Hello, Thanks in advance . I have a problem with my current Laptop, an Ahtec 259EN1, aka Alienware m5500 (I think): this have the BIOS 2.02, Ahtec does not have another BIOS, I dont get access to the Alienware support site (I am not his client) to download the last BIOS from my model (the 2.06w or 2.07, according to this forum? ), and I recently change to Windows 7, with a graphical problem that I think is solved with an upgrade BIOS version. I search this BIOS version (the 2.06w for the m5500), but I dont find this (note: I find the 2.06w for the m5550, but is not compatible whit my AMI motherboard BIOS) Please, any person from this forum can send me this bios (2.06w or another superior to my current 2.02 version) to my email (nexocomun @ gmail.com), or the alienware link to download this (if is user/password protect, I agree this ) or another valid link to download this BIOS?. Very thanks in advance , its a very great forum My current data:

Did you try with the 2.06W that I posted in the forum? And if you did, what type of error message when you tried to update the BIOS with?

cheers ...

Hello qhn, and thanks for your reply When a play the ISO for the 2.06w m5550 update, I'm see one screen with this information
Code:
Phoenix Secure Flash16 Utility version 2.0.2.12
Copyright (c) Phoenix Technologies Ltd., 2005
Performing the following funtions

> Load Image file P53IAAW.206
      < More lines >
      
Identifying flash memory part type 00:32:10 (A)
And not move this first line selection, seems is blocked. I read in the directory the referencied file, and I think the P53IAAW.206 is a valid file. I think the AMI BIOS type from my Ahtec 259EN1 (aka Alienware m5500) is different to the probably Phoenix BIOS version of the m5550. If not, why is the problem beacuse I dont could make the upgrade Please, if you have any BIOS version forn the m5500 superior to the 2.03w (posted for mb67 in another post of this forum, thanks mb67), I agree you send me or answer how I get this information files. Very thanks in advance,
