Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
you already sent me 2 PM yesterday concerning this bios, let me a moment to give a definitive solution.
In my case, I run sp***.exe first. when it ask confirm to flash. I cancel it. then I go the temp folder and check it that has extracted files. In temp folder, one of 30CFF33A.WPH or 30CFF33B.WPH has change name to bios.wph so I compare date and time the bios.wph with 30CFF33A.WPH or 30CFF33B.WPH. then you can find out which is correct bios matched your laptop.
@blusky edit FLASH32.bat and add the 2 last lines: @ECHO OFF COPY %1 SWinFlash\BIOS.WPH /y start /W SWinFlash\SWinFlash.exe :end edit FLASH64.BAT and add the 2 last lines: @ECHO OFF COPY %1 WinPhlash64\BIOS.WPH /y start /W WinPhlash64\WinPhlash64.exe :end create a new file named flash.bat with following content: @echo off start /w cscript.exe QUANTA.vbS :end flash using flash.bat let me know note: of course you must be administrator with "User Account Control" (UAC) turned off
Thanks TTAV134 for taking the time to help me out. Hopefully I will have some time this weekend to work on it. As soon as I do I will post back results. Appreciate your help.
Thank you for all your help TTAV34. Did the edits as you had said using notepad and created the flash.bat file. I then double click on flash.bat and two windows open quickly, looks like a dos window, then closes. I have flashed a Bios before seems a little quick to me. Am I doing this correctly?? Appreciate your patients.
QUANTA.vbS (when his launched), test the platform, choose the bios file, then launch FLASH32.bat or FLASH64.BAT depending of your windows version. can you check if vbs extension is associate to an application on your machine. right click on vbs, check properties it must be associate to "Microsoft (R) Windows Based Script Host", if not, this option is missing in your windows installation. Q: does BIOS.WPH exist in SWinFlash or WinPhlash64 folder?
Thanks again TTAV134. 1)Yes, QUANTA.vbS is associated with Microsoft (R) Windows Based Script Host. 2)There is no BIOS.WPH in SWinFlash or WinPhlash64 folder however I do see in the main Sp4 folder a 30CFF33A.WPH and a 30CFF33B.WPH file. Thanks.
and what appens when you double click on QUANTA.vbS, does FLASH32.bat or FLASH64.BAT launched? have you turned off UAC? i've no idea of what is sp4 folder, let us concentrate to the moded bios folder. note: does your windows version is 32 or 64bit, more you gives informations easiest is the debuging. manual way to choose A or B bios: 30CFF33A.WPH If your NVIDIA video card PCI ID is: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0531 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0530 30CFF33B.WPH If your NVIDIA video card PCI ID is: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0427
Thanks again TTAV134 I have two Quanta files. one is a VBScript Encoded Script File (.vbe)ipt Script File (.vbs). I was double clicking on the this file but nothing happens. As for UAC I just went into User Account settings and selected never notify. I hope that is correct. I currently have windows 7 ultimate installed , 32 bit. I'm getting the not gunuine message. I'm still not sure which one to use either Bios A or B? I'm a little slow but trying to learn.
30CFF33A.WPH If your NVIDIA video card PCI ID is: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0531 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0530 30CFF33B.WPH If your NVIDIA video card PCI ID is: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0427
Thank you very much TTAV134. Greatly appreciated. I'm at work now and will try to update the Bios on Sunday. I looked at the new version and saw the instructions inside. I am hoping this will solve the bios issue. I will try to flash it using Flash.vbs. After updating bios I have read that I have to install certificates which I saw were also in the new file. I will post results. Greatly appreciated.
Hello TTAV134. Here is where I am at. I found that the video card requires 30CFF33A.WPH . Ok. When I double click on the Flash.VBS file I get nothing happening . If I right click on the flash.vbs program I do not see run as administrator in the list. All I see is, open edit open with command prompt print open with: When I go into properties I see opens with Microsoft Windows Based Scipt Host which you told me is correct. I also tried to Flash with WinFlash. It does open. Upon opening it has Backup bios and flash bios with new settings selected. I renamed 30CFF33A.WPH to bios.WPH and put it in the WinFlash folder. I specified new bios file as bios.WPH. I selected advanced settings and all I have selected is Verify block mafter programming and Disable Axx swapping automatic detection. I don't know if these settings are correct and if I should attempt to flash with Winflash. I know I'm close just need this one piece of the puzzle. Thank you very much. I hope I'm not bothering you to much.
there is something wrong in your config but what? use FLASH_debug.vbS, you should have some popups, let me know.
Ok TTAV134. When I selected the Flash debug file the first window that pops up is PNPDeviceID: PCI/VEN_10DE&DEV_531 pop up 2: account 9 3) flashabl:0 hope this helps.
it his very helpfull, there is something wrong in the way you are loged, the account should be 5, we have no time now to search why. edit FLASH_debug.vbS add "flashabl = 2" at the following place flashabl = 2 Wscript.Echo "flashabl: " & flashabl save and test again
OK TTAV134. Did the edit as you have said to the Flash_debug file. 1)PNPDeviceID: PCI/VEN_10DE&DEV_531 2)account:9 3)flashabl: 2 4)0stype: X86 after it finished a windows\system32\cmd.exe window poped up and said 1 file(s) copied. and the Winflash window opened up with the selected items I previosly posted.
