Neo-FIS2R v1.5 BIOS update procedure went bad!

Hi all,
I tried to update my BIOS from v1.4 to v1.5, but something went wrong in the process now my board is completely dead.  First, flashing in WinXP didn't work for me.  However, the system was still intact.  So, I tried to flash in DOS.  Created the DOS disk using the Live Update for the BIOS v1.5 update.  Once the disk booted, got the message that it's okay to reboot.  When I did reboot, my video never came on but the floppy did.  This is strange because I thought I was done flashing.  Anyway, it seemed to load the floppy again and I heard 4 beeps afterwards.  I remember reading that the 4 beeps signals that it's safe to reboot, so I did.  Now, my D-Bracket is stuck at 4 red lights, which is a real bad sign.  Looks my BIOS is completely screwed up!
My question is, do I have an option to reset the BIOS somehow?  The only option I can find is clearing the CMOS, of course, that didn't help.  Is my board completely dead?  Do I have any recourse?
Mike

Hi guys, I'm back!
Thanks to your recommendation Jocko, I RMA'ed the board and it turned out great because MSI was very fast in fixing and returning the board to me.  They didn't even have my MB for more than a day.  They reflashed BIOS v1.4 for me.  Everything is great now because my machine is working fine again.
However, it still wasn't easy because I found out that the culprit to all of my problems was the no name 512MB PC3200 memory I was using.  I haven't tried all the different setting permutations for this chip, but I was able to have the machine run fine if I choke the performance by limiting the speed to DDR200.  It's very stupid to run at that speed with such a powerful MB, not to mention spending more money for DDR400 only to run it at DDR200.  This all started because I didn't do enough research (didn't find this board) before buying my parts.  For all my past PC building experiences, I was able to get things working by just buying the right type and speed of memory that matched motherboard specifications; usually, this meant buying the cheapest memory you can find on pricewatch.com.  Boy, did I get a wake-up call with this CPU-Motherboard combo.  I wished I had learned earlier that the way an Athlon 64 CPU manages memory on its own would cause such major compatibility issues.  Now that I explained how I screwed up buying a no-name chip, here's what happened:
When I got my board back from MSI, I was able to get into the BIOS (v1.4) settings and limit the memory speed to DDR200.  My system booted fine.  I proceeded to update to the latest v1.6 BIOS thinking that since my machine is all fixed, I should go to the latest version on everything.  This is where the problem happened.  Once the flash was complete in WinXP, I restarted the machine and POW!  It's dead again!  You can imagine how I felt then  The only difference is that this time, the MB still had enough capability to read my floppy for a reflash of the BIOS.
It appears to me that whatever they changed after v1.4 (my original problem started when I flashed v1.5, which is no longer available) revoked that chance for the user to adjust memory speed; a must for users with memory compatibility issues.  It just freezes at "early chipset initialization" according to the D-Bracket.  By the way, I tried clearing the CMOS numerous times also to no avail.  Since I was able to flash a new BIOS using floppy recovery, I went back to BIOS v1.4 and I cleared the CMOS.  I thought that would get me back to where I was before.  The strange thing was it didn't help at all!
I'm sure you guys are fed up reading my story up to this point, you can imagine how I felt.  So, I decided to solve this problem once and for all by buying a chip that is known to work well with this MB.  I bought one Kingmax MPXC22D-38 512MB DDR400-PC3200 chip.  Now, my headaches are gone since everything is working fine again.  By the way, I haven't had a chance to optimize the memory speed settings yet.  If anyone has the Kingmax DDR400 optimal settings for the FIS2R, Tiresmoke , I would greatly appreciate some help.  I'm tired of messing with JBAT1 and clearing my CMOS!
Thanks for everyone's help.  I truly appreciate it.
Mike

  • U430 BIOS Update Procedure (fixes wake from sleep issue on Windows 8.1)

    Hopefully this will make the BIOS update process a bit easier.  The following steps address two common questions (Failed BIOS Update and the Windows message about improperly configured Secure Boot).  NOTE: After a successful BIOS update you will want to check additional items in the BIOS not directly covered in the steps below (e.g. Intel Virtualization.... the update disabled this for me.)
    U430 BIOS Update Procedure:
    1. Download the BIOS update from Lenovo (it will be in .exe format... the program will install new BIOS).
    2. Shut down computer.
    3. Use the "Novo" button (tiny button on left side near Power button).
    4. Enter BIOS setup.
    5. Under "Security" select "Secure Boot" and choose "DISABLED" (this allows the BIOS update program to work properly).
    6. Under "Exit" select "Exit Saving Changes".
    7. Computer will reboot. Log in to Windows (it will have a message stating "Secure Boot not configured properly" this is expected).
    8. Run the Lenovo BIOS program (this will reboot the computer and you should see an update status screen). Once finished, the computer will reboot. Log in to Windows (the "Secure Boot" message will still be there) and then turn the computer OFF (I've found that turning off the computer from the log-in screen doesn't completely shut down the computer. If that's the case then hold the Power button until it does shut down).
    9. Use the "Novo" button and enter BIOS setup.
    10. Under "Security" make sure "Secure Boot" is ENABLED.
    11. Also under "Security" select "Restore Factory Keys" and hit Enter. Select "YES" (this step along with our previous step will make Windows happy).
    12. Under "Exit" select "Exit Saving Changes" (computer reboots and all should be fine!)

    Hi,
    Generally speaking, this problem should be caused by hardware driver problem. Such as Graphic driver, NIC driver, etc. Please check computer driver edition, make sure  they are compatibility with Windows 8.1.
    Actually, I made a search on Acer official site, the model of your computer doesn't have all hardware driver provided for Windows 8.1. Such as Graphic driver. You can refer to the link below for more details.
    http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
    In my opinion, it would be better to contact ACER, to check whether this serial computer had the same problem with yours.

  • Bios Update Procedure for Portege 7200CT

    Is somebody out there have the proper procedure to update the bios of a Portege 7200CT without the docking station.
    Toshiba has posted a procedure in its bulletin but it does not explain how to do the update without the docking station. As everybody knows that the Portege 7200CT has its floppy drive on the docking station and if we follow the Toshiba updating procedure we have to undock the laptop, so how can we proceed with the update if the update software calls for a floppy drive that is on default to drive A:
    Hope somebody out there have something to share!!!

    Hi,
    My Portege 7200CT present bios version is 1.5 and the latest version that is available at Toshiba-USA website is 2.1. I have WinXP Pro SP2 on it and the problem is that the PCMCIA slot does not recognize or detect a PC Card or Cardbus that I plug on it.
    I only need to know how to update the bios without the docking station. Or can I update the bios with docking station.
    Thanks,

  • Satellite U400 - Bios update procedure failed

    Hey Guys,
    I need some help!
    I was updating my works laptop Bios and i had the power cord conected and (no battery, it was at home).
    Anyway we had a blackout right in the middle of when i was doing the up date.
    Now when the computer starts up all the lights come on and there is no display and then a long beep.
    Any ideas on how i can fix this?
    It's still under warenty
    thanks
    Michael

    Hello
    Sounds like that the BIOS update failed because the notebook doesnt start anymore
    How can you fix this? Yourself you cant fix it I think because the ROM module must be reflashed or the mainboard must be exchanged but you can go to the nearest authorized service provider.
    The technicians can check this and repair it. On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest ASP:

    Good luck!!!

  • 875P-Neo FIS2R v1.0 BIOS Problems

    Purchased PC in June w/875P-Neo w/1ea. 80G SATA, 2ea. 200G ATA-133 w/SATA Adapters as RAID 0, Windows Server 2003, NVidia TNT 32M AGP Video, Floppy, and Pioneer DVD-RW, using 2G Kingston DDR 400 Dual-Channel RAM.  PC in Box with 7 Case fans, and P4-2.8GHz 800FSB w/CNPS-7000 Copper Flower CPU Fan/HS.
    Once or twice per week W2K3 would lock up with basic desktop but no taskbar and no keyboard or mouse function (arrow moved, but that's all).  Tried all software and BIOS settings I could think of to no avail.  Downloaded and installed v1.6 from MSI and all seemed OK but as I was going through BIOS checking/changing settings as required my video would start jumping and dashes and underlines would appear randomly on screen.  Problem would get worse the longer I was in the BIOS setup.  I could not get W2K3 to boot after v1.6 so tried the recover process.  This appeared to work until I tried the re-boot after getting the 4 beeps.  Now all that happens is the BIOS wants to continuously recover from floppy beeping 4 times every time.  If I remove the floppy it would keep looking at the floppy drive forever, beeping once every now and then.
    I returned the PC to where I purchased it and they replaced the mainboard which seemed OK.  I had the tech flash the BIOS before bringing it home with 1.6.  After I got it home, I began getting the same behavior as before the recover process on the first MB (above).  I decided to see if I could get the system to take BIOS v1.4 since I have another computer with that version that is stable.  It worked!  So far the PC seems OK with v1.4 except I wanted some of the features in the new versions.
    What is going on with v1.6?  Have others had probems with this BIOS version?  Is v1.5 safe?
    BTW, I used the RAM Disk method of updating the BIOS everytime except during the recovery attempt.
    Thanks,
    UProsper

    Actually everything is brand new as of June and all components are matched.  The Video is a 4X AGP (1.5v) and has worked fine before the v1.6 BIOS.  The tech that installed my replacement MB told me the BIOS version in the MB originally was v1.2, but I didn't actually see the screen from the original BIOS before it was updated.  What's strange is two boards behaved the same with v1.6.  I did get the new MB to settle down with v1.4 and I have another computer with the 875P-Neo and v1.4 working fine.
    Either v1.6 has issues or there is something unique about my configuration that it has problems with.  I don't dare update my other computer (that is configured differently) to find out.  I really want some input from someone at MSI or someone who has experienced similar results with v1.6 and this board.  I am hoping there is something with 1.6 that will be fixed in the next release.
    Thanks,

  • Neo-F 1.6h Bios: same procedure as every...

    Hi,
    what is this?
    The Timingproblems are still there (if you setup you timing by Hand, in windows you have other timings - example: i setup 5-5-5-11 and cpu-z give me 3-5-5-19. Fine work :(
    Against the 1.6F i miss ~13ms memory refresh (latency): 63ms vs 80ms with 1.6H
    In "memory read" i miss ~800MB/s. From 7200mb/s to 6400mb/s in 1.6F
    Think i dont want to let me spoof a longer time....
    Intel C2D E6400, 350MhZ FSB, Speedstep on, 2Gig MDT Ram.....

    Quote from: RemusM on 04-February-07, 01:17:54
    V1.6F is still the best one ... unfortunately ...
    I agree with that. I was testing all other BETA and 1.6,but 1.6F is the best release so far.The thing that I don't like about 1.6F is that the memory timings aren't recognized in the benchmark(Everest 3.50 or CPUZ) but definitely gives the best latency.Although,that doesn't gives me right to believe that those are the real numbers. With 1.6 ,when I set the timings by SPD,Everest reports 5-5-5-15 witch is correct,but with 20ns lower latency from 1.6F. If I set the timings manually, I get 5-5-5-23 in Everest with 22ns lower latency. That's why I'm bit of skeptic that maybe if the timings were recognized properly with 1.6F by Everest, or CPUZ,the latency will be poor as with 1.6.
    I mailed the MSI technical support team about this issues a week ago,and here is the answer:
    "We tested the motherboard using everest 3.5. Maybe there is some compatibility problem between the motherboard and the software. We suggest you change other software to try. Besides, we should test the motherboard by some different departments before releasing a new BIOS. So it will take some time. When we release the BIOS, we will put it on the MSI's website as soon as possible."
    I have underlined that "You can say that it is the benchmark software that isn't correct,but I experienced low performance while working with graphic and games with BIOS 1.6".If this is the next generation of BIOS for 965P Neo,then i should pack this MB and look for a better choice

  • B575e BIOS update gone really bad.

    I have a "small" problem that I hope someone can help me with. I just bought a nice little Lenovo B575e 368522G Notebook. For some strange reason, which I can not remember now, I decided to update the BIOS. Was it necessary? Of course NOT! Why did I do it? Maybe because I have a habit to always make sure that my computers have the latest updates available. I have made updates to the BIOS / firmware a number of times, both at home and at work, so this was nothing new to me.
    What was new for me was that for the first time I could actually flash an INCORRECT software without being stopped. Normally there is a message if something is wrong and the update is stopped BEFORE it begin. In addition, both versions are usually displayed. Yes! I noticed several warning messages, but that's nothing unusual. In retrospect, I should probably pondered upon these messages a little bit more. Anyway, the update began and after a few seconds and the following message was displayed. "Incorrect package information detected." Whoops! Now I understood that I had a delicate problem on my hands.
    Of course, Windows (7/64 bit) would not start. The boot sequence stops at the Boot device list where both DVD and HDD are shown BUT the only option that will work is the BIOS Setup. When i enter the BIOS Setup i get two error messages. First: "Formset 3E59A2-AA28-42F4-BCC0-AEDFE88106AD Failed to load storage: LBC. Status : Device Error" i click OK and then a second message is displayed:  "Formset 6DB6BE53-00DE-43D9-87EC-59EDBC1E988F Failed to load storage: LBC. Status: Devide error". The same messages also comes up when changes in the BIOS are saved.
    Have tried various settings in the BIOS to see if I could get Windows to boot. Among other things, the obvious "SATA Controller Mode Option" that I did put to "AHCI". I've tried several other settings but nothing has helped. Also tried to reset the BIOS, with the "Secure Rollback Prevention" Disabled. Restoring appeared to work initially but after reboot nothing has been changed in the BIOS.
    I've been looking in the Community Knowledge Base but could not find anything related to my problem. So, is there anyone who can have mercy upon me and help me with this problem? Does anyone know how / if it is possible to get hold of the "original factory" BIOS for a B575e Notebook?. Thus the BIOS that I "trashed". Or maybe something else that would fix this quandary - if so, i would be very very grateful.
    The file that I downloaded from Lenovo's support page, and updated the BIOS with, was: hpuj50uc.iso ver.1.01-1.07 dated from 16 Oct. 2012, and should match both Win 7 and 8 32/64 bit. This update gave me UEFI BIOS Version: HPET63WW (1.01) Date 2012-09-03 and Embedded Controller Version: HPEC14WW (1.02) + an otherwise dead Notebook.
    Thanks in advance

    Dear thowal and Lenovo Ladies and Gentlemen!
    I have exactly the same problem as thowal has. His description is correct but I would like to put here some additional comments.
    UEFI-BIOS issue
    The initial BIOS version is: HPET18WW(1.03), released 05/29/2012.
    The HPET63WW is BIOS for a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop type based on the following displaying at BIOS startup:
    “Phoenix SecureCore Tiano™ for ThinkPad”,
    furthermore I tried to use the exe version (h9uj50us.exe) too (of course when the Windows was still running), but it was terminated with an error message that the program does not know the system i.e. it does not know Lenovo IdeaPad B575E. I tried both Windows 7 and 8, because it was not unequivocal for me first time what does “system” mean – operating system or hardware. I looked at the screen messages more detailed and the exe has been produced also for Lenovo ThinkPad.
    I am a Hungarian, but there is not Hungarian Lenovo support page, we are forwarded to US support pages. I thought that this is the problem, i.e. the US B575E is not exactly the same as the Hungarian version, therefore I looked at some other Lenovo support pages near Hungary (German, Austrian, Polish), but there are the same versions everywhere.
    I kindly ask Lenovo to remove incorrect versions from Lenovo IdeaPad B575E/BIOS and to upload the latest proper BIOS versions (both exe and iso).
    Fan issue
    Why did I try to update my BIOS?
    The laptop fan is always working on high speed independently the state, i.e. either only in the BIOS configuration menu or under Windows, all the same. I tried both Windows 7 and 8 with several power management settings, and the power management was enabled in the BIOS.
    My question is whether is this mentioned high fan speed normal?
    My girlfriend has an IBM ThinkPad, bought in 2005, it works 12-14 hours every day (office and internet browsing), but it is generally silent. Its fan works very rarely. I have a Fujitsu Lifebook laptop (company laptop), it works 10-12 hours per days (office and internet browsing), but also its fan works very rarely. Fujitsu has an Intel i5 CPU with 35W TDP inside. In Lenovo B575E an AMD APU is with 18W TDP. I know that ThinkPad and Lifebook are not the same price and technical category as IdeaPad, but 35W TDP vs. 18W TDP at the same use…?
    I do not want to play computer games, I only want to use office applications and internet browsers, but I need a quiet machine.
    My question again: Is it normal, that fan of my Lenovo IdeaPad B575E is always working with high speed?
    Thank you.

  • Has Apple done a fix for the recent Security update that went bad.

    Hoping to see a message from Apple that they have made a patch to correct the errors caused by the recent download.

    Yes, the problematic update v. 1.0 was immediately replaced by v. 1.1. Just run Software Update again to install it and resolve the Rosetta problems caused by the original.

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E doesn't boot after XP BIOS update

    Hi there, I need some help!!!
    just recieved laptop, tested all ok with Vista business and everything works fine.
    Now i have a requirement to test a build for a duel boot XP laptop and followed the enclosed instructions for changing the BIOS to enable me to install XP.
    Re-started the laptop with the bios disk, selected the XP bios and all seems ok.
    The phone rings, i answer. When i finish I look back at laptop and screen is white.
    Leave it for 20 mins still white. Turn off laptop and restart, no tosh splash screen, nothing.
    Now will not boot, so what do i need to do to get this thing working again???

    Hi buddy...
    That looks very bad! :( it look like something went wrong during the BIOS update procedure and therefore the notebook cannot boot correctly.
    Hopefully only the ROM module must be flashed again.
    This can be done only by an authorized service provider!
    I don't see any other solution as to contact the ASP in your country and to ask for the help and further handling.
    Good luck and best regards

    Hi
    Hmmm what to say. Sounds not good and in my opinion it looks like you have updated the notebook with a wrong BIOS or something went wrong during the BIOS update procedure
    Are you 110% sure you have used the right BIOS??
    It seems you will be not able to solve this issue yourself without any additional help from notebook technician.
    In most cases the BIOS must be flashed again on special way
    For me its clear You have to contact the ASP to get rid of this issue
    Good luck and regards

  • Satellite Pro A300 (PSAG9E) - After BIOS update Windows doesn't boot

    Reboot went fine after BIOS upgrade and Windows XP logo appears loads for few seconds then beep and reboot - last known good or start Windows normally same effect.
    Rebooting back to start again - this is a brand new laptop - using BIOS from Toshibas official download site.
    Pretty annoyed as trying to figure out how to refresh or downgrade BIOS.
    Have taken battery and RAM out to see if I can clear it?
    Any ideas anyone?

    Hi
    Hmm this is very strange usually if something would went wrong during the BIOS update procedure then your notebook would not boot up.
    It would be dead.
    But in your case the notebook boots up but just the OS does not start properly
    Maybe you should try to reinstall the OS again?
    I see you are using the Win XP I think the Vista was preinstalled. Am I right?
    Hmm. in my opinion you should try to boot from the Toshiba recovery disk and should try to reinstall the OS in order to check if this issue could be solved.

  • 875P Neo FIS2R-Slow boot with Raid on Intel + Raid on Promise

    Hello all.
    Here is the configuration I'm trying to set up (and almost did)
    SI 875P Neo FIS2R,MS-6758 BIOS v2.4
    P4 2.6 GHz HT
    500W 6fan total
    2x1G Kit DDR 400
    2x74 G WD Raptor Raid0 (Intel S1-2) Win XP inst
    2x36 G WD Raptor Raid0 (Promise S3-4)
    GeCube X1600Pro
    DVD-RW (IDE 2 )
    Win XP SP2 (All latest updates installed)
    I followed the instructions as they are listed in the sticky (great job btw) and configured the 2 SATA 74G WD Raptor on Intel Raid controller(serial1&2) as Raid0 and install WindowsXP Prof sp 2 on it.
    Then I configured the  2 SATA 36G WD Raptor on Promise controller(serial3&4) as Raid0 and added this  Raid to the  existing WindowsXP installation.
    This set up is working very good once I'm logged into Windows with no problems at all.
    The glitch is that I need 3 min waiting time till I see the windows loading logo.
    I have all the latest drivers installed also IAA and INFs and my bios is as the default values except the changes mentioned in the sticky
    Onboard Promise IDE - as Raid
    ON-Chip IDE Configuration:
    Native Mode
    SATA Only
    Keep SATA Active - Yes
    Keep PATA Active - Yes
    PATA Channel selection - Both
    Configure SATA as Raid - Yes
    I did the Win XP installation twice till now, taking care to install INFs and drivers in the right order but the result is the same...3-5 mins till I have a fully operational windows environment and after that all is running like a dream.
    Now, I've searched in the forum and saw that many more people have the same problem but never read the solution to it, so if someone has ever found the way to solve this or has the same configuration please tell me how he did it. Even if someone knows that it can't be solved just drop me a line telling me so. Altough the system is running smoothly I find the 3 min waiting time unacceptable and frustrating. I've run out of ideas so please help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Blazer and thank you for replying.
    Answering one at a time...
    are both raid arrays setup with the same stripe size?--> Yes Both arrays are configured at 16k stripes
    do you see both the intel and the promise bios setup screens?-->Yes both screens (Intel(R) RAID... and Fast Built (tm) ...)appear almost instantly after MSI's logo screen showing my Raid arrays in Normal status. The delay starts after the Promise's screen till the Windows Loading logo screen.
    how is the raid bootable drive identified in the boot from menu?-->
    Boot Device Priority:
    1st    BBS-0 (Raid): Intel <name>  (---> this is the OS drive on Intel controller)
    2nd   Disabled
    3rd    Disabled
    Try other boot devices  NO
    I have also the option to select the the Drive on Promise which shows as BBS-1 (Raid) FT 378  Ary 1  but I have left it out cause it doesn't have the OS on it.
    is the OS drive labeled as C: and seen as 200GB drive [as one] from the four drive array]--> No as it shouldn't cause these are two different Raid Arrays. The first Raid on Intel's controller with the 2x74G WD Disks indeed shows as one C: 137 G and has the OS on it. The second on Promise controller with 2x36G WD Disks also shows as one D: 70G.These are two separate Arrays with 2 disks each and they show as indented.
     is network boot enabled causing a delayed boot?--> I don't quit understand what you mean. In case you mean what happens  if I unplug the 2 disks from the promise controller then yes if I do that the system boots fast in the Windows even if I leave the Bios setting "configure promise as raid"!!!
    My problem is similar with this post: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=69994.0

  • 875P NEO FIS2R problems with booting at power-up

    Having problems with booting at power-up.
    Recently, with no apparent modification to system - at power up the system will often not boot.  About 80% of time systems seems to go into a loop with CD/DVD drive light blinking a few times, then the floppy drive light comes on and can hear the FDD run – within 30 seconds or so, this process starts over again.  Power switch LED is on and HDD LED is on (continuously).  All fans are running (power supply fan, case fan, CPU fan and Intel Canterwood 875 fan ).
    Monitor power on light is in power save mode (amber) when system does not boot.  When boot is successful the monitor power light turns green immediately.
    After pressing the reset button several times (varies between pressing reset button 1 time to 30 or more times) system will then boot OK or go into set up.
    Once running there is no apparent problem.
    This mainboard comes with D Bracket containing 2 USB 2.0 ports, and 4 diagnostics LEDs - when boot problem occurs the diagnostic LEDs, give a code that in the MSI mainboard manual states “Initializing Keyboard Controller” and diagnostic LEDs stays in this mode until via reset button provides a successful boot and start up.
    Have reseated all connectors.

  • Satellite L755 died after a Bios update

    My laptob was working great but i just found a bios update in toshiba site.
    I updated it and had an error then i restarted but my laptob did not start up.
    The power light is on and/the fan is spinning but the scrren is off.
    Please help me fixing the bios.
    My laptob is sattellite l755-16l
    How Can i reflash the bios in this case ?

    Hi
    Im afraid something went wrong during the BIOS update.
    The BIOS update procedure is a sensitive process and possibly the Rom module has not been flashed properly.
    In your case there is only one real solution; you need to get in contact with local Toshiba ASP. The guys should check the motherboard and should try to reflash the BIOS using the BIOS crisis disk.

  • Re: Satellite A200-1AX doesn't boot after BIOS update

    Hello all!
    I wanted to install XP on a Satellite A200-1AX.
    So I tried to update the Bios to the version that supports XP.
    When I tried to install it, Vista crashed and now the laptop won't even turn on.
    When I keep the power button pressed, the fan wheezes but nothing else happens.
    I think the BIOS is gone or corrupted.
    What do I do?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    What to say buddy. Looks like something went wrong during the BIOS update procedure Possibly the BIOS was not written correctly and the ROM module must be flashed again using a special procedure and tool.
    In such case you can do nothing you have to contact the ASP in your country for a fix!!!
    Dont waste a time and ask an authorized service technician for a help.
    Good luck and best regards
