    All I can think of is open laptop up and take bios chip out and ask someone to reprogram it. Or warranty.

    you may not die completely, recovery should not be used. using the CD Hiren Boot,running mini WindowsXP, and Flash on the window,
    I was successful with Lenovo :)

    I tried many windows xp live cds but non of them working because windows xp has ACPI enabled and the bios I updated has no ACPI. So they all ending in Blue screen / hardware error...
    Are you sure your problem was ACPI?

    Make sure your error also when using PhoenixTool1.90. I recover with Live CD, and then by PhoenixTool1.85 bios mod worked perfectly, I think the new 1.90 bios mod tools have problems

    I use the Dos Flas**t error message as you

    So you tried with Hiren Boot CD? Can you please provide me a step-by-step tutorial how to recover my bios?
    I am fighting with it since yesterday I ran out of brain energy. I cannot thing anymore.

    I am currently downloading Hiren CD 14 Restored edition.

    Thank you

    sorry, I do a lot of methods to try to restore, I recall running in Dos Hiren Boot cd not mini XP, run many times before, and I replaced a lot of versions Flas**t.exe :)

    minixp failed (complain about ACPI)
    dos failed (the same error on flas**t, FDT not found)
    bios uniflash utility on CD doesnt even load.
    booting on dos and running flas**t fails, with EMM386 loaded lot of errors (crash address etc). Without EMM386 the same error FADT not found.

    total failure
