Hello everyone,
i am searching for a solution of the same problem:
Lenovo Thinkcentre a61e, 6417-12G, AMD SEMPRON LE-1150
Try to update my bios inside windows XP SP3 > After Restart > BIOS don't boot.
the CMOS/Recovery method (jumer 2-3) works normally in my opinion, but:
Power ON: Computer starts by itself
> no keystroke > wait some seconds
> 1 beep > screen changed from no video to white blank video (740x400)
> USB Floppy (or USB-Key) starts to read file (version : 2ZKT45A)
(must have the name BIOS2Z.bin, otherwise > error beeps)
> after reading the file > followed by 2 beeps and computer shuts down automatically.
> changed jumper position (1-2) > starts with pushing the power button.
> blank screen, no video,
> after ~5 seconds the fan stops, but computer is still on with no more activity :-(
My old BIOS was from 2007 - the last chance, i think, is try to recover with an older bios which i similar to the old one.
My Question: did anyone have any old bioses here ??
The file BIOS2Z.bin (1024KB) is enough for this procedure.
Would be sad for such a little computer to die before his time ;-)
Thanks a lot
sirtas
