FLASHING BIOS FOR A DEAD LAPTOP

Querry : 

1          1)          I was trying to update the bios of my motherboard, but something went horrible. It was doing the flashing process and then I realized my pc was in a turn-off-turn-on cycle. It turns on for half second then it turns off, repeating forever. I want to know if its possible to fix that or if my laptop is dead.

2          2)      Flashed his BIOS on a lenovo laptop after upgrading to Windows 10. Flashing the BIOS in the middle realized he did the wrong one and decided to shut it off. It powers on but nothing comes on the screen. 
SOLUTION:

      If some thing goes wrong while updating bios, laptop or pc will go to a dead condition. To make it work we need to flash a bios that provided by manufacturer. I will guide you step by step procedure for FLASHING BIOS.

Step 1:  Downloading bios and selecting required files
             Check the laptop model which was written on top of the display or at the back of the laptop. Search in the manufacturer website. Today I will demo how to flash a Lenovo ideapad y550.
Download bios from the below link:

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/in/en/downloads/ds008010

Run it, bios by default will be extracted before running 


 




Copy KIWBx208.WPH file and rename it as bios.WPH

Step 2: Downloding PHOENIX BIOS

           Download PHOENIX BIOS that required to create a bootable USB for flashing from the below link

Step 3: Creating  a bootable USB

       Extrack the zip file downloaded int Step2.  Right clik on WINCRIS.exe file and select properties and select compatibility TAB, select "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select Windows XP service pack 3.


                

     

      To create a bootable USB, we need a USB with FAT filesystem. For this you need a USB with less than 4 GB size. 1 or 2 GB is recommended. Format your pendrive in FAT filesystem.

Note: FAT format option will only be available for a pendrive with less than 4GB.

Format the pendrive with FAT filesystem.
Copy bios.WPH which we have renamed in Step 1 to PHONIX BIOS folder.

Now run WINCRIS.exe file and create a bootable pendrive. Eject and reconnect the pendrive as it notifies.




Step 4: Copying Bios version to Bootable Pendrive.

        Copy the below files in to the pendrive.

1     1)      bios.WPH  ( Renamed  in Step 1) 
2     2 )      PHLASH16.EXE (Available in PHONIX BIOS folder)
       3)      MINIDOS.SYS (Available in PHONIX BIOS folder)

Note: Ignore if the files are available in Bootable Pendrive.


Step 5: Flashing Bios to laptop

       Remove battery of the dead laptop. Remove the power Card. 

Function + B / Windows + B any one will work for laptop to start flashing BIOS from Pendrive.

Try with Function + B if it did’t works then use Windows + B.

Press Function + B key then insert Power card, hold Function + B key and press power button after inserting power card. Hold Function + B for 2 sec after you press Power button.


a       a )      Press Function + B
b       b)      Insert power card (hold keys as per step a)
         c)      Press power button
         d)      Release Function + B key after 2 sec

Now observe FAN and Pendrive.

If the fan speed was high and continues with the same speed and pendrive blinks, it means BIOS flashing started. After pendrive stops blinking wait for 2 to 3 minutes. Your laptop will automatically reboots after successful flash.

If it still does’t reboot after 5 minutes. Remove power and reinsert and turn the power on.

Note: If you found Fan speed reduces immediately after step d, try using windows + B  and repeat Step 5
