MOVED: Failed BIOS update on 865PE Neo3 in Server please help
This topic has been moved to BIOS.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=134569.0
Unfortunately Lenovo laptops do not provide BIOS recovery functionality, either get the laptop in for warranty, or find a local computer repair shop that will reprogram your SOIC8 BIOS chip, they usually charge $40

MOVED: Failed BIOS Update
This topic has been moved to BIOS.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=147430.0After a bad flash, you are not supposed to shut down the computer. You did so there's nothing we can do about that now. Best you can do is try bios recovery. See thread below. If it does not work you need a new bios chip.

BIOS Update causes Blue Screen of Death - PLEASE HELP
PLEASE HELP!!
After recently reformatting a Lenovo 3000 N200 (XP SP3), I downloaded the Lenovo Care (or whatever it's called), which downloaded a whole lot of updates, drivers....
The last thing that was downloaded was a BIOS Update. Before flashing and reprogramming the BIOS, the program created a backup of the old BIOS.
Since the BIOS Update, I can no longer turn on the laptop without the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). When I try to turn it on, it shows the Lenovo startup screen, then goes to the "previous attempt was interrupted" menu (the menu where you can choose 'Safe Mode'...), and no matter which option I choose, it starts to show the XP startup screen (with the progress bar), for 1/2 a second, then displays the BSOD for 1/2 a second (too fast too even read what it says or even get the error code).
What can I do to remedy the situation? Can I somehow access the backup of the old BIOS to restore it? Or is there something else I can do?
BTW, When I click F1 on the Lenovo startup screen (to get into the BIOS settings) it shows the BIOS version to be "68ET35WW (V3.03) - which is apparently the latest version for that laptop

[Athlon64] Failed Bios update with both Live Update and Dos version = badchecksum shutdownSometimes bios recovery is a long shot .
But the award bios v.6 is supposed to be able to do it if the bootblock is still intact.
Best way seems to be to strip it down to minimal configuration , disconnect all drives except floppy , one ram module , perhaps without video card also .
Look here :

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!

Satelite P300 does not boot after failed Bios update
Hi everyone,
I have tried to update the bios of a P300 using this :

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.
The same question was asked here:

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 youHello,
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. -
How to Roll Back a Failed BIOS Update for my HP Compaq 6735s (467826R-999) Notebook
I have searched the community and HP pages for instructions to uninstall a BIOS Update in case it fails, and I haven't found the procedure.
My notebook is an HP Compaq 6735s (467826R-999) running the Windows 7 64 bit Professional SP1, and a BIOS revision level of HP "68GPP F.0E, 09/14/09".
Going to the Drivers/Downloads for this notebook
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=3687622&spf_p...
I can see my old F.0E of 9/14/09 is super old because there is the F.21 dated 30-Jul-2012, GREAT!! I just have to be sure I can recover from a (possible) failed BIOS Update.
Oh yeah, one more thing: I'm not sure of the differences between the HPQFlash, the ROM Image, and the ROMPaq listed rows in the link above. Which should I run?
Thank you for your efforts!Were your suggestions assuming that I had already run a BIOS update? I have not. I'm just trying to be sure that I can recover from a failed attempt! I plan to run the BIOS update on 9/20/13.
So, when I follow your suggestion of Restart, then "F2", my notebook goes into a System Diagnostics menu.
I spent some time in the F10, BIOS Setup, Maintenance screens but didn't find any option to RollBack. Again, I suppose it is because I'm running the original, F.0E version!
I also checked the link
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c02693833
you provided to Restore your BIOS, and the tips didn't work for me - at least not with the original version installed.
If I do take the plunge, which would you recommend:
HPQFlash
ROM Image
ROMPaq
Thank you! -

Mine is an old IPod, 30 GB, Mod: A1136. I can´t find reference on the IPod page to download its manual or do an update on it. Can anyone please help?
Hello Ramirongo,
If you are trying to update your iPod, then all you need to do is have the latest version of iTunes installed and plug it in. It will check of any updates if they are available and update your iPod. I have also provided the User Guide for your model of iPod as well.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Hello everyone, im using iphone 4, my problem is that i cant update my iphone from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 while using software update in settings on my iphone please help......
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.
Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work
with wireless carrier other than the one it was purchased from. The
update has relocked it to the original carrier. Contact the original
carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - only the
carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that the previous modifications to change from original carrier
to your local Carrier may have rendered the iPhone unable to be
officially unlocked.
