    .FD BIOS file for AN515-56

    I’m trying to recover my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-56, which currently has a corrupted BIOS and won’t boot. I’ve searched Acer’s website and all I can find is the official BIOS update .exe file.

    Inside that .exe, I managed to extract a file called abobios.bin, but there is no .FD file available — the one needed for Acer Crisis Recovery.

    I’m looking for someone who has the original .FD BIOS file for this exact model, or any guidance on how to extract it safely from the official update.

      abobios.bin is a bios.

          I tried doing a bios crisis recovery (FN+ESC+POWER) with a usb that only had abobios.bin and nothing happened. Fans max speed and black screen for over 20minutes (USB activity LED solid not blinking).

              Unable to extract bios file from Lenovo bios exectuable
              by survivalbloke
              I'm trying to extract a flashable bios file(ch341a) from the lenovo bios executable download. I have tried the instructions from this site https://starkeblog.com/lenovo/uefi/2...pdate-exe.html, which are not working. According to those instructions, after issuing the command
              Code:
              "innoextract 7wcn38ww.exe"
              it should create an \app folder, inside which, I should find a newly created "7wcn38ww.exe" file. I should then be able to extract that using 7zip and find my .FD file.

              The trouble I'm having is that I'm not getting the newly...

              Unable to extract Lenovo BIOS file from installer
              by survivalbloke
              I'm working on a Lenovo LOQ 15APH8, Serial# MP2L9MAV. I want to flash a new BIOS onto it, but I'm also trying to learn this process for my own enrichment and professional development.

              I was watching some tutorials, copying the serial info blocks from the old bios to a new bios. Before that though, they use innoextract on the Lenovo .exe. I downloaded Innoextract v1.9 but it tells me my .exe is not a supported inno setup installer(see screenshot). So if I unpack this using 7zip, I do get a .ROM file, but according to my tutorials, I'm looking for a .FD file.

              How can...

              NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
              by Citymin
              Hi all,

              My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
              The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
              When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
              (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

              NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
              PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC

              Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
              by m1ch43lzm
              Hi everyone
              I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
              Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

              Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
              There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...

              Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
              by Forest79
              Hello,

              I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
              The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

              However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...
