    I have tried running the original bios file that i downloaded fron the link you had provided and i am getting a prompt as below.
    I hope you wont get frustrated by my questions at every step.This is my only laptop i will be doomed to have not working.I am contacting you from the other end of the world. Kenya.

    BIOS image file is older than BIOS ROM.
    Do you want continue ?

    you already have v3.22 (6DET72WW) bios installed.
    Your bios ID - "TP-6D".
    skip first step (non modified bios flashing) and try to flash modified bios.

    Wow ,:worthy:.Thank you Sir.I managed to upgrade the modded BIOS version.I will get the WWAN card from the office and install it and report to you in the next 2 hours or so.
    I was very tense during the upgrade i even had to leave my son and do it in the bedroom to avoid him messing up anything.There is nothing i dread like corrupt bios.
    I am indebted by the invaluable help you have offered me.You made my Sunday.I have never been in a forum this efficient
