Emachine laptop dead after flash
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 6:48 pm
I attempted to flash my emachines M5312 Laptop. The flash seemed to go fine but after reboot the unit turned off and now will not POST.
MOBO: Arima W720-K7
Chip: MX29f004tqc-90
BIOS File: 720ME009.WPH
I initially used phlash.exe. I am attempting a HOT FLASH but have run into an issue.
When using phlash16.exe 1.4 build 59a it cannot find the chip ID.
I then attempted to use UNIFLASH. It can see the correct chip but gives me an error when flashing that the file is too big for the chip.
I see the WPH file is 516k in size. I have searched the forum and found similar issues but with no specific resolution, some say to edit the file and chop it down to 512K, what specific program shoud I use to do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
