Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - How to force flash a Gateway notebook BIOS?

Potted Meat · 05-17-2008, 08:36 PM

I have a Gateway NX570X notebook.

I'm searching for the procedure to force flash this BIOS with a USB floppy or USB drive, etc. The mainboard is Intel and the BIOS is Phoenix TrustedCore. The PC is a little over a year old. I've read countless forum posts about other brands having such a procedure but have been unable, after weeks of researching, to come across a procedure for a Gateway.

Edit: Full specs of the board are here:

I've contacted Gateway a dozen times but am met with robotic responses that have little to do with my issue. I also am slowly working my way to tech support people at Intel and Phoenix.

I'm hoping, however, that someone here has some insight to share.

Thanks so much!
