I think the gpu has failed again, if the bios was dead you would get no beeps, it is the bios that generates the hardware failure beeps.
Home brew reflows generally do not last too long or can cause more damage.
The reason the gpu comes loose on most of that vintage was due to 2 problems
1. Overheating
2. Poor quality solder used when the gpu and other motherboard components were flowed at the factory.
Reflowing it does not always work because of the quality of the ball solder they used, also you only get one reflow attempt, doing more than one weakens the original solder even more. Most likely the seller reflowed it shortly before selling it to you.
Proper repair is what is called a reball (solder replacement) of the gpu, not may repair facilities have the equipment to performed this, and is usually expensive procedure depending on the motherboard design.

  • BIOS Flash Update Utility "Failed to Read BIOS"

    As the title says. 
    The computer has been flakey on startup recently, so I want to update the BIOS. 
    I run the Thinkpad BIOS Flash Update Utility on my Thinkpad Yoga, it returns an error saying "failed to read the BOS". 
    Can anyone suggest a work around?

    I am told that the update burn down the motherboard    looks like a serious update
    those who are going to do a bios update should think twice... I have done it a million times before.. never had a problem.
    the worst part : I have a 160GB intel ssd that I bought to use with the new w510 is sitting idle on my desk.
    ABOVE ALL , I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE WARRENTY SERVICE TO REPLACE THE PARTS AND SEND IT BACK TO ME...
    I can't believe that I am going through this.. I am like a handycapped these days.
    I ordered this laptop three months ago when it was introduced, by the time I ordered it went out of stock... I had to  wait three whole months to get the laptop. I didn't even use it. 

  • BIOS flash update to W510 = dead laptop

    Hi ...
       I just did an update to the BIOS flash that is given in the updates section of w510 ( windows utility ) upon sucessful update it asked for restart. Nothing happens just black screen. If I press 'Power ON" then it checks the capslock and some other lights but nothing on the screen, then it restarts itself a coupleof times then the thrid time it just stay on powered... CPU fan is running like crazy.
    Brand new laptop... got it yesterday... was installing win7 ultimate and then installed drivers from lenovo site and on BIOS flash update "BOOM"
    Is there anything I can do now to make it run again, or do I have to go and give it to the tech support guys ??

  • Where does the manditory CF10 update needed to be copied to?

    We are running ColdFusion 10,282462 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) server.  There are several updates waiting to be downloaded and installed.  Before I can install these updates I need to download and install a manditory update.  I have downloaded the manditory update, but I am not sure where on our server that I need to copy the files included in the cf10_mdt_updt folder which I downloaded from your website.  Where do I copy the downloaded files to on our server?

    The file I downloaded was downloaded with the following filename cf10_mdt_updt.zip.  I then ran an extract all and saved the extracted files to a folder called cf10_mdt_updt.  I then copied the folder with the extracted files to the following folder c:\ColdFusion10\jre\bin.  I then ran Command Prompt as Administrator and got the error message shown below.

  • Where does the CS5 Automatic Update put temporary files?

    I am getting the same error that I see other people have had.  When I try to download and install CS5 updates using the automatic updater, I am told that the download failed and that I should try again later.  My guess is that one of the files was damaged in the download, and that it chokes each time it tries to open it.  I suspect that the "fix" is to delete all of the downloaded and temporary files and to start over, but I don't know where they are.  Anybody know?  Thanks.

  • Why does the latest flash update automatically install Mcafee?

    Just wondering why I can't opt out of installing unwanted software when updating flash player?
    For reference:
    - I turned on my computer and was faced with a regular looking flash player box that stated an update was available.
    - I clicked the "update" button and was taken to the following page: https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_13_for_Other_Browsers& os=Windows%207&browser_type=Gecko&browser_dist=Firefox&a=McAfee_Security_Scan_Plus_FireFox _Browser&dualoffer=false&type=au&browser_vers=28 (yes it mentions Mcafee in the address, but only the address. No warning whatsoever on the actual webpage. I wasn't aware that it would automatically install Mcafee without asking).
    - I saved the update, then ran it (there were no checkboxes at all to opt out of Mcafee, it just installed it).
    Not particularly happy at having unwanted software installed with no real warning, and no opt out available.

    That one goes back three updates ago, and http://forums.adobe.com/message/4315988  goes back two years...
    This has been an ongoing thing. There is an updater that blindly installs McAfee and another that installs Google Chrome and Toolbar. People have been complaining about it for years, and it doesn't change, and it won't change.
    I'm not being condescending, and I'm not trying to lecture you on this. I'm just stating the facts. If there had been any intent on anyone's part to do something about it, posts like this wouldn't pop up here every month and a half, like clockwork.
    It's the number one reason we post the FULL installer links. Because they have NOTHING IN THEM but the Flash Player plug-in.
