balorsan Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I have figured out that I need to create a bootable flash drive with dos and auto executing flash tool, but still I dunno how to do It, so I still need your help :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balorsan Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I decided to make a bootable CD with dos and autoexecuting nvidia flasher (with required files), since on everyones dell laptops 42831C1 bios works, I'll try to install this file. The only thing I want to know now, how much time fashing proces should take (i wan't to how much time I should wait untill restarting the laptop, since monitor is black I dunno when I should do it :| ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 To be on the safe side, let it sit for 7 minutes... time to drink a coffee, talk with girl, goto to toilet or smoke a ciggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sswing Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I decided to make a bootable CD with dos and autoexecuting nvidia flasher (with required files), since on everyones dell laptops 42831C1 bios works, I'll try to install this file. The only thing I want to know now, how much time fashing proces should take (i wan't to how much time I should wait untill restarting the laptop, since monitor is black I dunno when I should do it :| ) I have the same situation due to BSOD while flashing. BSOD caused by motherboard or memory failures unrelated to flashing the video BIOS. Like you I created a bootable CD but my system BIOS is in thorough mode POST. I think it doesn't even exit POST to boot because it can't successfully initialize the video card. Did this work for you? I may have to insert some beep commands in autoexec.bat to hear when it completes the flash and the script finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
