Can't upgrade T30 BIOS from 2.02b to latest(2.10)

#1 Post by db130 » Sun Nov 26, 2006 4:10 am

The laptop has the Embedded Controller Program Version 1.07 already, so 2.10 should work, but when I run the upgrade program, the computer reboots without warning and the BIOS update does not resume upon startup. Any ideas?

strange. do you have the option of doing a floppy update instead of the windows program? if you have no floppy drive, you might be able to use a usb floppy drive or burn the floppy image to a cd.

I tried the USB drive but the files will not extract to the USB drive. I guess I will need to scrounge up a floppy disk, and then use my desktop computer which has a floppy disk drive before I can proceed further. Thank you for the hints.
