Hi, I flashed modified BIOS with SLIC 2.1 and now my laptop doesn't boot. I created CRISDISK on a floppy and tried "Fn + B" and "Win + B", but it doesn't work. Does anyone know the right keyboard combination for Samsung R60Plus laptops ?
a couple of minutes ago i received an answer from sasmsung support forum that there's no such keyboard combination on samsung notebooks they told me to go to service center... i'm really disappointed((
Sorry man, unless your bios has some feature like asus ez flash or something like that, you broke it. Take it to the shop
here is a lesson to all who wants flash there bios with modified strings .bottom line is dont do it for the sake of getting a free use of W7 perhaps a poll of error rate versus success rate should done . sorry to hear of another failed flash...
I've to second that! In case you try to flash a BIOS with an unsupported file (all of the modded BIOS's are NOT supported!) it's on own risk and no one else is responsible as you only. I had brick 2 MB's with modded BIOS's and I don't blame the Modder, I blame myself! Period!
Thanks to all he guys who tried to help me, but the story seems to come to an end I went to samsung technical center and was really shocked by their answer: "Motherboard replacement needed. Cost - $ 230". And no, they do not replace the BIOS chip or program the BIOS somehow Only replace the whole motherboard. Yeah, I knew I took the risk flashing the BIOS, but I did not realize it would be so expensive to recover ((((
Basically they are taking the mick. They can change stuff if they want, they just want to charge you the most amount of $$$ they can. You can hotflash your BIOS to recover it, but I don't know the exact procedure for your notebook. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, it basically means doing the following:- 1) remove the BIOS chip from your laptop 2) find another motherboard that is compatible with that chip, normally just a board that uses the same make of BIOS 3) boot the other machine using its BIOS 4) with the other machine on (this bit is scary), you pull its BIOS chip out with the power still on (it can be helpful to remove and refit to chip before you turn it on just to make sure its not too tight) 5) fit your dead BIOS chip to the working other machine (power still on) 6) force flash your laptop BIOS in the other machine (power still on) 7) turn off, refit all BIOS chips to the correct motherboards, reboot and pray
I have the samsung recovery DVD but it doesn't help. Crisdisk doesn't help too. I'm from Russia, so transportation cost to UK or US will be very high I visited another, non-authorised by Samsung service and they also said that only motherboard replacement can solve the problem because they can not program existing BIOS chip as it does not fit into their programming device
BIOS repair Namchick, contact bios repair services they do embedded BIOS repair / recovery. I used them a few months ago, top notch service. Reign_Of_Freedom, "badbiosflash" does not do embedded BIOS repair. I found that out the hard way.
Do you know how involved it is to replace a motherboard in a laptop? $230 is cheap when you take into account the cost of the motherboard and the labor. Question for the original poster, is there anything on that hard drive that should be deleted before sending it back to the shop? May want to slic it.
