Hy Is it possible that I'm having the same issue previously described? I just tried to update my BIOS on pavilion dv5 1178er and at about 75%of the process, the laptop crashed. Maybe it erased all my old BIOS and didn't got to flash the new one? Could it be the reason why I'm not able to recover? Thanks in advance
It might - [Dell] BIOS startup code is in the very last segment and recovery is the previous one. Anyone got messed up – you won’t be able to recover. And it doesn’t matter if you flash original or patched BIOS. That’s why it extremely important not to run anything during update from Windows. Or do it from DOS. Again, it’s not always the case. New [Dell] just save update into another flash area and do actual update during next reboot to avoid any interference. I would think, other OEMs are not much different. Honestly, I don’t understand, why OEMs bother with recovery modules instead of having two independent BIOSes and permanent (non updatable) startup code to choose between them… Or make startup and recovery modules permanent.
Hello from a complete Newb at this BIOS stuff. I have a bricked aspire 2930 and am struggling to recover the bios. So far I have downloaded the latest version from acer’s website, and renamed it JAT10.fd (JAT10 is the mainboard code) am I right in this naming protocol? I have this as the only file on a FAT formatted flash drive. FN + ESC and mains on gives brief orange flash of power button. Upon pressing power button the fans + lights come on but USB drive isn’t accessed. Tried same using CD-R disc, drive spins up and appears to read something but the CD drive stops 2-3 seconds later. Nothing further happens. I’ve left the machine on for several hours to confirm this. I’ve tried different naming conventions, but probably haven’t stumbled on the correct one as yet. I’ve looked at the platform.ini file, but the model and platform name fields are both empty, so that isn’t helping me. I’m probably doing something fundamentally wrong, but at this point I’m stuck and would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
re bricked 2930 Try this BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk BIOS Recovery Boot Block: BIOS Recovery Boot Block is a special block of BIOS. It is used to boot up the system with minimum BIOS initialization. Users can enable this feature to restore the BIOS firmware to a successful one once the previous BIOS flashing process failed. BIOS Recovery Hotkey: The system provides a function hotkey: Fn+Esc, for enable BIOS Recovery process when system is powered on during BIOS POST. To use this function, it is strongly recommended to have the AC adapter and Battery present. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to enter a special BIOS block, called Boot Block. Steps for BIOS Recovery from USB Storage: Before doing this, prepare the Crisis USB key. The Crisis USB key could be made by executing the Crisis Disk program in another system with Windows XP OS. Follow the steps below: 1. Save ROM file (file name: JAT10x64.fd) to the root directory of USB storage. 2. Plug USB storage into USB port. 3. Press Fn + ESC button then plug in AC. The Power button flashes once. 4. Press Power button to initiate system CRISIS mode. When CRISIS is complete, the system auto restarts with a workable BIOS. 5. Update the latest version BIOS for this machine by regular BIOS flashing process.
Thanks for that reply. The bit I'm stuck on is Where do I find the crisis disk program? Whould it have come with the computer when it was new? I got it 2nd hand with no disks. I can find JAT10x64.fd if I unpack and of the bios files on acer's website (using winRAR), system doesn't work with these files, so assume it's incorrect?
Bricked Compaq Presario C774TU (C700 Series) I just bricked my friend's Compaq Presario C774TU last night. I followed every procedure on this thread but to no avail using 10 different USB Flash Drives, 5 different CDs and 6 different DVDs. Luckily, I have an external USB Floppy Diskette Drive from IBM. I used it this morning with a Verbatim 1.44MB 3.5" diskette and copied the BIOS file 30D9F34.FD. Then I renamed it to IBL80HW.FD. After applying the recovery procedure, I left the lappy running while I took my breakfast. When I returned, the lappy was already turned off. I was so sure that I was successful at the time I saw it turned off. I placed the batt pack back to the slot and plug the AC cord. Then I turned on the power button. The lappy rose back to life!!! Thanks a million!!!
Acer Aspire 6935 I have on my bench a friends machine that has had the bios and the hdd passworded by her son. As you can guess he has forgotten the passwords..Tried alsorts to recover/reset the passwords but have got nowhere...thought that if i flashed the bios to a newer version this would clear the passwords...guess what??...it didnt. The way i flashed the bios was:- prepared a bootable usb stick copied KM2_113.fd to stick copied Flas**t to stick copied F.bat to stick These files i obtained from the BIOS UPDATE file from the acer web site for my machine. Plugged the stick into usb port. started machine and let it boot from the stick, at the C: prompt ( thats what came up ) i typed F and pressed enter, the Insyde flash utility kicked in and flashed/updated my bios If i have done it all wrong please let me know...i cant fully check as i still cant get into the bios settings to do a proper check as i still need to get the password. So if anyone here knows a master/backdoor password for the Insydeh2o bios.....please pass it on

USB Floppy Diskette Drive Have you tried using the USB Floppy Diskette Drive? Try each file on a diskette. Maybe it will work. Try using different brands of USB Thumbrive or you can use an external HDD.
guys, I´ve got a aspire 7720G with a Insyde ICL50 bios and I tried all methods and all filenames mentioned. The cdrom and also the flash stick is being read. sometimes it reads every 2-3 minutes for a few seconds, like it can´t find the right file. But I´ve also seen it read for a couple of minutes, like it did copy the bios file (I was hoping that..). But the computer won´t shut down, not even after an hour. Do you think it is worth buying a usb floppydrive?
Go to authorized Toshiba service (and pray if you do not have extended warranty). In my case, the service had to replace the motherboard. They said that recovery routine did not work. Of course, they did not want to tell me, what is the procedure of recovery at Toshiba.
