    Re: help me guyz to update my bios.

    Many BIOS are updated through Win Flash. Your new processor will most likely boot up your system so you can flash it through Windows.

    An alternative is using a USB floppy drive.

    The manufacturers have removed floppies so they can save a dime, but this is seriously stupid. If you support computer systems for a living, you should already have a USB floppy (and USB cdrom).

    You can build a DOS bootable flash disk, but this is more diddling around. Buy or borrow a USB floppy drive. Painless.. cheap.. easy.

      or lug in ATA or SATA you have spare around around that simply boots to DOS or clean install of XP with flash utility and do the flash.

        Help Disabling Flash Protection Range Registers on Lenovo P360 Tiny BIOS
        by abhorsen
        Hey guys,

        Hope you all are doing well. I come here from Win-Raid because I am having issues disabling Flash Protection Range Registers so I can flash my BIOS from within Windows using Intel's IFW tool/using flashrom within Linux, however I cannot due to the above mentioned error.

        Here is my thread on Win-Raid detailing the whole process I went through: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/re...h-gen/95478/27

        Essentially I managed to boot into Windows while shorting PINs 1+5 of my audio chip to disable the HAP bit...

        HP Folio 1040 G1 corrupted bios - new bios flash, unable to update DMI
        by Kashi1712
        Hello all,

        I'm facing a strange issue, I do have my old bios where i can find some information about the laptop SN, build and so on for the DMI encoding.

        I did flash a new bios on the laptop and i have tried all the tools found everywhere on this forum and other forums but i'm unable to update all DMI info in the BIOS. I still get an error saying "Warning: Machine is not in committed state".

        Could somebody guide me on this or maybe help? I'm really hoping to find a way out of this bios thing...

        Update bios EFCN58WW to EFCN59WW
        by al3m0di
        Update bios EFCN58WW to EFCN59WW for solving The Connected AC adapter has a lower wattage than the recommended AC adapter




        I have a Lenovo Legion 5 15imh05a device that I bought used online. It came with a 20V 8.5A 170W charger.

        The BIOS version is EFCN58WW.

        When I turn on the device, it displays the message:
        "The Connected AC adapter has a lower wattage than the recommended AC adapter..."

        The device rarely charges the battery, and even when it does, it doesn't show that it's charging.

        I've tried

        Bricked bios from a bad flash/update in a case of NO BACKUP repair question
        by Shadowtuy
        So I'm new here and have successfully unlocked a bios using "RCUnlocker" but after that I'm curious on recovery of a bricked bios from a bad flash/update in a case of NO BACKUP.

        The part I'm stuck on is my HP backup are a 32,768KB and 16,384KB image compared to a fresh bios from HP at 23,690KB. How would I use the fresh image to repair a flash chip? The guide I'm following just takes the image and flashes it over but clearly there is more to it.

        Just looking to expand my knowledge of this since the password removal worked great. Sorry if I missed this being...

        HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb
        by iZakre
        Hello everybody!

        To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

        The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...
