    Issue wtih [crisis] BIOS recovery

    Hi,

    BIOS update bricked my laptop - after restart the was a prompt to Proceed with ROM flash or Abort. None of 2 options worked - upon restart the same prompt shown.

    I downloaded [BIOS update].exe file from Lenovo Support > extracted [firmware descriptor].fd file > renamed it to [correct crisis file name].bin.

    With crisis file on USB drive the Proceed with ROM option launches recovery - after displaying the current and the new BIOS version, the process terminated immediately with validation error:

    Not allow flash. Boot Guard version verification failed

    I found a similar issue fixed for another Lenovo model a month before my laptop's latest BIOS release date:

    Is there any chance that my corrupted BIOS could be recovered in the crisis mode if the manufacturer fixes the issue in the future BIOS release?

      Samsung Series 9 - BIOS issue
      by Kjell
      After installing Linux, I can no longer enter the BIOS of my Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3C) laptop. When pressing [F2] during boot I simply get a black screen. Same thing when pressing [F10] and choosing "Setup" from the "App Menu" tab. Apparently this is a relatively common issue with Samsung laptops of that generation, but unfortunately i haven't been able to resolve the issue (yet).

      Things i've tried so far; reinstalled Windows 10, checked for redundant boot entries, tried to factory reset using the emergency keyhole, attempted to clear the NVRAM by physically...

      Bricked Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 Need BIOS file for FN+R Crisis recovery
      by pcwhiz24
      Model: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 81W0
      S/N: PF2BZS7D

      I was having issues with this particular laptop where the NVME SSD would disappear and would not detect unless I took it out and reconnected it, then it would detect for only for a minute then disappear from BIOS. I figured updating the BIOS was worth a try so I booted into my HBCD USB and downloaded the latest BIOS file for that exact model. I ran the executable and everything went smooth, it beeped and then when it restarted, now it won't post, just black screen with fan spinning.

      I already have a CH341A programmer...

      PS5 EDM-031 1216A BIOS Issue
      by Syph1979
      Hi all. First post here, so I hope I'm getting this right and operating in the spirit of things here.

      I've been working on consoles for a while now. Always learning and trying new repairs, but I have one that has been stumped and I wondered if anyone with more experience could help?

      I picked up a PS5 from eBay recently. It was described as not having the disc drive, but it was also a no power unit. On testing it was clearly an issue with the supply (no 12v), so I replaced that and then when I inserted the power lead, I got 3 beeps. So far, seems all related. As I was...

      Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8 (RTX 4070) - Turns on for a few seconds then shuts off. BIOS issue.
      by riko 656
      Hello everyone,
      I need help with my Lenovo Legion laptop. It turns on for a few seconds and then immediately shuts down. I believe this is a BIOS corruption issue.
      Laptop Model:
      • Model: Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8
      • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
      • Main BIOS chip size: 32MB
      • VBIOS chip size: 16MB
      Problem Description: The laptop was working perfectly. Now, when I press the power button, the keyboard lights up and the laptop powers on for just a few seconds, then it shuts itself off completely. After researching, I am convinced it's a corrupt BIOS.
      What I Have Tried So Far:
      1. I

      Bios Request HP 17-CN0023DX
      by David Gee
      Hello,

      I am currently working on recovering my HP Laptop (Model: 17-cn0023dx) after a BIOS corruption issue. The laptop is stuck in a no-boot state, and the Caps Lock light is blinking with a 3.2 code (3 long, 2 short), which according to HP documentation indicates a BIOS corruption failure.

      I have prepared a USB stick using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool, but I confirmed that it does not include a BIOS recovery image for Crisis Recovery. I also attempted to extract the BIOS file from the spXXXXX BIOS update package provided on the HP Support site, but that update only provides...
