The furthest the FS manuls go is replacing memory and HD. It already comes with the laptop on a disc and is available on FS site. I dont need a link to the user manual of the laptop. Has anybody any experience of this.Īm looking for somebody to help me sort my crashed bios. Have seen one Italian website that replaces soldered chip with new one flashed with what ever version you require. May be able to get somebody to solder it in (am not good enough at soldering) If anyone knows what kind of bios chip and where to buy a it for this mainboard. Murphys law states that if something can go wrong it will more than likey go wrong at some stage.įor those upgrading their BIOS keep murphy's law in mind. I asked to speak with somebody else, he refused. I asked to talk to second line support but he said I could not. When I asked what about goodwill gesture, he said blank 'no'. The FS support (first line) said it did not matter that it was out of warranty, BIOS upgrade is not covered. To my horror they told me that the bios chip is soldered to mainboard and I would need a new mainboard to be fitted. Today I rang FS support in order to get a new bios chip supplied and/or fitted. GF didnt believe me when i explained the implications. I will not repeat the words that came from my mouth. I realized straight away that the bios upgrade had crashed. I had power from ac as well as battery before flashing. Just before it finished the screen displayed lines of text for a second, then went blank with fan running continious. I used windows upgrade method (first time for me) instead of the usual CD iso burning method (the way I did before). The Xi upgrade was an uneventful experience.
Yesterday I decided to upgrade bios on both. I bought an Amilo Xi 1546 and an Amilo Si 1520 (for GF) one year ago last month.
