my notebook is acer 4741g-332g32mn model:ms2306 i want to backup the bios first, then give it to expert, if he can modify it, add the slic , then i flash it into my notebook. help, how can i backup my bios using the phlash16 command? thanks could you tell me? thanks! Best regards!
1. First see if Acer has a BIOS update already. If so, post the link...(less work for others). 2. Otherwise see if the regular phlash16.exe (latest v1.7.0.0 is probably preferable) can backup the BIOS using the /RO option. If you don't get an error, then it should create a BIOS.BAK or something similar that is a little larger than the exact BIOS flash chip size (even power of 2). The extra data is the platform data that is required to flash back the backup file.
yes, i use the command : a:\phlash16 /ro then , it gave me a error messge: "unable to open bios.wph" then ,reboot. i don't know why, maybe it's a error command. i only would like to backup it. can you help me?
