Just installed this on my Y580 running Windows 8 with no problems (from post #258). My Y580 came with Windows 7 originally and I was using the modded 2.06 firmware from the first post. Thanks!

Same thing for me. My Y580 came with windows 7 and 2.0.6. I am using the unlocked one from here, but am getting really bad tearing and artifacting 3D games (Battlefield 3). I'm hoping for a 2.0.7 unlocked version or I will have to use the crappy WiFi that came with the laptop.

When I get home I will try putting my old drive with Windows 7 in and seeing if the same bios files will flash.

We're waiting to hear from svl7

Thanks, and thanks svl7

Hi, I'm trying to install the bios from thread #155. I have a Y580 that came with windows 7, and now is running windows 8. I have the original modded bios from thread #1 installed currently. I unblocked all files and ran as administrator and get this error: ------------------------------------------------------ C:\BIOS>FLASH.bat ************************* http://forum.techinferno.com To flash the BIOS press y, to abort press n or any other key. Confirm with enter. Flash? y Intel ® Flash Programming Tool. Version: 8.0.10.1464 Copyright © 2007 - 2012, Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.

There is an updated bios for which is version 5dcn40ww.exe. Would be great to get that un-whitelisted. The reason to get 5dcn40ww is that playing some 3D games I get crashes and this bios is supposed to fix some of the crashes in games. P.S. The BACKUP.bat gets the same error, Error 104. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to bypass the "The version of rom file isn't newer than version of bios"? My Lenovo Y580 has bios v.207 Thanks
