I have accidentally bad flashed my CL56's bios with a wrong file.
Old Bios Version: CL561 V1.40T1
VGA bios version:0.2
Bad Flashed Bios Version: V1.5 of Gigabyte N501
My mainboard is: DCL56 LA-2231 Rev:1.0
My specs. are as this
Chronologically:
1.I have accidentally flashed my 855PM chipset mainboard with a 855GM one which have a integrated graphics core.
2.When I siwitch on notebook by button it powers up then fan stops after 1-2 seconds, neither lcd or external display works, doesn't load os, leds lights regularly, it still works and shuts down by pressing power button more than 4 seconds.
4.I have tried J1 mainboard reset jumper.(I know it is meaningless)
3.It powers up alternatively with Fn+B keys pressed for boot block recovery.
Fan keeps working. I don't have a floppy disk driver but my bootable cd-rw works on my desktop pc.
HW Manual on compals ftp site says: (CL561-CH2-rev3.doc)
Force update PC87591
For 591-S version support internal rom,and it can force update EC.Press Fn+B+Q keys and then plug in AC,boot loader will force update 591 internal ROM from external ROM.
4.I need a Crisis Recovery Disk which automates boot block recovery.
As I know only ASPs have this disk. I NEED IT.
5. Alternatively I'm trying to prepare a boot block recovery disk that can do the same job through autoexec.bat batch file.
-I have tried FlashIt utility of Insyde with the rom file version CL56 BIOS 140AT01 and command key in batch file included in zip pack.
FLASH21A cl56140A.T01 /c
Cd drive tries, but it doesn't work, also tried old versions of rom file.
-As I saw on Bizcom FAQ Question (2) : How do I flash the BIOS?
Ans.: Boot your computer to a floppy disk that contains Phlash.exe utility, a .BIN and .ROM files provided by manufacturer, and type phlash /B=xxxxxx.bin xxxxxx.rom /X at the command prompt. Restart system after completing this process.
phlash cl56.rom
or
phlash cl56.rom /x
Cd drive tries, but it doesn't work.
As I can't remember if there is anything that refers to Phoenix, maybe someone may help by posting screen shots of boot screen.
-Tested awdflash utility on desktop pc, rom file doesn't recognised.
6.I don't have a plain vanilla ISA VGA adapter or any other debug tool to see output of codes, I just wait long enough. At this point need for an image of Crisis Recovery Disk arises.
7. Finally, I need a "CRISIS RECOVERY DISK" or a "TRIED and WORKING BOOT BLOCK RECOVERY DISK" for Compal CL56.
PLEASE HELP ME to get over this problem.
THANKS
