H77MA-G43 Failed BIOS Upgrade, Now BIOS Corrupted

PC Specs:
Intel Core i7 3770 Ivy Bridge
2X Kingston RAM Modules 4GB 1600Mhz
MSI H77MA-G43 Mainboard
NVIDIA GeForce GT240 Video Card
Hello everyone:
So, i've been searching for a solution everywhere, for quite a while now, and nothing... ergo this Forum Topic,
My Situation went like this:
1. Clean Install of Windows 8 x64, in UEFI Mode
2. LiveUpdate Tool installed
3. BIOS upgrade went in progress, part of the LiveUpdate automatic update
4. Accidentally confirmed the upgrade, while i was doing other things (i know, feel so stupid)
5. BIOS upgrade tool, erases BIOS 100% for Re-write it (Check )
6. BIOS upgrade tool starts to write the new firmware and BOOM Blue Screen of Dead in the middle of the process [NVIDIA DLL related issue]
7. Reboot computer
8. Now the board, is gracefully useless. Dead. No startup of nothing.
So, i understand that the BIOS is corrupted, i read in my Mainboard's feature page that it's possible to overwrite the BIOS from an USB Drive, but requires that the old BIOS start and boot from the USB Drive, so what should i do? i mean, i really don't have to post any problem almost ever, but this it's way out of my line of knowledge, so kindly i ask for someone help.
PS: i'm not so Dummy when it comes to computers. but for this treat me like one, so i understand really well how to solve this, because i really. don't want to buy another mainboard,
Thank you all in advance, i apreciate what comunities do for dummies like me...
Regards to you again.

i've been reading the last thread, been trying to do it with a usb stick... but i really don't know the thing with CTRL+HOME, it presses after computer start?, once? keep pressing?, multiple times?, that kind of things are not specified on the guide, my Bios file is about 8MB, so i guess it takes its time... without the screen feedback is so frustrating.... i can't found a specific guide for this boards, all of this is try and hope... there should be information more specific... i mean, should i contact MSI Tech support? you think, they would be helpful?
It was long time ago i cant remember how the process went. Did you also tried with the original drivers CD as i suggested before?
Yes is better you contact MSI support, in the meantime just get to a store to see if they have the tools to flash it.

H77MA-G43 failed BIOS upgrade

Hi!
i wasnt paying much attention to the msi utility and checked all the installed apps that i had (didnt notice but this included the bios) so it tried updating to 1.9 bios. i think it was on 1.7 or 1.8.
While it did this i switched the TV (shared with the PC) so i didnt see any of the process of update. After a while i switched back to the PC and said update finished, please reboot your computer so i did.
After this the computer did not boot up.
The screen stays black.
I've tried taking the battery out, using the reset jumper and nothing.
As last resort i downloaded the 1.7 bios and put it in the usb and renamed it to "AMIBOOT.ROM" and did the ctrl+home
Nothing happened.
Any other ideas? please help

Hi,
HP notebook computers have an emergency BIOS recovery feature that allows you to recover and install the last known good version of the BIOS from the hard drive, as long as the hard drive remains functional.
Try restoring BIOS using instructons in this HP web document. You have to strictly follow it to elicit a positive response. The timings are of utmost importance and you've keep on trying many times.
If that didn't work, try recovering the notebook BIOS using an external storage device (USB key) as mentioned in the doucment ...
The latest HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ is sp69886.exe . Run the installer and create a USB key as per instructions from another PC.
(This package contains the WinFlash utility and a system BIOS image for the supported notebook model running a supported operating system. The WinFlash utility is used to locally flash the system BIOS (ROM) on notebooks operating in a Microsoft Windows environment.)
Previous version of HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ sp66941.exe , is also available. You can try with this if latest one don't work out.
Note: Keep the laptop plugged in with AC adapter to Power supply during the whole process.
If the above methos doesn't work, please Contact HP in your region or local computer service center for further help in this regard.

What is the installed operating system? Is it Windows 7 or Windows 8?
If it is Windows 8 then you need to install the wireless button driver to return that function to your notebook.
You probably need to reinstall the Realtek Card reader driver and the Intel USB 3.0 host controller driver software driver to clear the missing device driver issues.

Bricked x120e -- failed BIOS update

Hi,
I was trying to update the BIOS of my x120e (0596-2RU) from within Windows 7, it got stuck (no progress for more than half an hour), now the notebook is bricked (the screen won't turn on; there's no beeps, just the fan is turned on).
I believe I followed all the instructions (battery fully charged etc.), but the Customer Support here in Ireland says failed BIOS updates are not covered by warranty (contrary to what some people on these forums say).
What are my options now?
Thanks a lot!
Solved!

Bios Corruption fix

I need help with my notebook because I have the bios corruption and windows + b solution doesn't work. Please help. My laptop is a HP g61

Hi RaphalDG:
Thank you for your inquiry. I am pleased to aid in this endeavor!
I understand that you are receiving a corrupt bios message. Here is a link to HP BIOS Application Selected is Corrupt or Missing click here. When you enter the Bios, do you see a roll back option, if so, you can use it, to take it back to before the corruption. Here is the HP Support Assistant for Windows 8 click here. as the version in the document is for Windows 7 and below. If this fails for any reason you could look at doing and Windows restore or an HP recovery to get back up and running. Here is a link to a page that has links for both options click here. I hope this helps,

Bios corruption

After a BIOS update from HP, the laptop will not start. Because the PC is out of warranty, HP wants to charge to repair it. HP's update created the problem! That's a scam! There is supposed to be a way to recover bios from a backup and it does not work. I am a tech of 31 years and I have never seen such a money scam as this company is running. All my cistomers will surely know about this!
Beware of the terrible service from HP.

Try disconnecting everything that is not necessary such as the hard disk and DVD drive (disconnect the SATA cable) and any usb device connected to the PC.
What happens now?
If it does not boot up then there is indeed a BIOS corruption issue.
There are companies that can program BIOS chips if you provide a new eeprom chip and BIOS file. I see that your locale is Aurtralia/New Zealand. You should be able to find a BIOS rescue company online that can help you.
Otherwise, replacement of the motherboard with an identical one would be the simplest solution. Is is unfortunate that your PC is out of warranty.

erico

Cannot boot....BIOS Corrupted ?

I have a lenovo 3000 Q, machine type 10003 Model Number 57054161 S/N SSxxxxxxxx M701W07, previously I change the motherboard and when it boot up it has this message invalid cpu serial number and error 00 something, but pressing enter to continue boot seem ok. But now I cannot boot the pc and cannot enter BIOS setup.
After the message usually I just press enter to continue, and it will boot up. Now it seem to stuck forever. Even pressing F1 to go to the BIOS also stuck at entering setup forever. Is the BIOS corrupted? I try to clear the BIOS by jumper pin, did not solved the problem. Searching for BIOS update / firmware for this type of PC on all over the internet did not find any BIOS firmware. It quite difficult to get info for this PC type with all the jumble up info at IBM and lenovo site.
Is there anyway to get this PC alive again ?
Moderator Note; s/n edited for members own protection

Already done that , I take out the battery for more than 3 days, and jump the clear CMOS jumper, but still when pressing F1, it stuck at Entering setup.
More detail on the boot up.
It come up with the ThinkCenter logo, Intel and Phoneix logo, then
ERROR 00CE Machine Type and Serial Number are Invalid!
Update the BIOS to correct this problem
System is starting
(To interrupt normal startup, press ENTER)
-- Usually this will boot up to the operating system, but not it stuck forever.
-- Pressing ESC will bring the boot up screen. It shows the :-
Phoenix TrustedCore(tm) Desktop SP2 for ThinkCenter.U
Copyright......
Lenovo Copyright.....
CPU Information
RAM Infromation
L2 cache info
There is no info regarding the hard disk or the cdrom drive although both of them are there and connected.
At the lower leff bottom stated Press F1 for Setup
Pressing F1 will change it to Entering Setup..... and stuck there forever.
Is there any way to fixed this ? Can I update the bios for this PC ? If can how, coz I cannot access the OS and where in the world that I can get the current BIOS for this PC, searching on the intenet did not found one. and to change the motherboard
is like buying a new computer.
Is there a reason that the boot up sequence did not detect the hard disk and the cdrom. the hard disk is sata 500GB and the cdrom is an ide cdrom that come with the PC.
Hopefully someone can shade a light on this problem.

ENVY 17-j005tx BIOS CORRUPTION - URGENT

Hello,
I have HP ENVY 17-j005tx and it showed HP updates and I let it install automatically. It promted me to reboot my notebook for the bios upgrade. The notebook was on AC power and it rebooted and I confirmed to install the bios when it rebooted to UEFI bios update page. After all the blocks were written it rebooted it self and gave me a blank screen. Then suddenly it turned it self off. I waited but nothing happend. So I decided to power it on. And nothing appears on screen ( the screen is not lighting up at all) and the WiFi led is on (orange). I realized the Caps Lock led blinks twices when it boots up. I've read on HP website and it defines as a BIOS corruption. I also read in one of the HP help pages that by holding down Win Key + B while turning on the laptop it should bring up the BIOS recovery page, but it doesnt work.
It would be great if anyone can help me out with this issue. I do have warranty + insurance but I'm sure there's a way to fix this issue before going to the store for a replacement. Also, if anyone could please send me a HP_TOOLS partition from their Envy 17-j005tx (to obtain the bios files such as 0xxxx.fd , 0xxxx.BIN , 0xxxx.BIN.DEC and 0xxxx.SIG). This will help me to include these files in my HP recovery USB drive. (I've setup a UEFI HP Enviornment [HP_TOOLS] on a USB drive from another HP laptop that I own - I need the mentioned files in order to flash the bios)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Download the Diagnostics softpaq on another PC. Connect a USB flashdrive to the same PC. thatyou are using and double click the softpaq. Choose to install the PC_Tools to the USB flashdrive. You can also download the earlierer versions of the BIOS from the drivers download web support document and extract the softpaq to use as a source for the BIOS files that you requested.

Satellite M40: Is failed BIOS update covered by warranty?

Hello,
I own a satellite M40. I had some problem with it, and tried to update the bios to see if it could solved it.
I flash the bios with the windows based utility, but the computer shutted down without any warning.
Now the notebook power up only 1s or 2, and then power off.
I bought this Toshiba, 10 months ago. So, is a failed bios update outside of the warranty ?
Thank you

Hello,
There is one last thing you can try if you want before taking it to your ASP. If you have a usb floppy drive, download the traditional BIOS update for your computer and ready the floppy. Once it is ready, plug the floppy to the computer. Hold down the TAB key and power on the notebook (some models have this safety feature in case of failed bios update) and see if the LEDs start blinking green and orange. If so, then it is updating the bios, once they are steady, then it is done and you can try turning it on normally again. If it does not work, then its time to take it to your ASP.

Kernel doesn't log ACPI events: ACPI module or Bios corruptions

Well, this is very strange and i dunno where to look at to solve this:
My new NP530U3C (Samusung ultrabook)is running Arch and i'm currently using acpid to trigger the acpi events couse i have no DE (fluxbox).
I can't understand the way my kernel and acpid log the LID event:
Kernel.log

When i close the lid, i have to wait 10 sec approx to trigger the LID close event and start the suspend action!
on wakeup i don't know because my samsung can wakeup only with the power button (no lid in wakeup events).
So somebody can enlighten me?
*EDIT <-----
I can summarize it is a corruption of the Bios/ACPI module that affect this laptop after a certain suspentions circle (I mean not every first suspentions).
I would like to debug in a better way but i have no instruments to investigate:
If someone can point me to a way to debug this stuff like Bios corruptions and/or Kernel module failure...
Any advide is appreciated
Last edited by j0lly (2012-10-29 14:29:44)

well, is a samsung ultrabook! i'm doing some m ore tests and still 10 sec delayed!
a note:
when the kernel log the LID state i can suspend instantly after i really close the LID.
after a reboot, and halt/start thigs doesn't changes....
The kernel logger resume after some reboots or *resetting* (using a needle to click a button above the laptop close to the battery) the laptop <-- this method was whrote somewhere and i tried it, and solved sometinms the issue for 2/3 days.
is starnge because it appears without any regularity, but i'm not so pro and is difficult for me to figure out what can trigger the event!
EDIT
Oct 7 00:21:58 localhost kernel: [ 686.653890] psmouse serio1: Touchpad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 6

dunno if is important, but after a resume from suspend, i got this messege. i thought it was only after it (like a little error in the resume hooks) but no i'm noticing it in the messages.log every how

Satelite P300 does not boot after failed Bios update

Hi everyone,
I have tried to update the bios of a P300 using this :
18/03/10
BIOS Update
Toshiba Windows 7 - 32 Bit 4.20-WIN32 World Wide
Which I downloaded from here: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK after entering my laptops specifications.
The flash process hanged during the update and the laptop became unbootable, blank screen when powering on and nothing else...
I tried using the Phoenix Emergency Crisis application, created a floppy disk with the Bios image file that I have earlier downloaded but managed nothing.
The USB floppy driver access the floppy when entering the recovery mode, I hear some beeps that indicate that a process takes places, but when everything stops and reboot...the problem remains.
-Has anyone got a clue what to do next?
-Is the warranty void after a bios update attempt?
Thank you for yor time.

Hi buddy,
You should check the forum content or with other words, use the forum search firstly before you ask something. Failed BIOS update is not unusual and can happen always. The forum contains already a lot threads about this and the only solution is contacting an ASP. The guys have professional tools to recover it.
