TheLittleStar Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 i've been tryin to find the recovery for ages, seems like all the other 8.1 iso doesnt work on my laptop. do you still have the exact name of the file you downloaded? (or the torrent name?)It's not a recovery with windows.I did a pure install from null with USB drive.Will fit any windows 8.1 iso single language to use your license.

LAZYB Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 i've been tryin to find the recovery for ages, seems like all the other 8.1 iso doesnt work on my laptop. do you still have the exact name of the file you downloaded? (or the torrent name?)When I installed my OS again I put a windows 8 clean os into my usb and checked OEM install, that way it took the license from teh laptop itself.I don't knwo if that is what you are asking.

Avitar Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 sadly not all of us have credit cards. and we're just on the breaking point with frustration.. and we must make 5 posts to download the tools we need. I guess i won't be fixing my laptop tonight. I understand that the site owners need the money and stuff, but surely there must be a better way. My laptop (y500) boots with a blank screen without loading the BIOS and keeps restarting. Sadly enough, changing a setting in svl17's modded BIOS is what caused the issue. This laptop cost a fair amount and it's really fast.. but thanks to this guy's BIOS and my own laziness to "load setup defaults" I guess this laptop's busted.I give up. but i gotta say, extorting money to download the only files that can fix the issue, is really LOW. Thanks techinferno. Let's hope I can make "5 quality posts" with my frustrated mind and weary body at 1am in the morning.Update: I've made 5 quality posts and instead of adding to my post count, the mods are subtracting my posts. I made 12 quality posts and I had 3 credits. Now I have 2. This is bordering on totally unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

own4ft Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Updated my BIOS last night for my y500. Worked like a charm with no errors, and it was easy as pie. Now I cant wait to get my new wifi card so I can stop with the drops on that piece of crap centrino 2230. I don't have a lot of experience flashing bios and I have only ever done it with bios provided by the manufacturer so I was a bit nervous I was going to brick my laptop but it was smooth sailing.Thanks svl7!!!!

henrylife Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 How do we check the version of bios? From BIOS you can see the version or from dxdiag under "System" tab in System Information it says the BIOS version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slate Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 svl7 this guide is great, except I am confused on how to get a modified bios file. I have all of the utilities downloaded, but I continue to get compatibility errors when I try to run them. Not sure what to do from here, can you help? I have a bootable usb drive ready.
