S10-3t Bios recovery procedure.

Hi 
I've try many different procedures that I found over Internet. Nothing really worked for me, and I think nobody really published correct. 
Here is well described procedure but didn't worked for me:
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/2105-BIOS​-Recovery-procedures?p=350262&viewfull=1#post35026​...
Could somebody verify that procedure is correct, or pass correct one?
Recovery procedures for s10, mini, ... didn't work also.

  • BIOS Recovery procedure for Satellite A505-S6005 PSAT6U. How I do it?

    Hi there!
    I have a Toshiba A505-S6005 PSAT6U and have an update corrupted while update the BIOS of my laptop.
    Since that time my laptop overheated and I want to lower it to version 1.3, ie the above that worked well.
    During the upgrade process, my laptop was turned off and then started, but too hot.
    What would be the process of recovering a BIOS in case of crisis, not boot after updating the BIOS?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards.

  • S10-3S: BIOS Update issue - Recovery procedure possible ?

    Dear all,
    yesterday i flash the new Bios  "LM30_0128 / 38CN11WW" into my S10-3S (Memory compatibility Bios)
    under Windows 7-Home 32Bit.
    The Bios routine runs and after a while, the Ideapad booting self. But now, i only see a black screen after
    PowerSwitch on. No Bios beep. No Infos. Nothing ! Only the 3left LEDs are white ! The Screen is death !
    So i research the Lenovo Forums about to fixing this.
    I found a lot of Informations about the BIOS Recovery Procedure and try different versions about that.
    I create the "Crisis" Emergency Floppy /USB Stick with the Files inside the "LM30_0128.exe". No Problems !
    I try USB Floppy and USB Stick but nothing happens if i press the different Keyboard Combinations:
    FN+F, FN+R, FN+ESC, FN+B, Windows+F, Windows+R, Windows+ESC, Windows+B . No access
    to floppy or USB Stick ! No Boot Process. Nothing !
    Knows anybody the Keyboard Code to go inside the Bios Recovery Process ?
    Thanks you very much

    [Solved]
    Fixed it!
    So for everyone with same model and same problem: It turns out this bios really don't boot-block. So failed bios = paperweight brick without recovery options.
    But this is how I solved mine. Bought a SPI programmer, ic test clip (soic8) , some wires and made adapter to connect clip ind programmer. Had some problems , and had also to modify downloaded bios since I didnt have good backup but after little playing it fired right up. If you have good backed up rom, flashing should be easier. This is solution for those with more technical skills , but much easier than soldering the chip.

  • 875P Neo FIS2R BIOS RECOVERY

    Has anyone tried (I should say needed to try) the BIOS recovery feature for this board?
    I've probably flashed my motherboard 10-15 times this week trying different settings and combos.  I got my new Kingston HyperX 3500 1GB Dual DDR434 kit and started re-tweaking my machine.  Finally after using 1.74 for two days, it just would fail to boot.  Powers up, but no POST.  Resetting CMOS, and all other tricks failed.  I even tried putting back in my Samsung CAS-3 memory to see if it would boot up.  No go.
    I tried the BIOS recovery procedure as follows.  Rename your bios to AMIBOOT.ROM and put on a disk.  Hold CTRL-HOME to force the flash.  Well I tried this about 20 times, using different floppies, drives, and cables until I was ready to throw the board in the recycle bin.  
    I decided that I would give it one last try about 2am this morning.  I tried using the 1.74 BIOS as the recovery ROM, instead of the BIOS I wanted to replace it with.  Worked like a charm.  I don't know if the bootblock of the BIOS is different or what, but maybe it will help others unfortunate enough to suffer the same tragedy and kill their 875P Neo.
    I am back up and running with v1.5 which seems most stable to me versus the other revs and I've tried them all three times or more (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.32b, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.74b).  And although I am not able to eek out any more mhz from the box, I can run tighter timings and the system gaining about 400 points in 3dMark2001.  And it DEFINITELY seems more stable than ever.  But I'm sure it's just my imagination  :P

    Yeah ive been considering going back to 1.5 to get rid of the crappy performance option (unstable overclock on the AGP/PCI and graphics card)
    Does 1.5 enable PAT? ...i never managed to test this myself (Its the only option i need from performance modes)
    I havent had the pleasure of the recovery mode yet (touch wood) ...and good job on making it back!!  :D

  • Presario CQ61 BIOS Recovery

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with a Presario CQ61-410 SV laptop. The laptop powers up, fan starts but screen remains black and I get caps lock and num lock leds blinking twice suggesting a BIOS corruption.
    I browsed the Internet and read many forums here and there trying to recover the BIOS via a USB flash disk.
    My HDD is replaced so the USB is the one way to go.
    My first problem is that the links in the official HP support page seem to be all wrong.
    The BIOS download provided here
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=gr&dlc=el&sw_lang=&product=4099...
    has a BIOS for my laptop but it clearly states that it is for an Intel processor.Problem is that the CQ61-410SV has an AMD processor.
    However, I did download the provided file for the BIOS. I extracted it and got the .fd file that is supposed to be the one that needs to be flashed. I copied the file to a USB flash disk that had previously prepared withe the provided HP UEFI tool. I tried putting the file into the BIOS folders "Current" and "Previous" in the USB flash disk and powered on the laptop holding the windows key + B combination. The laptop did read from the USB returned some beeps, rebooted but then got the same bios corruption failure. I tried putting the .fd file to the root of the USB, tried changing the extension to .bin, tried different names for the files (as some posts through the Internet suggest)m I even tried different combinations of all of the above. The laptop does read from the USB disk and returns some beeps ( I even got 20 beeps) but then the problem persists. I even tried previous BIOS versions from the HP official support which also state that they are for intel processors.
    So the questions are:
    1. Are the HP links wrong? Has HP messed up their links or is it just a typo?
    2. If we assume that the downloaded BIOS file from HP is fine, what should be its name and extension (after extracted from the .exe file I get a .fd file) and where in the USB flash disk should I put it.
    3. Which is the proper BIOS recovery procedure for the Presario CQ61-410SV
    Thank hoy everybody in advance.

    It is either a typo _Or the BIOS files are wrong. I will try to get someone to check for accuracy.

  • BIOS Recovery - M300-030

    Hello,
    I have an M300-030 (PSMD8C-030000K), attempted to do a BIOS update, system froze, and the BIOS is corrupt.
    When powering on the laptop, it attempts to read from the optical drive, but gives up after a few seconds. It appears to be attempting a BIOS recovery procedure, and is looking for a crisis recovery disk.
    Does anyone know the steps to make a proper disk? I think it's a matter of setting the file name of the downloaded BIOS to something specific, and maybe having some supporting files there. I already googled and attempted what I could find; no luck so far. And it has to be a CD or flash drive (not floppy), because the BIOS is 2MB.
    Thanks

    If you can't get anywhere with this try calling Toshiba. Demand to speak with a higher manager than the person answering the phone. Also, as a last resort, aqstech.com can do the repair for about $100 + shipping.

  • BIOS recovery for G555

    Hi everyone, I'm new in the forum. I know that this subject has been treated here before, but I must insist since anything seems to work for me.
    The details: I turn it on, power led and wifi led turns on, but the screen remains blank.
    I've read and tried the BIOS recovery procedures posted here, but with no result.
    Without battery nor AC cable, connect the USB pendrive, press Fn + R (or B), connect the AC cable (in that moment the power led and the battery led blink for half a second), press power button, the fan turns on at max speed and remains in that state indefinitely and the disk led blinks for half a second.
    No beeps, no nothing.
    I suspect that the problem is in the creation of the recovery disk. Or I'm missing something related to key pressing, or plug connection.
    Does anyone succeeded with this... thing? I would appreciate the experience.
    Thanks.

    Hi luchovl2,
    I’d like to help you with the issue that you’re facing and as I can understand from you that there is no display on the screen so I need to ask you when you turn on the machine and keep pressing on F2 can we access the BIOS,
    And also please make sure that the brightness isn’t at the lowest level so the display is dimmed,
    And if still the same kindly check the below contact numbers for the service support:

  • TS140 BIOS recovery

    After failed BIOS upgrade I tried to follow the "Recovering from a BIOS update failure" chapter from TS140 Hardware Maintenance Manual:
    downloaded bios_ts140-240-440-540_fbkt99a_dos.zip and unpacked the files onto a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive (non bootable)
    plugged the drive in
    moved the maintenance jumper to the 2-3 position
    plugged in the power cord
    On power up the server accesses the flash drive (its LED lights up shortly) then produces 2 short beeps. There is no video output.
    What am I missing?
    the disk needs to be formatted in a certain way? or BIOS image file needs to have a certain name? I just tried with the original IMAGEFB.ROM in the root folder of the disk. Does the recovery procedure expect any keys pressed on the keyboard?

    What you've done is exactly what should happen. There will be no output from the video. Once you hear the the two beeps, continue to wait several minutes. The system is performing the recovery. It will reboot on its own after the recovery is complete.

  • Bios recovery for K8N NEO V2.0 MS-7030 VER 3.0

  • MS-6702 (K8t neo) Flashed but now nothing, bios recovery doesn't work!!

     
    I updated my bios to the latest one a few weeks back and have been having problems with setting my apeture size to 256 (Noticed a few other people have too here!)
    So I reverted the bios back to the one before which I never had any problems with and now my board appears dead 
    I get no post screen and the optical drives all constantly seek for some strange reason, I've since unattached everything apart from my agp card, ram, processor and floppy drive in a bid to get bios recovery to work. Sadly it doesn't even try to read the floppy and just sits there feeling sorry for itself.
    The LED bracket stays at 4 red lights but nothing else happens. I've had this rig for over 5 months so I know it's not the components before anyone suggests it.
    This is doing my head in, thanks MSI firstly for releasing a buggy bios and secondly for killing my board
    PLEASE HELP

    Have you tried clearing CMOS?
    If that doesn't work your board is probably beyond recall.  You have two choices:
    1. Try to RMA it to MSI or your vendor.
    2. Replace the BIOS chip
    I have used (2) on several occasions with other vendor's systems.  This works if the chip is socketed.  I use BIOSFLASH.COM (http://biosflash.com/) - you have to ID your chip, tell them what you have, pay some money and e-mail them a copy of the binary you want programmed.  They have a well-documented procedure on their website.
    I would recommend getting at least two chips - one known good and one with the latest BIOS.  That way you can recover from another problem like this one.
    Looking at the example K8T Neo2 ATX board on MSI's site the BIOS is socketed but that may not be true of yours.  I have a K8MM-ILSR with a soldered BIOS here, so not all their BIOS chips are socketed.
    BTW, which method of flashing did you use?  From DOS, I hope...running a BIOS flash from Windows is a recipe for disaster (that's why I know about BIOSFLASH.COM)

  • HP Bios Recovery works...so​rta

    Hi everybody
    I'm pretty certain I've exhausted all options, but any input on otherwise unknown procedures would be welcome!
    Ok, so from the beginning.
    HP 15-d004AU notebook. The original HDD fails, so I (groan at HP designers ) disassemble the unit to install and new one. No problem, Windows 8.1 is installing nicely and the job is all but finished. I think to myself do a BIOS update because, why not right?
    So I grab the latest offering, version F10.A and start installing the Windows version. Computer restarts and boom, black lit screen.
    Because the HP_TOOLS partition went with the old HDD, I run the BIOS file on another computer to create a BIOS recovery USB key and after some buggering about I get a recovery running using the Win key and B combo. The BIOS recovery screen finally appears and the BIOS blocks look like they're being recovered as one might expect. At the end of the procedure, a time out appears with a Restart button which seems ot indicate everything is finished and successful. After a restart however, a black lit screen and nothing else. No POST.
    I have been recovered both versions of the BIOS for this model multiple times and no joy. I have even performed discharge procedures (remove battery, hold power button 30 seconds etc) which does not help. So before I declare "prognosis brick", has anybody else seen this issue and know what else could be performed to assist?

    Hi @corigins1 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP 15-d004au Notebook PC and issues with an update BIOS not going well. I would restart the Notebook a few times as sometimes the changes have not taken yet.
    You could restore the BIOS to original defaults with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which could resolve the issue. It forces the unit to check the hardware.
    I hope this helps.

  • 890FXA-GD70 BIOS Recovery Requested.

    Hello Forum
    I just put together a brand new system using the 890FXA-GD70 Motherboard and I have serious problems.
    Occasionally the system will freeze and crash.
    I will tell my story in order of how this began and all steps I have performed
    While in the bios I attempted to change my boot order.  As soon as I changed the device the bios froze.   I started the computer back up
    No screen input.
    Reset button does nothing.  System does nothing.
    After about 10 reboots with bios resetting and such  I eventually got a message
    “BIOS Recovery Requested”  insert USB…
    I tried to reboot a few times
    Sometimes I would get the bios recovery requested message
    Most times I would get nothing
    Eventually I inserted a CF card with a bios image on it
    Exact bios image on the MSI site  without changing the file name
    The system would scroll the BIOS recovery message over and over until it rebooted
    Said it disabled recovery just before it shut down
    The machine now boots fine up till I need to start windows and it does not
    So I restart and go through the whole problem over again and this time I restore the bios using the built in flash utility in the BIOS  I believe its MFLASH
    After the flash and a bios settings reset, windows boots but the whole problem starts over again after trying to do something intensive.
    So I re do everything as this is becoming normal procedure dealing with the system freezing in windows or in the bios (randomly in the bios  nothing specifically triggers it)
    (everything as in reboot the system till I get the recovery message  put the flash card in and wait till it disables recovery   go into bios and re-flash it)
    My last step was I flashed a fresh bios with MFLASH
    and then did a memory test with microsofts ram test software outside of windows.  That froze about 7% in and caused the system to beep non stop.
    And I’m back to start.  System does not boot, get the bios recovery message if I’m lucky.
    No over-clocking is setup  and I use optimal (Auto) settings.
    All problems occurs with either ram stick   either paired or alone
    Here is my equipment
    Motherboard : MSI 890FXA-GD70
    CPU : AMD|PH II X6 1100T 3.3G AM3 With OEM Heatsink and fan
    PSU : CORSAIR|CMPSU-650TX 650W
    RAM : 2Gx2|GSKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GB
    HD : WD Black SATA 2 1TB 7200RPM 32MB cache
    Video Card : GeForce 7950 512 mb with PCI-E power conencted
    OS : Windows 7 Pro 64  (legit fresh install)
    Other Details
    USB keyboard Merc Stealth , Microsoft USB Intili Mouse , Internal 5 Port USB cardreader,
    Liteon USB cdrom drive
    Monitor is a 52 inch LCD TV using DVI input on a 25 foot cord on max video card resolution when permited 1080
    Im guessing this is not a ram or cpu problem but the bios chip may be defective  and when the system loses the bios it freezes
    otherwise why would i get bios checksum errors and recovery prompts after each freeze.
    Please advise  this is brand new and i should not have something defective this soon.

    After spending 12-14 hours on the problem i can now safely give a detailed report of the problem
    Disregard what i said before as they were just symptoms of another problem
    It boots 100% stable if DIMM slots 1 2 and 3 are empty
    it does not matter the make or model of the ram in slot 4 but the system boots and works flawlessly.
    I ran extensive tests with prime 95 and memory tests.  It works flawlessly in this configuration.
    As soon as a stick of ram goes into any other slot  either singular or dual channel the board does a rapid boot cycle
    this constant power on and off if left too long corrupts the bios settings
    bios setting problem is rectified by putting one stick of ram into dimm 4 and letting it reset itself in a stable enviorment
    also while the system is stable i used the MSI software to check all the voltages and everything appeared normal
    However
    if i make the system boot with standard memory configuration  such as one in DIMM 1  or 1+2  i get odd voltage readings
    (extremely unstable if im lucky enough to get it to boot)
    the NB voltage quickly fluctuates between 1.15  and 1.7+ every min or so  like if there are micro spikes in voltage
    While this happens the 2 lights next to the slots indicating i believe the dram power phase blink
    But
    When i only put a ram stick into DIMM 4 only one light for the powerphase is lit and it is stable
    So this so far is not a corrupt BIOS chip to me but rather a symptom of another problem
    I have another CPU coming in the mail tommorow  I will test it out along with a few other boards
    a 1090T
    2 890fxa-gd70's and some others
    If i have a hardware problem it will surely be singled out
    I will find out what the problem is with this board and post my result.
    If anyone has any suggestions to make this board work please comment
