How to flash:

IMPORTANT:
Before flash, check which BIOS version you have.
To check this: shutdown your laptop, power it on and press immediately and repeatedly “F2” button on keyboard,
you’ll enter in the BIOS menu.
Read “BIOS Version” and check if it’s “R1170Y8” OR “R0300Y8”.
If your BIOS IS NOT named as one of these two DON’T GO FORWARD! DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING!!!
To prevent any problem close all programs, and also disable the antivirus.
Some programs can interfere with the BIOS flash and in result you can BRICK your machine!
Note: You’ll hear the fan spinning to the maximum speed and in some operation (read or write)
your mouse and keyboard will be temporarily disabled, this is normal.
Open AfuWin (select 32 or 64bit, depends on your OS), and first make a backup of your current ROM
by clicking on the “Save” button.
Write a name for your BIOS (eg. my_bios_ok.rom), if you want, and save in a known location
to easily retrieve it if you need to.
Be sure to make multiple copies of this backup (on external drive like USB pendrives, etc).

Then click on “Open” button and select the ROM with the name as your BIOS version.
DO NOT SELECT THE WRONG FILE, YOU COULD BRICK!
Then check “Do Not Check ROM ID” and “Restart After Programming” and press Flash.
Click on “Ok” when AfuWin asks if you want to continue and wait until the flash is done.
Your PC will reboot and you should see a new logo!
Press immediately F2 to enter BIOS options, go to “Exit” and select “Load Default Values” and then “Shutdown”.
Power on your laptop and check if all is working good!
If you have any trouble you can reflash the backup ROM you made before.

BIOS MODDING IS REALLY DANGEROUS AND COULD BRICK OR DAMAGE YOUR MACHINE!
BE SURE TO KNOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING AND POSSIBLY HAVE AN SPI DUMP OF YOUR FULL BIOS!!!

The laptop currently has bios version R1140y8, I simply wanted to update to the latest stock bios version R1170Y8. Are these not the correct files for doing that? I'm about ready to give up on this...

Does anyone have the r1190y8 BIOS update ROM file? I've been looking and looking, and I cannot find it anywhere. I'd like to have the most updated BIOS possible. According to itrescuer at the top of the thread, that appears to be the newest version available. I'm currently on r1170y8. Thanks.
