  1. Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone can give me assistance with installing this new bios. I am beyond frustrated right now as I've been trying to update this for the past 2hrs. I've followed the instructions from the first post and also searched this topic for other problems/ issues people have had that I am currently having. What are they? Well, everything! Not one thing goes as the instructions say... I'm using a y410p on 3.05 bios..... First, when trying to create a bootable dos usb - it gives media write protect. I have searched and performed 5-6 different methods to try and correct this, but nope still has problems. I resorted to going back to a very old lenovo thinkpad running vista to try... It did not give me the error but I really have no idea if it "worked". Secondly, I cannot create a bios backup because once I double click on the .bat nothing happens! Run it as admin in cmd prompt? Ok, did it.... It did nothing, no backup created. I then thought, maybe I can use my y510p bios that I already upgraded the bios over a year ago with....Nope, dragging and dropping the bios.bin on the y410p using the biosfixer does nothing. All it does is open the program and warns about reading instructions.... So I thought since I already have the 3.05modded bios from my y510p lets try that! Third, I go to downgrade the bios. I open the .exe it gives me an ac detect error....I search and find a solution that it is a bios setting. I reboot and enable backsupport in bios. Save and restart. I try to run the downgrader again, same AC detect error..... I have a new 7260 card that I would very much like to use (as I have with my y510p, what a difference!) but I can't get this bios updated/modded. If anyone can please shed some light on this and give me a hand I would very, very much appreciate it!! Thank you!
