Laptop not turning on after BIOS update
|
Solandri : alens2000ad : I found that I've installed the update for N5110 accidentally on my N5010 laptop. It's bricked. The BIOS firmware is code designed to run on specific hardware. If you install the wrong BIOS, you've basically loaded the computer with boot-up instructions that it can't follow because of mismatching hardware. This also removes any way for you to install the correct BIOS (unless you moved the BIOS chip to a N5110 and instaled the N5010 BIOS update onto it). You might be able to replace the BIOS chip with a functional one containing the correct firmware for your laptop. I cannot guarantee the reliability of the seller nor the BIOS replacement procedure. From the eBay listing, it looks like it requires fine soldering equipment and skills. https Given the age of the laptop, I'd suggest just getting a new one. Thank you for your the suggestion. I'll try replacing the BIOS chip if possible. If That dosen't work I Buy a New Laptop. |
