    I recently installed Windows on my Dell inprison N5030, my battery is dead it wont charge anymore, and I'm not willing to replace it now, the problem is when I try to install the BIOS driver it tells me that battery must be 10% charged!! I removed the bettery and tried again, it told me that I must place the battery, what should I do now ?? I encounter the blue screen of death many times now, I think this driver will fix it ! any help ? :(

    First of all, bios isn't driver.

    Can you flash from DOS??

    also these M5030 have a major defect on the southbridge ati video chip solder/board .. heat causes warping of board and chip comes loose.. lemon design
    i have 3 im fixing.

    only way to fix is using something to hold board flat around the chip while reflowing chip with kester 954 no clean flux.

    get rid of it.. trust me
