bios was updating and power got cut, now brick, i tried fn+esc, fn+b, fn+f, fn+r, win+esc, win+b, win+f, win+r, with the phoenix recovery via usb, i hear some people mention it didnt work for them via usb flash drive but using a usb floppy drive actually helped, however my bios file is larger then a 1.44mb standard floppy, you would think a laptop like this only 1-2 years old has no phoenix bios recovery support, desoldering the rom is the last resort and i wont be able to do for a while.

928bv09cs.zip is the name of the bios, just incase anybody wants to try to edit it and see if there's a different key press, it was erasing the block's then power cut thats it

sager must have some kind of recovery keypress, it's phoenix bios after all, maybe more then 2 key?

thanks for reading.

You have the main bios and the EC, flashing mostly goes kaputt in the EC because takes longer time, no keypress will help you then. You can contact these guys:
