Subj - does anyone have such an experience (actually, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of such a lucky ones%)?Well, the story is: I have V6535 with original BIOS version 1.18, and I've found BIOS v.1.22 at. Actually my reason to update was a wild guess that it would be possible to turn off Quiet Boot (or how it should be called on Fujitsu Siemens - I hate to see vendor logo instead of POST information) at this version, but anyways.So I've downloaded, closed all running applications as I was told (LOL) and ran it. Everything goes ok to the end, after update finished I've got a long beeeeep and system goes to reboot.After that system doesn't boot - I press power button, HDD starts, HDD and Power LEDs light but the screen is black and POST error beep goes after a while - one long and two short ones.So all this pretty much looks like a dead BIOS after reflash and I have to familiarize myself with (hello, Phoenix BIOS). So I've wrote all this just in case someone gives me any other idea before I'd start it;).
Same problem here with V6535. I noticed that when extracting the.iso image some files are corrupt (0kb in size), which could result in our bad BIOS flashing (I guess). And besides that, on the download page we can't find the initial BIOS version (which in my case is v1.60) for my Esprimo V6535.
Isn't that stupid.I read some discutions about BIOS recovery and, because our BIOS is made by Phoenix, we need to use phlas16.exe, autoexec.bat (in which we must se the parameters to load the.wph file) and, of course, the BIOS binary file (blabla.wph).To start reflashing the BIOS we also need an external Floppy Disk Drive (USB).More tips at:Please give us a sign if someone finds the way to recover our machines.(and please excuse my bad english).

So god-awful F-S owes me $20 more%)But after all, I've finally got D45V122.WPH (2.109.791 bites) from CD image, and now starts part 2 of our issue%)t For me the right version of wincrisis.exe was essentiallyt On my FSC v6535 wincrisis.exe 1.0.0.4 from worked fineThere did you get it?
The one I have is 1.0.0.2 from. And it looks like it doesn't work properly with USB drives - can you please give here a link on v.1.0.0.4 or send it to me by e-mail?t with the following instruction help:Thanks for that, but it looks like I have no chance to use your instructions w/o proper wincrisis.exe:(And one more question:t Hold keys Fn + FHow did you know what 'Fn'+'F' put V6535 into boot-block mode? I mean have you got any signs of boot-block mode like this (taken from ):. The CPU fan turns at a higher speed than usual, making more noise. The power LED lights up, possibly in a different color than usual.
Caps Lock and Num lock LEDs light up, even though the keyboard itself does not function. The hard drive does not spin up. Other than that, the system will appear to be dead.Because after I put a power plug in and hit Power button both holding 'Fn'+'F' (accu is unplugged as well as HDD, optical drive is empty), damn thing just 'appears to be dead'%).

Cuz it's not working with Fn + F,or B or S or.Well, the same question here, though on some forums dedicated to the same problem I've found some mentioning that there is no need in any key stokes - with appropriate boot device everything happened by itself in some mysterious way.%)g i need bios file for v6535!Well, everyone needs it, but you are a lucky guy - you can get it.
