Chronos 7 NP780Z5E-S01UB

New Samsung laptop owner and new to Samsung altogether and I'm impressed! .

Until the recent bios updated (~released in January), "P03ABU"

After I updated the laptop It fails to reboot/sleep.

Anybody hitting this issue?
How can I revert the bios?
Any updates coming?
Anybody have a previous rom image version than the "P03ABU"?

The motherboard is from American Megatrends and they have the "AFU" flashing tool. I fished through Samsung's update package but all files in it are encrypted, hence can't be opened by "AFU" tool from American Megatrends.

Thanks!

 

If your Windows is still booting then check the BIOS settings which will have reset to default. Note, however, that you can change some of the BIOS settings using the Samsung "Settings" program so I would check there first.

If Windows doesn't boot then check the UEFI and related settings in the BIOS.Next read this this and this threads and decide which gives the closest match to your problem.

Thanks very helpful.

I ended up RMA'ing it as I hit a "can't secure bios" issue. The "P03ABU" update has caused problems on two of these models :S

This issue is due to Intel HD 4000 update.
