Phanta Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 So last night I flashed an incorrect BIOS on my laptop. Computer now won't POST, so I'm trying to perform the InsydeH2O BIOS recovery. The problem is, I don't know what the filename is for the 5dcn90ww bios. Has anyone successfully recovered a y580 running the 8.01 bios, and if so what file name actually worked on the recovery? Also, would it be possible to recover the machine using the 2.07 BIOS from Lenovo's site? Or am I SOL unless Lenovo ever posts the 5dcn90ww file online (which they won't)?

Phanta Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 @svl7 The bios I flashed is an overvolted one from here on the forums on top of your unlocked 8.01 bios. I know the stock 8.01 bios isn't online so I can't get the file name for the recovery, but is there some way I can use your unlocked bios or the 2.07 bios for the recovery? Thank you for any input you have and thank you for all of your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanta Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Update: Sadly, there was no luck recovering the bios. I had to install a new MOBO. If you are on the 8.01 bios, be careful with what you flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
