Greetings Deathbringer.

Attached the info you requested.

I am no BIOS expert.  So do need step-by-step instruction on how to flash please.
(to avoid risk of bringing BIOS and laptop to death... ;-)

Tx in advance maestro.

Laptop is on BIOS version 0.3810 as you can see.
I can also flash it to version 2.3821 if that is better?
And.... now also noticed the button "add attachment" ....
So BIOS now is on version 0.3810 as you can see.
If it is preferred, I can also flash to version 2.3821?
1. Make DOS USB-stick (e.g, by Rufus).
2. Download BIOS v3636. Extract file PHLASH16.EXE from it and copy to DOS USB-stick
3. Download ZY2L3821.wph (modded by genius239) and copy to DOS USB-stick
4. Boot in DOS from the prepared DOS USB-stick
5. Run:
phlash16 /mode=3 ZY2L3821.wph /x
I notice "3821"-number in the run-code.

Do I first have to flash to BIOS version 2.3821?
(now laptop is on 0.3810)
Or is the ZY2L3821.wpf-file that 3821-BIOS incl the modification to recognise T7700 CPU?

As you wish.

Yes, it has microcode for your T7700.
I get this error-message when running the flash (see attached picto).

Followed the instructions exactly.

(As said: I have BIOS version 0.3810 on laptop now.)
(No idea whether this is the cause or something else. ).

What is going wrong?
