Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure

If the power to your computer is interrupted while the POST and BIOS is being updated, your computer
might not restart correctly. If this happens, perform the following procedure to recover from the POST and
BIOS update failure. This procedure is commonly called Boot-block Recovery.

1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the computer. Then, disconnect

all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the computer.

2. Place a soft, clean towel or cloth on the desk or surface. Hold the sides of your computer and gently lay

it down so that the screen is against the surface and the cover is facing up.

3. Remove the computer stand.

4. Remove the computer cover.

5. Remove the system-board shield.

6. Locate the Clear CMOS /Recovery jumper on the system board.

7. Move the jumper from the standard position (pin 1 and pin 2) to the maintenance position (pin 2 and

pin 3).

8. Install the system-board shield.

9. Install the computer cover.

10. Install the computer stand.

11. Connect the external cables and the power cord to the computer.

12. Turn on the computer and then insert the POST and BIOS update (flash update) disc into the optical

drive. Wait a few minutes. Then, the recovery session begins. The recovery session will take two to
three minutes. During this time, a warning message will be displayed and no action is needed from you.

13. After the recovery session is completed, there will be no video, and your computer will automatically

turn off.

14. Repeat step 1 through step 6.

15. Move the Clear CMOS /Recovery jumper back to the standard position (pin 1 and pin 2).

16. Repeat step 8 through step 11.

17. Turn on the computer to restart the operating system.
