi schuwe,
    Im a little bit confused about your posting. How do you tell your BIOS not to restart?
    Anyway, after BIOS update you should load the default settings in BIOS.
    Did you choose the right BIOS especially for your model?

  • After BIOS update DVD driver do not read DVDs anymore - Sat A80

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A80-131 and after bios update (last version 2.5) by windows procedure update, my DVD drive do not read DVD medias anymore. It is possible to read CD medias, but not DVD one.
    Can I reinstall the old bios? Can I reinstall the firmware?
    Thanks
    Ronai Lisboa

    Hi Ronai
    Like Jimi has said in the posting above. It's very unusual that after BIOS updating the DVD drive hasn't read the DVDs.
    Furthermore it's not advisable to use any 3rd party applications to DOWNGRADE the BIOS. Usually only the ASP can downgrade the BIOS. Such procedures are very serious and the wrong procedure can damage the motherboard.
    However, it's nice that you have solved the problem and that the drive works properly.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after BIOS update

    Hi
    after update the Bios of Satellite Pro L300, the windows not start!
    Its show the blue dead screen!
    What can i do?

    Hi
    Are you able to access the BIOS settings?
    Im not quite sure why this BSOD appears but possibly the SATA mode settings have been changed after BIOS update
    Usually the SATA mode should be set to AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
    But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode should be set to compatible.
    Please check this!
    Furthermore you could set the BIOS to the default settings and could try to boot the machine again.

  • Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

    Hi.
    Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
    bios-20070709111839.zip
    After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
    I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
    What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
    Thanks in advance
    MAT

    > Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
    What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
    You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
    Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
    But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
    Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
    Good luck
    Greetings

  • HP p6230a runs slow after bios update - Getting error BIODHD-8 on Diagnostic Tools

    After bios update my desktop runs so painfully slow it is unworkable.  Disk drive seems to be constantly hammered by processes that don't appear on task manager.  Running 64 bit windows 7 (sp1).  Running the diagnostic tools prior to boot up comes up with error code BIOHD-8 - A SMART test failed on the drive - please contact HP Support.  Ideally would like to get previous version of bios as machine was running well before update. 

    I will ask my HP Employee Expert colleagues about this internally. It will take a while for them to respond.
    the BIODHD-8 error code means your harddrive is failing and must be replaced.
    Back up everything that you possibly can before it fails and no longer boots up into Windows .
    is your notebook still within the standard warranty period of one year? A notebook hard disk is a warranty replaceable item.(no cost to you while within warranty)
