Mitac 6120N laptop bios dead. PLEASE HELP!!!
Hi,
I just tried to update my Mitac 6120N notebook with the latest bios ver. 1.11 I typed the command miflash ***.bin /u Now the laptop is dead. Is there any way to recover the bios? I have the old version on a floppy disk. I tried with the PIO boot block procedure, but the laptop doesn't even access to the floppy drive. Can you help? Thanks.

See if the EEPROM chip is removable, then at least you can replace it with a chip that has the prior bios already flashed to it.

Unfortunately.

Try here, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/awardflash.html when you make the emergency re-flash floppy make sure you wait long enough even if the system doesn't seem to be doing anything. How long? I have waited almost an hour and nothing is happening, apart the cpu fan starting to spin every now and again.
