VIT M2400 (Pegatron A24) broken BIOS
#1
Hello guys this is my first post on these forums, if I'm doing something wrong just tell me. Long story short: a relative of mine wanted me to fix a computer from a coworker of hers. The laptop is a VIT M2400 which in fact has a Pegatron A24 motherboard running an AMI BIOS it seems, somehow the guy broke the BIOS while fiddling with it. I managed to find a dump of this computer's BIOS here: https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-U...0-Ami-Bios

I followed this procedure to no avail: https://www.bios-mods.com/bios-recovery/...-recovery/

I think the problem is that I'm missing the correct filename for the ROM file, I tried with AMIBOOT.ROM and PEGATRON.ROM with a FAT USB but neither worked. I'm stuck on the mydigitallife forum account confirmation, it has been more than 10 hours an the email hasn't arrived yet so I can't download AndyP's tool, could please someone who already has that tool download the ROM which the author of the first post uploaded and tell me what filename I have to use ?

The link to the file is this one: https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/attachment.php?aid=1627

Or else, how would I download AndyP's program ?

This BIOS basically broke itself, and it seems to be common for these machines, if I can fix it I will make a guide here.

Thanks guys you're awesome !

Hey thanks for your quick reply ! I browsed through those links but they seem to be downloads for PhoenixTool, this machine's BIOS is AMI though

Ok guys I figured it out, turns out using a gmail account worked to register on mydigitallife. I used the program called MMTOOL to get information about the BIOS file, it says is an AMI corev8 or something like that but not any more useful info. Instead I used a hex editor to inspect the BIOS file and searched for "ROM", it turns out the correct filename for recovery is indeed AMIBOOT.ROM, so I tried again with a FAT formatted USB drive and with a CD with the file burned in it, but it didn't work :c



I think the bootblock of the BIOS broke as well, so there's no chance of recovery without an EEPROM programmer.



If you have a broken VIT M2400 like me you can try with this instructions: https://www.bios-mods.com/bios-recovery/...-recovery/

using the filename AMIBOOT.ROM

maybe you have better luck Wink
