tossy

Hi Prema, nothing new I tried as you described: 1 memory stick in slot 1, only the USB pen drive (no HDD, no DVD), remove power supply, remove the battery, remove the CMOS battery. Then back: CMOS battery, main battery, power supply, then i start: - Fn+"B" + power on (the system start power on) - after 10 seconds the USB pen drive flash for about 10 seconds - the system still power on for 20 seconds (the flash stops during this time) - the system restart automatically, now the cases are 2: -- if i keep pressing the Fn+"B" key it restart and retry the procedure from the start -- if i release the keys the system try to restart but shut off automatically in about 2 seconds (then the POWER led start flashing in orange color - not green like when in normally power on, the flashing speed is a little slower then 1 flash per second). On the USB pen there is only the file P170EM.17 renamed as P17EM_08.rom in the root on the memory (i try with FAT and FAT32). The screen is ALWAYS OFF, also the backlight seems ALWAYS OFF (i dont see any black change during the power on .... seem that the display device is never initialized). Any other idea? Thanks

Hey where is my last post? I respond to Prema about his answer ..... However mi last working original bios was : BIOS v 1.07 ECBios 1.06 (i still have that file). Please tell me something if you think i can fix the problem, i'm lost without my computer from 3 days .... Thanks

Hi Prema, yes, my original bios was http://www.santech.it/BIOS/M58/M58_1.07+EC06.zip i installed it on 03-09-2012. News ... i found the CMOS battery under the keyboard, i disconnect it and remove the main battery and the power supply ... nothing happens ... the system don't restart anymore ... also the Fn + "B" procedure don't work, only sometimes ... about 1 times every 20 restart of the computer, in this case the sistem search for the USB pen drive connected ....

Hi, the system don't start anymore, there is no way to reboot from a USB pen drive, nothni appears on the screen ... only the Fn + "B" procedure give me sone access to the USB pen drive (i see it whit the flash of it's internal led) .... bot agai nothing appear on the screen .... after about 2 minutes the system go off. Please explain me thi fn + "B" procedure and the exactly file i have to put on the root: the pen drive must be formatted with booting files or simply formatted? Have i to put only the file .rom? The filename is alwais P17EM_08.rom? The original file is: P170EM.17 fon my computer? I get it from the P170EM_17_12_Stock.rar package? Many tanks again ....

Hi Prema, please, help me ... i tryed to update my bios on Santech M58 (the same hardware of Clevo P170EM) and i brick it's BIOS .... I tried the P170EM_17_12_PM_v2.rar and i got problems on restarting my windows 7 - 64 bit Then i tried the P170EM_17_12_PM_v2_2T.rar and i got the same problem .... So i roll-back to the stock P170EM_17_12_Stock.rar Bios and i got problems ... the system hangs. Now i'm trying to restart the computer with the Fn + "B" procedure, my USB pen drive (with a LED inside) flash for about 10 seconds, then stops and nothing happens, the computer switch off and don't restarts. Only the Fn + "B" procedure restart the USB pen drive but nothing appears on the screen. I probably don't understand the emergency recovery procedure (rename the file PM17EM_08.rom .... etc) .... which file/s i have to rename? Please help me !!! Many many many thanks in advance. Alberto
