Hello all,
I have a DH61BE that on which I am trying to update the BIOS. I have been able to update my 0020 to 0048 using Windows update file. According to literature, I need to use the .bio file using BIOS recovery to change the Intel Management Engine Firmware from 7.x to 8.x before I can move higher than 0048. I have attempted this several times without luck. Here are the steps I follow:
- Download the 0048 .bio file to another computer
- I have copied the .bio file to a CD and a USB drive root directory, with no other files on media
- Place cd or USB in to target machine (I have tried both front USB and main board USB ports)
- Shut down and unplug
- Pull the BIOS jumper
- Power up
- Let set until system processes (3 to 5 minutes)
This is where I don't get results; I power up, the fans spin, some little lights turn on, but the screen remains asleep and even after 10 minutes nothing else happens. If I shut down and replace the BIOS jumper the machine boots up and the IME firmware remains a 7.x version. The machine works fine and windows starts fine, but I would like to get higher than the 0048 version.
I have also removed the CMOS battery for 40 minutes and repeated above.
Any thoughts about this, or tricks that might help?
I might try burning the CD in Live File and a second in Mastered to see if this makes a diff.
Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions. Feel free to laugh if I am missing something obvious or doing something stupid! :>)
