Note:

Not sure if the orginal bios backed up correctly using tool 1 as there were some errors
(these can be seen when you download the file and look at the screenshots)

Backup tool 2 (Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0) completed without any errors

Also

The bios has the following options GREYED OUT so i can not change them

ok mate,
We can try but It's possible to brick laptop so then You will need the
Tools (SPI PGM + Clip) to recover It !
I will prepare all files and give all !
So let me know
Regards

[starlo]

i dont want to risk a brick - if i can find bios version 96 and downgrade will it be safe to try flash.bat again from your first post?

Ok only one way before HW SPI Programmer !
Try this one :

http://rghost.net/8r9gPkHNb

Recovery Procedure :

Format an USB Stick to Fat32 filesystem then copy the recovery Bios file .bin into and then
continue with this . . .

- Shutdown the netbook (notebook)
- Remove all peripheral devices
- Remove battery, Remove AC power cord
- Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds (battery and AC power still out), then release
- Put the USB Memory Stick in the USB port
- Hold "Fn" + "Esc" and plug the AC power cord in
- Now press the power button (whilst still holding Fn + Esc).
Wait until the fan will run, then release "Fn" + "Esc" keys
- The fan will run for about 2-10 minutes and the USB drive activity LED will blink
- I think the netbook rebooted automatically. If it doesn't, unplug the AC power cord once the fan has turned off

The bios should be updated with the modified BIOS, and boot as per normal.



Let me know
Regards

Hello,

A few months ago you helped me with a BIOS image that I could not use because of the write protection I have on my laptop. Now, I have also found out about the "sleep bug" and tried to update my bios from Windows 8 64bit. The problem is I get this error when I run "fptw64 -f bios.bin -bios":
