Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

Hello,

i´m new here and not really sure if i post this in the right forum.

Anyway, as i said, i´m in need of a bios file for a Lenovo s206 Model 2638.

This Notebook has a black screen and reballing the chips didn´t work, so i guess it could be an bios related issue.

Unfortunately Lenovo doesn´t provide a bios update for this model and is also not willing to provide me with the original bios.

Instead they suggest to buy a new mainboard from their webshop for a rediculously high price, probably even more expensive than the notebook was when it was new.

Of course i know that the chips could be defective too, but before i order a new chip, i want to try to reprogramm the bios.
I have a external programmer, so the programming itself isn´t a problem, i only can´t find the needed file.

Maybe someone here has a working Lenovo s206 available and could help me out.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.



Thanks a lot in advance, Harald.

A few questions first pls

1. Does the Novo menu appear when you press the button beside the power?

2. Does the backlight turn on?

If you answered no to 1 and 2 then there maybe a hardware fault, otherwise i can help

1. It doesn´t have any button beside the Power-Button.

2. The backlight does not turn on.

But thanks for trying to help anyway.

As i said, there is a good chance that the hardware is defective and either the CPU or the Chipset is faulty,
but first i want to rule out that the Bios is responsible.

BTW, i also tried to connect a external monitor to HDMI, but it´s all the same, it doesn´t turn on and only shows a black screen.

If switched on, the two LED´s beside the DC-Jack turn on, after a while the vent turns on too and that´s it, nothing else happens.

Problem partly solved!

After a lot of searching i found a bios-file at a russian website which i downloaded and programmed into the chip directly.

And---yeah it works again. That means the problem was indeed caused by the bios.

Unfortunately the bios i downloaded seems to be for a s206 that runs Windows 7.

I also saved the original bios and was able to find the Win8-Key in it.

Do you guys think if i write that key into the new bios to the same adress i found it at, it would work?

Because now the Computer doesnt boot anymore from its harddrive and i guess it´s caused by the missing key.

I cant access the bios setup too, and i guess that is because Win8 didn´t shut dow correctly. Is that possible?

Best regards.
