Hello All,
MY Sager NP8651/Clevo P650SE laptop with a Samsung 850 EVO SSD suddenly takes about 3-5 minutes to boot up to the OS whether it's Windows or Linux. I had never flashed a firmware update and on contacting Sager support, who were helpful, provided me with the latest BIOS and EC firmware.
I used the MS-DOS and the windows version of the BIOS updater, but it wouldn't update the BIOS. I would get an error. The error log is below:
The EC flash worked and it's currently on v1.05. But my BIOS is at v1.03.06RLS11.03
As per the Sager support, the BIOS chip is corrupted and I'll need to ship it to the factory for getting it fixed, which will cost a lot.
I tried to flash with the BIOS from the below thread, but it too didn't work.
And before anybody asks, I followed the instructions to a T, especially running Meset.exe first and then flashme.
Is there a way I can wipe the BIOS clean and flash the latest BIOS? I'm OK with installing a Modded BIOS as well.
@Klem - Please don't mind, I'm tagging you for your help as you recently helped someone with another issue but the same laptop model.
Regards,
Nuttty
