deadly

I have been trying for over a month to recover my 8.00 bios to no avail, I still randomly try different file names if I have the will to do it.

8.01 was working on mine for a few months now but a week or so back my laptop stopped POSTing. I had stock 8.01 before flashing the modded one. Still trying to figure out the recovery method though to restore to the original bios.

Does anybody have any experience with the bios not POSTing? My y580 turns on then turns itself off after a couple seconds, but sometimes it stays on, I'm really clueless.

Does anybody know where the cmos battery is located exactly? I flashed the 8.01 modded bios a few months back and haven't had any trouble. But I went into standby yesterday and now I cannot get it to boot back up, no POST or anything. *EDIT* I found the cmos battery after opening up all the components, shorted it and made no difference. I have been trying the insyde recovery methods but it does not seem to accept the files I throw at it, like QIWY3.bin.

I never installed any RST drivers and windows boots up very fast as if I had just logged out instead of restarting.

I usually play dota 2 these days and it's not cpu intensive at all. Since it is free to play, you can easily check it out.

I haven't been able to get RST to work, but I did manage to get express cache to work. This is on a clean windows 8.1 installation.

They have different uses though
