BIOS Flashing Failure (Gateway Laptop)
ChargerSRT8
Tropical Island
I Have a Gateway MX6938m (Laptop), I was Told that to be Able to Install WinXP Pro SP2 I Needed to Update The BIOS, Do The Fact that The Factory Installed BIOS Disables The Option to.
I was Flashing The BIOS, The Battery was Unplugged, I was Working on AC Power, There was a Blackout, The Next Thing I Know When I Turn The Power On, is that The Screen Remains Black, it doesn't Boot Up, but it Reads The DVD-ROM and Starts The Fan.
What can be Done at This Point...? Is it Possible to Create a Bootable CD or USB Flash, so I can Set The BIOS Files There and Start The Thing...?
- Any Help Will be Appreciated.

You need to find a Electronics guy that can take the laptop apart and attempt to desolder the ROM chip and flash it manually ans solder it back in... We use to have a guy here at Icrontic that did these things. Anyone remember who it was?

What Does The USB FDD Boot Support, and Wake-on LAN Stand for?
USB FDD Boot Support allows a computer to boot from a floppy disk in a floppy drive connected via USB.
