T7700 support on Acer TravelMate 7730 & Acer Extensa 7230

[DeathBringer]

Main mistake - flashing in Windows.

[Mr.Sun]

What to do now?
(if I shut down the laptop by hard power-down (pressing the 'off'-button 5 secs) the new BIOS probably is not complete...?)

[DeathBringer]

Reboot and find a suitable hardware programmer to flash flashabl.bak

[Mr.Sun]

Do I now:
- change the usb DOS-stick: put the regular .3821 BIOS-file on it (replacing your modded version).
- change the runcode with the name of that file?

Then:
- hard power-down the laptop.
- Boot-up via the DOS-stick?
- Flash the BIOS?

"Reboot and find a suitable hardware programmer to flash flashabl.bak"

What does this mean please?

[DeathBringer]

I'm not tutor. It isn't my mod.

[Mr.Sun]

- You sent me a modded BIOS with instructions: I followed these exactly and then got the error-message as on screenshot sent
- You then gave the advice to flash to regular 3821-BIOS first and when doing so (exactly like I did before), the process gets stuck.

So something has changed because of the fail-flash of the modded version.
And you did not mention I could not use Windows-flash (also it is regular option from Acer).

You offered to help me, on this BIOS-mods Forum.
You also are top contributor, so you do good work and have experience.

I do not know how to proceed now that we are in this situation.
Please help me out.

[DeathBringer]

Good luck!

[Mr.Sun]

This is not acceptable my friend.

You cannot bring somebody into problems, such that he looses total use of the laptop.

Where you are offering to help, on this BIOS-mods Forum.

And then suddenly walk away, all damage done.

Surely this is not why this BIOS-mods-site is there?


Please make clear what you mean with: "Reboot and find a suitable hardware programmer to flash flashabl.bak"

I offcourse know how to reboot.
But who or what is a 'suitable hardware programmer to flash flashabl.bak"

[DeathBringer]

Please make clear what you mean with:  "Reboot and find a suitable hardware programmer to flash flashabl.bak"

You ran WinPhlash64 and it made backup of BIOS - the file flashabl.bak
If WinPhlash64 made this BIOS corrupt then you need to flash back flashabl.bak by a suitable (for your laptop) hardware programmer. This is a special device.
