hello every one
please i need a bios update for a laptop as the topic implies
the main reason for upgrade (or a clean version ) is that there is this custom image that came along with the laptop that i want completely removed . . hence my asking for a clean version.
So far a search from the motherboard manufacturers site has yielded negative.here is what i gathered from using bios agent plus:
BIOS Type: Phoenix
BIOS Date: December 5th 2010
BIOS ID: MVINA001.86C.0000.D.1012051058 -None
BIOS OEM: 1.01.11ZI6
Chipset: Intel 2A40 rev 9
SuperIO: Unknown
Manufacturer: CLEVO CO.
Motherboard: C4100/C5100
all help is highly appreciated.
thanks

Is this a Toshiba or Lenovo laptop? Usually flashing the generic bios on a branded laptop will kill it...

thanks edwin fro the prompt reply actually it looks like a branded notebook but i can bet my last dollar that it is not because it says zinox on the outside,but when you look inside you get what i posted earlier on . . .
i dont know if i can get a tool that will properly show the necessary info of thenotebook.
thanks one again.

I think it is their Bijimi model because that is the only one handling a T4500 which the Lenovo 2949 series (another rebrand of this thing) is using. But even with that knowledge I do not expect any help from Zinox as ALL driver download files are corrupted. Yep, for now you are stuck with it I fear...
