    So i've had my 7915u for a while now, and it seems like a pretty decent laptop. my problem is that this morning I heard it make a funny creaking sound while closing the lid. been hearing it all day while opening and shutting it. kinda freaking out. does anyone with the 7915u or any other similar kind have the same problem?

    Sorry i cant help you with this problem...

    But i'm asking if you could dump/save/take a backup of your bios from laptop and send it to me... It can be done with phoenix winflash.

    I flashed accidentally a wrong bios to my laptop and now it only beeps because of wrong video bios. Older model has m9800gts and mine (and yours) has gtx260m.
