    Does anyone know if you can short bios a certain combination of bios pins to make it enter bootloader mode? Because right now, I am at a complete loss. It doesn't even show the startup screen, nor check the drives. I plan on trying to borrow an external monitor to see if maybe the bios error screen is on the external monitor port, since it is a tablet. Ugh. Otherwise, maybe I'll take it apart and see if it the flash chip is hot-swappable or something.

    Just let me know what you think my options are or if at this point you think its more or less a pretty paperweight.

    No, you are not correct...MSI has never had a phoenix bios in its life and never will...this is an AMI bios - if you are reading off everest or one of those toy programs that people post here, it is wrong...you need to post in the AMI request as I stated.

    that info is taken directly from the system information in windows, so your saying it lies?

    I've attached an image of my system information screen so you see

    What you are reading is this: Phoenix AMI or Phoenix Award....Phoenix is the company that makes all bios files....whether Award, AMI or Phoenix....Now, Award and AMI have broken away but the older bios files still say Phoenix....I have been doing this an awful long time on this board and I know my bios files.

    MSI is Award or AMI and not phoenix

    Hmmm... so then 228CA and 348CA have the exact same BIOS?

    Will you also help to clarify on what DOS flash Utility, Modified Bios file and Autoexc.bat file are (or where I might find them).

    Thank you very much.
