SkorPwN Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Good Morning,After I upgraded the firmware of my GS70 successfully, I tried to flash my BIOS.( I know in retrospective, this was absurd).I used the files available from MSI download page, but it crashed midway, and tried to reboot. Then the drama starts : the laptop was running, with one fan (CPU) on full power, LEDs were on, but I had a black screen and the laptop was completely unresponsive.So I pulled out the battery, now the laptop won't boot, actually nothing happen, the laptop is a total brick.I suppose my BIOS is dead.After I read https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119375.0 , I come here for a little help.What should I have exactly on my USB drive, and what should I do with it ? (which button to push when I plug it in, with or without battery ?)Thanks a lot ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emxiaks Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Have you tried a full cold boot? Remove the battery and remove the AC adapter, then hold the power button for 30 seconds. Plug the AC adapter back in and hold the power button again. Does anything AT ALL happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unregistered User Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I take it you tried to Flash the bios in Windows? If so thats the mistake everyone makes. Its not the safest way of flashing.Now on MSI laptops you can try Dumping all the power out of the laptop.Thats removing the PSU and the Battery and holding the power button down for a while.Then using another PC format a USB Key with a FAT32 file system anything lower then 2GB USB should do. Download the latest Bios you can.Extract the Bios zip and locate the Bios file which is something like E1771IMS.70ENow place this file on the USB stick and also then rename the file on the USB stick to R.ROM.Place this USB into your laptop only plug back in the PSU leave Battery out!!!!!Press Power and then Spam CTRL + FN + Numpad 7Give it about 30 minutes just incase and then Power Down the laptop and then power back up. If that doesn't work the BIOS is Bricked and will need to be sent off to MSI to reprogram the chip.For future reference always flash a Bios via a DOS Bootable USB Stick, never use Windows to flash a Bios or EC Firmware it will end in issues.If Dos is not available and its UEFI with a Shell then use UEFI to flash the bios.

blaze Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have almost the same problem with GX660, IS there a problem if i try that with 8gb USB flash drive ? And only "bios" file must be on the drive or all (4) BIOS files which i got from Bios arhive ?When i try this, USB flashes for a 5-7 seconds, and nothing! What the problem could be ?
