Hello guys, I followed this bios mod thread and successfully flashed my laptop with the modded 21 microcode.
All was fine until I entered the bios and changed some options in there (which later I read that weren't recommended).
My guess is that after making these changes I have bricked the BIOS because the laptop just stopped working (I start it up and it doesn't post anything and simply doesn't work - only a black screen is present, yet the power leds are on and the HD fires up).
How I tried to troubleshoot the problem until now:
I tried to reflash it with the original BIOS - did not work, it simply doesn't want to enter CRISIS mode with FN and Esc.
I opened it and moved the RAM around, also removed the battery for a while and put it back - also didn't work.
I tried to locate the CMOS jumper but I didn't find it.
Therefore I wanted to ask you guys if there is any fix for this problem.
Thanks a lot !
