Unfortunately what appeared according to WinPlash to be a good BIOS upgrade bricked the Vaio VGN-FE41Z laptop!
I had already prepared a bootable Phoenix Crisis Recovery diskette (and CD) so I figured it would be sorted out quickly.
However it turns out that either this BIOS doesn't support the boot-time hot-key, or the key combination on this model is different from the expected Fn+B / Win+B options.
Has anyone heard of, or done, a crisis recovery procedure on a Vaio laptop or notebook?
