Hi all, I was looking for modified HP nc8430 BIOS F16 mod with SLIC 2.1 but seems that all links are dead, does anybody have this bios and could share it? thanks in advance
TTAV134, thanks for link, have downloaded it and updated BIOS with mod, works perfectly I had some doubts before loading mod but went smooth without any issues...
hello all, here is whats happening I have an acer extensa 5620-6389, had ubuntu on it, wife turn down the lid and now i cant get the laptop to turn on. i plug in the power cord, press the power button, the power button turns green, hard drive flashes for a few seconds but screen dosnt turn on at all (stays black) then it shuts down by it self and 3 seconds later turns on by it self remaining on this time. I have downloaded the latest bios for this form acer euro website and created the crisis recovery disk but that makes no difference except that if i put it in as a CD the laptop reads the cd for a few seconds, but with the USB it never even reads it. the usb was of course created as FAT and not FAT32. also i must mention that i am powering it on by first pressing the fn+esc and then the power while having fn+esc pressed as suggested in various forums. I have searched for 3 days now, no clue so i am posting SOS now ... plz help!
If the failure didn't occurs during a bios flash, the recovery is useless, it's a wrong way. You are probably facing a common hardware failure due to the overheat of video chip (dust accumulation in fan filter). The solution: doing a soldering reflow with a hot gun, this method is describe over the net with video demonstrations. search with google you will found hundreds. note: this request off topic here.
