    Hi guys,

    updated to the latest bios found on the clevo FTP and now my laptop won't re-start.
    It fires up but no display on internal LCD or external connection.

    any one can help me out how to recovery the bios?

    Thx

    The only thing you can try is to pop out the battery and remove the CMOS (button cell) battery from the motherboard. Press the power button to fully discharge it, wait a minute or two, then put them back in.

    If that doesn't work, then it's pretty safe to say that you probably had a bad flash that bricked the laptop. In that case, you'll have to RMA it for repair.

    Thx, I tried the cmos battery. But no go.
    Someone said it was possible to do FN+B or similar and have the firmware file on a USB stick. Any clue if this will work, if so how? As I have tried all possible ways.

    FN+B Does something.. but we don't know what it does. In your case it won't help you, but if you want to try just hold down FN+B and then turn it on.. When the HDD light flickers a bunch then let go.
