I have completely dead bios chip and replaced with another but the bios ROM file is larger than chip memmory. the chip is 1024 kb but file is 1077 kb how to cut or convert this file to fit into the chip thanx the notebook is Equium A210-17I PSAFJE
Post a link to the BIOS file. If it's a Phoenix BIOS, it should be pretty easy to cut the 1024kB ROM out of it.
some luck the notebook is not dead totaly now, but the bios says "System configuration data write error"
Perhaps the BIOS does not know how to access the CMOS? Have you already reset the BIOS to setup defaults? Also even when you get that error message, does the BIOS finish POST and try to boot off a floppy, CD/DVD or hard drive? What I'm wondering is if you could do the normal crash recovery now with the full BIOS with the platform data.
Thank you for the feedback...glad it worked for you. Just to clarify...you used the 1024kB ROM file right?
Hello, Please, tqhoang, can you tell me how did you extract the ROM from the file ? I mean please explain what NAPI string is so i can "extract my bios" ? Thanks.
Thank you for your prompt answer. I actually tried to look inside my file with an hex editor but it seems somehow compressed (checked file BIO0076T.COM in double archive) If maybe you could have a look at it, that would be really nice Model: Toshiba Tecra S11 Link to bios: http :// support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20100823102122.zip Thanks
So i thought... Thank you anyway for having a look at it I'll continue my research, if somehow i find something i'll report back here.
