Hello, I am new to this forum and it seems to be my last hope
My Samsung np305e7a crashed during a bios update with the SW-Tool (Samsung's driver tool).
Since this crash, all I get is a black screen. I tried a cmos reset, but didn't help. I did read a lot about bios flashing and I wanted to proceed like described here guided by this
My main Problem is, that there is no BIOS data for my Samsung, all i could find was the BIOSUpdate.exe but it seems for me that this .exe is just downloading the specific needed BIOS data for each Samsung (I opened it with 7zip but couldn't find anything).
Does anyone know how to get the .whp files i need?
The only solution i can figure out, is find somebody with the same Samsung model, download the BIOSUpdate.exe on this Laptop, start it but don't run it through and get the image I need from the Temp-folder.
thanks in advance
UPDATE 5.3.2015
I did check the HDD of my Samsung in order to find something in the TEMP-folder. Instead of .rom files i got this log-data:

Does this mean that the file I'd need to flash my Samsung is 05QU.rom ? Or are there more informations in this log ?
Seems for like there wasn't problems which could brick the BIOS, is that right?
thanks, Leon
