Need Help With Bios Update (390X)

#1 Post by ramjam » Fri Nov 19, 2004 1:34 am

I would love to update my bios but the battery is dead on my Thinkpad 390x . Can this be done without a battery.

I just updated the BIOS in my 365X with a stone dead battery, using the AC adapter (plugged into a UPS). I wouldn't recommend it, but it worked for me.

Free recovery CDs for 390X

#3 Post by gb » Sat Nov 20, 2004 2:29 pm

Guys,

I have leftover set (2) of original IBM recovery CDs for 390x. I do not need it any longer, but you may still find some use for it.
All I will ask is to pay for padded envelope and shipping (~$6.00)

PM me if you are interested
Regards
