Hello,
Last two days I had an adventure with my VAIO SVE1511NFXS when I was trying to unlock the bios advanced menu I found in this forum someone confirms unlocked version for my laptop, I downloaded it and flashed my bios, then I restarted my laptop and once it's shut down to reboot it's totally dead and shut down, then the laptop is not starting any more, neither via the power button nor the assist button, the laptop became totally dead! I tried every possible way to have my laptop powering but it's not anymore.
I took it to my friend who is working with laptop hardware maintenance, he opened my laptop, and removed the bios chip from the motherboard, and we tried to find an original full backup for my bios over the internet but we didn't manage!
we only found backup for the laptop model SVE15128CXS, both laptop have almost same specs, but not identical, we take the risk and flashed that one on the bios chip via his tools, then re-installed the chip on the motherboard, now the laptop is powering on, and running normally, but whenever I tried to enter to the bios menu it's showing only blank screen, and when I use the assist menus it shows that my laptop model is SVE15128CXS.
Now my laptop booting and I can use it, but it's not in the optimal state. How can I re flash my bios with the original version of the bios?
I tried to download the bios update which provided on Sony website: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-downlo...roup_id=24
But it's not accepting to flash it giving the error that this flash it not for my laptop model (as the model number changed when we flashed the bios with different model bios backup file)
I can extract the file R0200E5.bin from the above Sony flash file, but don't know how to force flashing it! and if I did will it allow my bios to work again? or we should get full backup from similar laptop (which not looks to be easy unless if there is someone who can help)?
Also I have to mention that the full backup file which we flashed from the alternate model was sized about 8 MB, while the file R0200E5.bin which provided by Sony in the above link is only 3MB.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!
