    Hi, I wonder if anyone could help with my "semi - bricked" HP board please?

    After a bad modded bios flash it says "cmos checksum error-defaults loaded" then gives you the option to press F1 to continue or F10 to enter setup..... either takes you to a blank screen (onboard graphics) or a blinking cursor (pci-e board). I have tried everything i have found on this thread and most of google. It is a HP DX2250 with a ms-7297 motherboard which has a Award Phoenix 6.00g bios. the chip is soldered in <grrrrrrrrr> i have even tried corrupting it more by shorting the pins.... but nothing seems to change it!

    Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated!

    TIA

    Dave

    Aspire 9300 problem!!!!

    I have an Acer Aspire 9304wsmi . When passed warranty became the problem. Laptop turned off the night and next morning when i try to turn on i hear 1 long beep and 2 shorts. Monitor was only black. I sent the laptop to a company for service and after 10 days laptop works perfect. 20 days later same problem. send again laptop for service. Again works perfect. 23 days later same problem. I decide to send again the laptop to this company for service. They told me that time was the last. After 23 days again the same problem.
    I decide to search in google for fixing. I read in a disassemble manual that this beeps are rom problem. Especially :
    Phoenix bios
    98h 1-2 Search for option ROMs. One long, two
    short beeps on checksum failure.


    How can restore the default (factory) bios???:confused::confused:

    Thanks for your time!!!!

    P.S. Sorry about my english!!! :eek::eek:

    3 days ago I tryed to update my laptop's bios (with windows 7) and my surprise was.. when I turn on my laptop it wasnt do it. The Leds go on, want to read something from cd reader but anything else.
    I've try with to much of methods, crisis disk... etc etc... I renamed de bios file a once and again, .bin, .rom, .wph, .fd. just first 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 leters of de name with diferents extensions (the original name of de file is QLXL3F22.fd) and I try with older (QLXL3C52.fd) from usb memory and cd-r.
    I can see when I hold "win"+"b" my laptop try to read for more time from external media (pendrive, cd reader), but nothing happend.
    waitting for a solution, thanks for all.

    PD.
    My laptop:
    LG R510
    Mod: K.AP54B
    BIOS: H2O Insyde

    So.. I'm sorry for my english.. I'm from Spain.:cool:

    The recovery can be made using Floppy, USB and CD/DVD.

    As far as I know, the methods that are available to you will depend on manufacturer settings. For instance, in my case, my BIOS only allows CD/DVD recovery (laptop).

    dadi26, you should read the first page... If your screen is blank it means you have no POST and if the PC is trying to boot you may have luck on recovering it.

    For what I was able to find you have a Phoenix BIOS so you need to follow those instructions on first page.

    Good Luck. ;)

    Hi, I have a HP G60-100EM Laptop to fix for a friend and it seems the bios is corrupt, I have had it booting so that the power LEDs are flashing by holding FN+F but it dosn't attempt to read from my USB floppy drive or USB stick. All it tries to read is the cd-rom but then just sits there with the power LEDs flashing and does nothing else. I did leave it on one day and came back and the laptop was on the boot screen saying the bios is corrupt press F1 to continue. Which I did and windows booted up fine. So I rebooted and its back to the same blank screen. Any help greatly appreciated

    Thanks for the reply Urie. Allow me to explain why my netbook is a brick: When I press the power button nothing happened than green LED is lit and CPU fan works. I had a similar situation with a AAO150 that I repaired following the advice of the macle's. But with this Toshiba NB100 I have no solution . I tried combinations of buttons, I put the bios files on USB floppy or stick-memory ... nothing!

    fair enough there may be a hardware problem but i don't understand why you think it is the bios when you never flashed it i.e. bad bios flash.
