Ideapad flex 15D, Need a new bios ASAP!

I just got my computer recently and The other night I tossed in disk to load up old software only to remember it had a rootkit on it, I was able to get a system restore done its really old and the RK posses no threat really. But the bios is still some creepy old half working half grey mess. I tried to find a Download for my computer for one of those .exe flashers but could not find one. Is their any out their for a similar computer that would work for me?

Come on Lenovo! Release a BIOS update!
Many people are having this issue, myself included. I have an AMD A4-5000 processor.
The Flex 2 15D had the same problem and you released a BIOS update for it. Release one for the Flex 15D.
Thank you.

IdeaPad Flex 15D no virtualization option in BIOS 94CN07WW (AMD APU A6-5200)

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15D (AMD APU A6-5200) does not have virtualization option in BIOS version 94CN07WW. What this means is if one wants to run for example Virtualbox, then one would only be able to vitualize a 32-bit operating system, instead of either a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. However, a similar model Lenovo IdeaPad S415 Touch (AMD APU A6-5200) does have the SVM option in the BIOS to enable or disable virtualizing 64-bit operating systems. December 22, 2014 8:00AM CSTWhen I called Lenovo technical support, I initially spoke with someone who sounded as if they were from the Philippines, which is fine if they are knowledgable, and their english is fluent. Unfortunately, when I explained the technical situation, he had no idea what I was talking about. After he checked with in Level 2 quite few times, he said that the motherboard doesn't support virtualization... So, I advised him that I've been in the IT industry for 10 years, and while admittedly I don't know everything about virtualization, I have some level of knowledge on the subject having worked in all positions from Level 1 Technical Support to Systems Engineer. Hence, I proceeded to explain how virtualization is a dependency of the CPU, not the motherboard. One would of course need to have a motherboard that is compatible with the CPU in order for the computer to work at all. However, one may buy a CPU without virtualization extensions and plug it into a motherboard, or one may buy the same CPU with virtualization extensions and plug it into this same motherboard. As well, I invited him to look at Intel or AMD's website for further information on this while we were on the phone so I could help clear up any questions he had on the matter. While he didn't appear to review either website, he checked in with Level 2 again, and suggested we check forums to see if a work around exists. I quickly explained there is no work around to this type of problem, and the resolution would be to put a request into engineering to have a BIOS update pushed out that allowed enabling/disabling SVM by default. After checking in with Level 2 once again, he said if it's not an option in the BIOS, then the computer doesn't support it. I advised while this statement is something I already knew (not to mention painfully obvious at this point), it's not a technical limitation of the hardware, as the CPU supports it. The root cause is that toggling SVM enabled/disabled wasn't designed in the BIOS (i.e. this needs a BIOS update to come out to fix this problem). We briefly talked about a warranty event, how from my past experiences sometimes when one submits a laptop to a vendor and gets it returned, it comes with a BIOS version that is later than originally submitted, or one that is not available for download from the vendor website. However, he wasn't really for this idea, as I didn't have a hardware fault per-say, and I wasn't interested in insisting one a warranty event as it was frankly a low probability event to have this outcome, and it wasn't what I wanted out of the conversation anyway. So, after he checked in with Level 2 again, he said he can call me back after he investigated some more. I advised him that a call back is useless if he is the one calling me back as we already know the problem, resolution, and who would need to address it. After he began to stutter, and make incomplete sentences that made no sense, he put me on hold to check in with Level 2 again (yes he checked in with them this many times). When he came back he claimed I said earlier in the conversation that the option to enable it was available so I should just go ahead and do that. Given that this guy frankly didn't know what I was talking about to begin wtih, and now is telling me something that never even happened in the conversation, I pretty much had enough of the lack of knowledge, and customer service I was receiving, so I asked to speak to either a supervisor or the next level of support. Thankfully he transferred me to his supervisor, who sounded like he wasn't from an outsourced call center, as when I explained the situation he understood me the first time, and spoke clear and articulate english. After a very brief discussion about what he was reading from Lenovo forums and a BBB complaint similar to my inquiry, we came to the conclusion that it would need to be a customer courtesy request to the engineering department to request the SVM option become available via a BIOS update. So, with my case number in hand, I said despite him not being able to promise me the outcome I desired, he at least got the issue in front of the right people, which I appreciated. Long story short, it would be just simply really awesome if Lenovo could push out a Happy Holidays BIOS update that would allow me to enable SVM on my IdeaPad Flex 15D. Thanks for reading.

I came across this issue a while back also. However, with the quickly-approaching release of Windows 10, there's another problem that I consider far more important (it is also related to the BIOS, go figure). There is no way to enable/disable Execute Disable Bit in the BIOS. Due to this, I have been unable to upgrade to the Windows 10 Insider Preview, and I fear that this will be the same case with the final release. This issue apparently affects lots of others as well. It is interesting to note that the Flex 15D drivers page no longer says that a BIOS update is not available for the laptop... It doesn't give any info about the BIOS. Get with it, Lenovo!

Have you tried running a virtual machine with VMWare Player or VirtualBox and forcing AMD-V to see if it isn't already enabled?

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15D In Serious Need of Backlit Keyboard

Does anybody know is Lenovo Plan to bring out an updated keyboard for the Lenovo Flex 15D or Flex Series Ultrabooks?
I have had mine now for 2 Weeks and am extremely hapy with its well built construction and its performance however it is missing a crucial peice of technology. A Backlit Keyboard.
As Good as the keyboard is and my eyesight for that matter. This machine would seriously benifit from a Back Lit Keyboard.
If anyone has any surgestions then please let me know.

I just purchased a flex 15D a noticed that upon start up, there's lighting behind the keyboard, and (being new to PC laptops) it took me two nights to figure out that the only way to turn it on is Fn+space.

Lenovo Ideapad flex 15d computer power issues

My Ideapad Flex recently developed two issues.
Problem 1: When the computer goes to sleep (via start menu, closing the lid, or being inactive) the hardware turns off completely. In Windows 8.1's event viewer there are two errors that state that power failed unexpectedly.
This has occured with the power adapter connected, and without. It also occured for Ubuntu 14.04.
Problem 2: The computer (when powered down) only occasionally responds to the power button, and fails to boot when it does. I have found a temporary workaround - resetting the BIOS - however that only works one time per reset.

Want to install dual cpu need a new bios? what fo you guys recomend?

i tried an online update on another comp a couple years ago....didn't work had to order a new bios chip lol
so on this board i want to use ur bios update system and update this system to a bios that is overclock friendly for amd 3800+ x2
what do you guys recommend?
fyi it is a gaming comp, risk is no factor, i have separate desktop and laptop for work

Quote from: Henry on 04-January-10, 15:05:40
Is the single core a 3800+ or something else? If it is a 3800+ then you must take into consideration that the single core stock speed is 2.4GHz and a 300MHz isn't that much of an OC for it. X2 3800+ on the other hand is 2.0GHz and 2.7GHz is 700MHz OC, a much larger difference and harder to accomplish than on a single core. In fact there were plenty of people with an X2 4200+ 2.4GHz that could barely reach 2.7GHz stable. Tell him about it Jeff.
Oh my yes...the opty 180 (dual core 2.4 GHz) I had frustrated me to no end. Very good chip mind you. Great memory controller...in fact ran 4 gigs very well, but couldn't push past 2.7 with any stability at all. Honestly, I finally gave in and backed it down to around 2.5. Not very exciting, and I tried for weeks and weeks in every configuration imaginable. Annoyed the heck out of these guys...I am sure. But they were patient and I was and am grateful for what I learned. Put an Opty 185(dual core 2.6 GHz) and pushed 3.0 GHz and more on stock voltages and still held onto the 4 gigs...even though the board because of the stress the 4 gigs puts on the memory controller, natively underclocks the ddr400 to 333 it runs 24/7 prime95 stable at ddr374. Very good memory controller in this Opteron 185. It just depends on you, the chip, and the luck of the draw.
Sadistic of you Henry to laugh at my trials and tribulations and, I might add, parade them for the enjoyment of all.

The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period - Flex 15D

Hello,
I have an IdeaPad Flex 15D, and I have had several problems (mostly processor-related) in the time I have been using it. I contacted Customer Support twice, and finally did a system reset a few days ago after being told by Lenovo Support that my choices for fixing the problem were 1) Reset, or 2) Pay for a premium service to diagnose the problem. Needless to say (again), I went with option 1. So far I have not had any noticible problems with the processors, but there is a certain error showing up in the Event Viewer that I am concerned about. Lenovo Support has been next-to-useless troubleshooting my problems thus far, so I'm taking them here. The error is as follows:
(Event ID 13)
The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS. In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly.
Sounds like the BIOS needs an update, right? Well, I went straight to the Flex 15D drivers page, and guess what? I quote the drivers page: Bios update is not required for this product. Not required? So, Lenovo ships a broken BIOS and then refuses to support it? I don't know if Lenovo employees ever read this forum, so this might not be the best way to get their attention, but I am so fed up with Customer Support and I want this issue to be known to more than just a few unhelpful 'tech support' people. The Flex 15D isn't one of the more popular laptops out there, so I can't expect anyone reading this to be able to duplicate this problem or really provide any support, but if you have any suggestions whatsover, please reply to this thread. Like I said, I want people to know, and hopefully we can get Lenovo's attention so they can fix this problem.
Best regards,
Owen Dugmore

Hi,
I understand that you get the error message when performing a full crawl. I have seen similar cases caused by IE proxy settings. You can try to edit the Internet Options>Connections>LAN settings. Uncheck ‘Automatically detect settings’.

My phone is completely broken, my plan isn't up yet.. but i need a new one?, my phone is completely broken, my plan isn't up yet.. but i need a new one?

could i buy a new phone from apple if i have a 5c. and it's broken.. i need a new one asap but i have a small pricing range.

your iPhone 5C is probably still under warranty if the problem is covered by the warranty. Otherwise, you can get an out of warranty replacement for your iPhone. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

New BIOS for MSI R290X Lightning

Hey. After some googling I learned that I need a new BIOS to control the fans etc with the Catalyst 14.4 driver.
My serial number is: 602-V307-04SB1402054122
Not sure what the difference is between GOP and UEFI bios though..? And which one of those I need. My current BIOS version is TV307MS.101. (Atleast that's what MSI Live Update 6 tells me)
Ohh, and here is a link to the BIOS I have right now. https ://www(dot)dropbox(dot)com/s/zvjrrog4c61y2oq/Hawaii.rom (Had to chop the link up a bit)
Thanks for all the help!

Your vbios is a legacy one which just supports bios legacy mode. A UEFI/GOP vbios supports UEFI mode of modern boards for ultra fast booting (but also supports legacy mode).
The latest UEFI/GOP vbios also fixes the fan control issue in Cat. 14.x. You can use the same and follow the directions in the following link: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=180521.msg1298693#msg1298693

I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook help ASAP!!!

I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook so I can format and re-install the default operating system. I have lost the original recovery disc that came with my MacBook years ago. Can anybody tell me how and where I can order one from?
Also, I do have the original recorvery disc that came with my MacBook Pro, could I not just use this or would it not be compatible?
Help ASAP please...
Thank you!

For a fee, you could likely order a replacement install-restore DVD for your MacBook. To get the correct disc(s) and match the hardware to the system, you need to know and have the serial number of the product handy, and be able to answer some basic questions; and have a form of payment, such as credit card.
Call the Apple Store online (main US number, 1-800-MY-APPLE) or the main Apple Support number for US, 1-800-275-2273.
Or if you're in another country, you could try calling a Local in-country support number and ask, since they may have to redirect your call to another associate. See link below for Support phone numbers.
An operating systems specialist or other qualified person will be able to try & help obtain the correct disc or disc set; if the computer original gray-label set is no longer available, they may be able to check their extensive database against your product serial number to see if they may have another full install disc that can work.
This other option, if it happens, based on your MacBook serial number and build model identifier, could be slightly newer than the OS X version shipped with the MacBook, and not be gray-labeled.
A replacement install disc in retail version would not include any original MacBook applications, while a gray-label disc set should have most of them as part of a multiple DVD set, if available.

Hopefully this helps resolve the issue.
Good luck & happy computing!
