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

New Bios update for S10e compatible with original S10?

I saw on S10lenovo that they said the fan problem is now fixed with the new bios, so it runs at a low speed all the time instead of going on and off(which is quite annoying). I was wondering if the bios update is compatible with the original S10? if not, then when will the original S10's bios update be available? Thanks!

If your not familiar with bios updates, be very careful. Make sure your 100% positive its the proper one and it works, flashing an incorrect bios will essentially cripple your system.

S10 / S10e drivers and BIOS update interchangeable?

Hello,
there is the Lenovo Quick Start for Windows XP - IdeaPad S9e and S10e did any S10 user try to install that. For installation it requires at least BIOS version 14CN45tt. Does the BIOS update of the S10e work for the S10 and do all other drivers of the S10e work for the S10?
Thanks for sharing any experience

I don't think QuickStart will work due to the fact that there's a splashtop on S10e and not S10, and people are still trying to figure a way to get it. Bios update however, is interchangable. I already updated my S10 with S10e's bios. I did see "some" improvements, but a very small margin. Lenovo still needs to fix the fan issue that is haunting more than half of its user.

Bios update failure - bios image needed - lenovo S10-3

hello!
i`m in big trouble now
I just have reinstalled win7 and thought that i have to install the driver AND to do a bios update. I dont know why, but now my netbook can't start up (display is off, blackscreen).
Now i read some threads how to recover the bios, BUT i dont have a bios image (oh god, i am so stupid...).
Is there any possibility to solve this problem? Maybe by getting a bios image from a other S10-3 user?
Btw, my lenovo has the Atom N550, 1GB DDR3 Ram.
Please help me. I am thankful for any advice.

hi sasa22

Ideapad S10-3 Model 0647 bios update failure, recovery possible?

I have downloaded and installed the latest bios version 37 (2acn37ww.exe).
The flashing tool indicated success and has stored a backup of the old bios.
But, after reboot the screen stays black.
In this forum similar problems have been discussed, but none of the presented procedures did help.
Has anyone successfully recovered the bios of an Ideapad S10-3 Model 0647?
If there is a solution to the problem, please advice me.
Greetings from Germany

Hi and welcome,,
did you upgrade memory ? If you did .. upgrade ... insert original memory .. try to start your s10-3 machine
..press F2 to access bios, then press F9 and load default settings in order to get machine works properly after new bios update. Lenovo cannot guarantee compatibilty with all memory manufacturers and modules..
...shut down and re-insert mem upgrade ...try to start ...
if you did no memory upgrade ...
call your local service

Win 7 Pro 64bit - BIOS Update Failure 2ACN37WW

G'day Genlemen,
I am upgrading to 2g RAM and need to update my BIOS. However I am not able to get the program to run from Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I am trying to install 2ACN37WW.exe
When I open the program as administator it pops up for a second and disappears, I've tried running it in compatibility mode which doesn't help.
Do I need to be using a 32bit OS for the 2ACN37WW.exe to run in Windows? I have followed the txt instructions exactly.
Is there another way I can update to 2ACN37WW outside of Windows? Like the Thinkpad T serious CD BIOS update method?
IdeaPad S10-3 (064757M)

Thanks,
Smack

Please somebody help to solve this problem.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had exactly the same problem with the new BIOS flash and couldn't seem to install it either. A 'Google' search threw up these forums and I noticed the issue seemed to be fairly recent.
So I did what the others suggested - downloaded the BIOS update 'exe' file and restarted my S10-3c and it failed to run!
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Then I downloaded the same file and (erroneously I must add) I saved into the same folder as the earlier BIOS update file, which had similar problems.
I didn't restart, just double clicked on the 'exe' file and voila! It WORKS!!!!
The solution is to download the earlier "amifldrv32.sys" file, and follow the same instructions. The instructions are:
1) Download the "amifldrv32.sys" file (a quick Google search will help you locate the file)
2) Save the file into a specially named folder (ex. BIOS Flash)
3) Download the BIOS update 'exe' file from the lenovo site and save it in the same folder as the "amifldrv32.sys" file.
4) Follow the appropriate instructions on the download site to prep your machine for a BIOS flash
5) Double click the 'exe' file and wait a moment or two - you'll see the utility pop up and begin its work
6) On the restart, press the F2 key and you'll be able to see the new BIOS version / or restart and log in as normal and run the "msinfo32" command in the 'Run' box and check the system summary/BIOS version
Oh! Don't forget to thank me
Mod/Admin - if others respond that this solved the problem can we mark it as a 'Solution'?
And how can the Lenovo folks know that the "amifldrv32.sys" is a problem they need to rectify for future updates?
And all - compliments of the season, a happy new year and all that

Pavilion dv6235nr bricked by BIOS "update"

Recently I was working on a dv6235nr, whose BIOS had not been updated since the machine was purchased in 2007. Naturally, I thought it should be perfectly safe to install the most recent BIOS, version F.2E, dated 12 April 2010. And it should have been safe. Until now, I have never, ever, had a single problem with manufacturer-supplied BIOS updates on any other computer, media player, or any device.
But HP's buggy "update" destroyed my machine. While the BIOS reflash completed normally, the machine is now completely useless. Upon powerup, the fan spins, the display remains blank, and there is a pattern of excessively loud beeps through the built-in speakers.
The pattern of beeps is "one long, two short," which I have read elsewhere might indicate a defective graphics device. That seems really unlikely, as the machine only has built-in Intel GMA graphics. Nothing happened to it that should have caused a hardware failure. I cannot convince myself that the Intel GMA chipset somehow spontaneously failed right after a BIOS update. The timing is just too suspicious.
Things I already tried:
-HP's "hard reset" procedure did nothing.
-Well, there's really nothing else I can try, since the machine won't even get as far as POST.
The evidence suggests that HP's defective "update" bricked my machine. How do I fix it?
Is there some way to put an older firmware on a USB stick or SD card and re-flash it to BIOS without being able to see anything?

This appears to be similar to what happened to my S10. See this post

N500 bios update Windows 7 not working

I've tried to run the winflash utility from Lenovo support to update N500 to v1.10, but it says it can't load the driver once I have started the flashing. Running as administrator and in compatibility mode doesn't change it. Is it possible to flash the bios with a DOS startup? The bios is in a wph format and not bin in the winflash package.

bios update is for vista, not windows 7.

Msi z97 gaming 5 bios update help

Hello I recently purchased the msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard. It was working fine it came with bios version 1.0 and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest 1.5 bios from msi website copied to usb flash drive and flashed it using mflash. Computer powers on but black screen wont do nothing. I cleared cmos and battery and still nothing so I am pretty sure its bricked. I am going to store to exchange it for another one but I want to be able to safely update the bios without bricking again. I usually dont update bios unless needed but i need at least 1.2 bios to fully support the devils canyon cpu. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I read about the usb flashing tool in forum but also read that bios+me need to be flashed and I don't know if that program is up to date and will flash both files? I really appreciate it if someone helped thanks in advance.

Also does anyone know if it is dangerous to update the bios with a 4690k devils canyon cpu since it is not officially supported until 1.2? Is that why my first bios flash was bricked? I would hate to go and borrow another cpu just to update the bios but if I have to I will. Sorry for all the questions but I need to get my bios updated and I will not update it until I am sure of all these things. Thanks to anyone who answers these questions.

However if you need BIOS update prior to have some RAM or GPU working fine (or other stuff), then maybe consider updating to 1.6 and then to 1.9 and finally to 1.B (1.11). I suggest using MFlash (files can be downloaded on MSI's product site, instructions should be included). For Forum Flash tool you need proper files provided (usually) by Svet or Flobelix.
Before attempting to flash, make sure your system is stable!
I downloaded BIOS 1,5 and 1,6 and in both cases i have same issue it stucks on 100% on M-Flash, after this I can normaly shut down pc and it work but witch 1.4 BIOS. I just want know whyi can;t
updtate.
