Hey 

my laptop has a corrupted bios 

after holding WIN+V it gives a message saying I have to make a USB for BIOS Recovery 

i downloaded the bios update utility (SP140295) 

but when I launch the app it either shows nothing 

or gives an error message, tried WINFLASH.EXE on 4 different computers:

1- HP Mini tower running win 10 ( error )

2 - DELL VOSTRO with win 11 the app doesn’t open

3 - DELL LATITUDE with win 10 the app doesn’t open

4 - ASUS with win 8 the app doesn’t open 

 

Can I have access to the BIOS RECOVERY FILES to just copy/past them on the USB ?

used another pc (Macbook2,1) Macbook 2007 running windows 7 32, the program worked fine

I believe the BIOS UPDATE UTILITY is made to work on 32Bit systems only 

 

if anyone faces this issue please try a 32bits machine it’ll most definitely work
