[lone shore]

"BIOS Version 0042 - BEH6110H.86A.0042.2012.0327.2202" updates higher than this version, if you know where to find me please ping me i really need them to fix my built-in ethernet card and fix more issues on my bios so pls help gang 💔 😢

[dreamy ledge]

Please state what you are actually trying to achieve. Update the BIOS for what purpose?

[lone shore]

to fix

ethernet issue

although it's fixed now.. but i dont know if it'll be that way without an actual update

and for some reason the documents for the flashing say to use "BIOS recovery process"

for the first flash from 0042 to 0048

[dreamy ledge]

If the issue is fixed, make your backups and observe. Do not unfix it by fiddling with it.

[lone shore]

and the new updates also fix more issues like where the bios actually saves the hard drive boot order

[lone shore]

not really

[dreamy ledge]

If it does not save the boot order, you may be looking at an empty CMOS battery.

[lone shore]

i dont think so.. the VBAT is 3.3V it's perfect and if i had a bad cmos battery other settings would also reset

the latest version does fix that issue tho

[dreamy ledge]

If that is actually on the fix list, then that update might be useful.

[lone shore]

yes

and it might permanently fix my ethernet issue too

and maybe my channel B ram slot will start working too

Anything in here that helps?

not a single .pdf

no instructions

that's the thing i cant find

ok

@dreamy ledge my dumb ass didnt properly read the instructions

this one is for me

my bios is older than 0048

[dreamy ledge]

I guess you need to hunt down ExpressUpdate or iFlash Update.

[lone shore]

but the system indentification says intel me firmware ver. 0.0.0.0

[lone shore]

and you know what is express update?

[dreamy ledge]

Proprietary software to flash BIOS. You need to find it, I do not have it.

[lone shore]

or iflash update?

[lone shore]

oh well.. i've got it somewhere in a mess of files

found it

@dreamy ledge should i use the F7 bios update tool to update even though it doesn't say i should use it?

[dreamy ledge]

I have no idea. This is proprietary stuff, I never used it. Worst case, you brick your mainboard.

[lone shore]

yeah.. i m not doing it today

maybe when the ethernet starts to give me the same issue i'll update it then

drive boot order is not that big of an issue
