You are correct....i just checked mini 10 download link and opened the bios and it does have a DELL 2.1 slic in it...
You cannot through DOS...it is impossible with the DELL BIOS STRUCTURE...this is a DELL PHOENIX BIOS and it cannot be done in DOS...you have to flash it in Windows or it won't work.
HMMM This is a huge problem... A12 BIOS that this laptop has at the moment doesn't charge the battery at all. And flasher tool needs at least 10% charge in order to run Any way to get arround it ?
