    yes, I have read this thread. the follow is what i do:
    1, i format a thumb driver , and copy the file 30F7F55D.FD to the thumb driver
    2, Rename the 30F7F55D.FD to 30F7.BIN
    3, put off the battery and AC adapter
    4, insert the thumb driver
    5, press the "win"+B, then insert the AC adapter
    6, press the power button, then release it, i can see the touch panel LED is red. and hear three beepings, i release the "win" and B
    7, the laptop is beeping, i think it is flashing BIOS.
    8, some seconds later, the computer shutdown itself.
    9, i remove the thumb driver, and press power button ,......it doesn't work!! still blackscreen!!
