Hi Im having real issues trying to locate the original bios for a Advent 5421 laptop. Heres my situation. I wish to flash this laptop with a updated bios which enables auto wifi on boot up instead of having to continually switch wifi on using the FN + F10 keys afer much searching I located this updated bios and Im ready to go. However I thought it would be sensible to have a original bios backup just in case ! However tracking this down is proving to be almost impossible Ive tried Gericom and Uniwell the original manufacturers and they both appear to have removed the bios files from download ? ( cant think why ? ) Obviously the techguys site or whatever it now is called is a no go ( no surprise ? ) alas I understand that it is not actually possible to make yor own back up of this particular phoenix bios so I am stuck and dont really want to risk the updated flash without being able to have a back up bios in case of failure ! Can anybody suggest some help? regards
If I use phlash 16 will it offer me the chance to back up the original bios before I flash the new one ? anybody ? thanks in advance
