WYLCaRD Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hey all,tried updating my bios and to A09 and it came up that the bios could no be dflashed. That's when I noticed my keyboard stopped working. Cursor was still going so I shut down and the screen starts doing all funny stuff before freezing up and now nothing works, not even the power button.Is there any way to recover it or do I send it back to Dell? It's out of warranty as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Well, assuming you have an M17x R3 then you could try this procedure: http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware-m17x/1978-%5Bm17x-r4%5D-bricked-bios-fix.htmlBios recovery name is PAR00X64.fd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYLCaRD Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Thanks for the suggestion mate! I was lucky enough that when I drained the battery then plugged it back in, the beast booted up properly. *Phew* Some cold sweat moments there though. Trying to find out more on updating my bios at the moment as I'm running an A03 on my R2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
