Anyone have BIOS v.2.04a? if so please e-mail it to me at ikisat @ gmail . com

qhn · 09-23-2009, 07:23 PM

Will look at this on the weekend.

cheers ...

qhn · 09-23-2009, 09:15 PM

BIOS 2.04a - with compliments to NBF forum users that need.

Bullit · 09-29-2009, 01:24 AM

Anyone tried to put an SSD to a 470K? I think with i can get more good juice from mine , but not sure if Bios will accept it.

There is also the need with a converter ATA to SATA, since i am not aware of ATA SSD's.

MWunsch · 09-29-2009, 03:31 AM

ATA SSD's exist, they're just rare.

I haven't tried but I don't like SSD because of their short life-span...

Bullit · 10-01-2009, 01:52 PM

Thanks MWunsch i now remember that some appeared initially.

That is not the feedback i have heard Psychism.

I update the bios of my D470k to 2.04a and it works fine with my old clawhammmer, got a new Lancaster (ML-37) installed and it won't boot. Powers on but no display and the fan spins down, as typical, and the notebook just sits there. Did I miss a step? Get a DOA cpu? Works with the clawhammer back in.

qhn · 10-06-2009, 05:52 AM

A good possibility!

cheers ...

...I'm not sure how to take that, thanks for posting the bios btw. A little late but this may be usefull to someone: D470k_2.04a.iso - 1.5 Mb. (the bootable cd I made from it).
I found the following command very helpful.

Code:

PHLASH16.EXE /B:bios.rom /V

qhn · 10-06-2009, 07:21 AM

Possible that you got a DOA cpu. Sorry for not clear enough.

Good command input and the ISO file. Thanks.

cheers ...

MWunsch · 10-06-2009, 07:26 AM

Thanks for the iso file too; maybe I can bring my laptop to life again.

No problem man, good luck with the rejuvenation. I'll let you know how things go after I RMA this processor.

societyblind · 10-17-2009, 10:08 PM

Got a replacement Lancaster today, works great~!

Guess the first one was DOA, but they replaced it quickly. Props to Starmicro. Overclocked it to 2.1 GHz and undervolted it a bit. Will post any battery life increase after some testing. Thanks guys!
