strange... this happened on my XPS14 too, newer BIOS, A16 have Sata bugged down to 3GBps, the only solution for me to go back to 6GBps what to downgrade to A15...

Hi guys, just wanted to post a warning to say that my aspire v5-131 is now dead. The bios flash worked perfectly, but changing the video memory allocation appears to have corrupted the bios somehow and the machine no longer boots - the power lights come on, fans spin up, but the screen stays off and after a few second it shuts off. I've tried using a crisis drive and that fails - the machine goes into crisis mode (fans at full speed and stays on) but doesn't appear to actually access the drive (to read/flash the new bios) at all.

A repair shop has quoted me $300 to replace the motherboard, but that's as much as a new machine.

If anyone has suggestions I'm willing to try pretty much anything at this point. Cheers.

Try them first to see if sata comes back to 6gbps...

It is impossible to flash 1.xx without rescue mode.

Therefore i need extracted 1.xx
