    Problem Solved

    You have to Flash A02 and then Flash A09

    Hello Everyone,

    I have been a silent reader on this forum for a long long time but now i am in as a newbie. The problem is that my M15x is having A01 Bios and i want to upgrade it to A09. I am kind of worried since my warranty has expired and I have heard alot about Bricks due to Wrong Flashing.

    I want you all to guide me that should I flash the bios directly to A09 or should i go step by step? :confused2:

    Regards
    Saadleo

    I believe I'm the only one having bricked their system BIOS flashing. I was able to get it fixed though, with the help of many great forum members, especially some guy. I would say, don't worry. As long as its plugged in, and your temps are good. Youll be fine.
