The error is :
the battery must be charged above 10 before the system bios can be flashed
My equipment is:
Laptop DELL Inspiron N5110
Windows Technical Preview
Processor: Intel I7 – 2630QM @2.00GHz
RAM : 4 GB
OS : 64-bit
The laptop's battery is dead. Is there a way to passing this step?
Answer > Update:
Oh yeah, and do make sure to use the latest upgrade. In your error screenshot above I can see you’re using an older update.
I suggest you use Rufus to create a MS-DOS-bootable USB drive and then run the upgrade from DOS. Of course, you’ll have to copy the update to the USB drive as well.
Rufus settings should be set as following:
Then, after booting from the USB drive, simply start the flash program:
Then, follow the steps the flash program walks you through.
Like the others said, you might want to try the
/ForceIt
parameter. With a slash, not a dash. ;)Answer:
- Download the latest firmware from the Dell support
- Save the exe and create a shortcut with the following parameter: "
/writehdrfile
" - Start the created shortcut and it will create a n5110a11.hdr file rename the file to N5110.hdr
- Create a shortcut exe file with the following parameter: "
/writeromfile
" - Start the created shortcut and it will create a n5110a11.rom file rename the file to DQ15A11.rom
- Copy both file N5110.hdr and DQ15A11.rom to a FAT formatted pendrive's root folder
- Remove the charger and Battery from the laptop
- Plug In the pendrive
- Press & hold END
- Connect the charger (still hold END)
- The notebook starts automatically and shows the recovery screen
- Press enter and wait until finish the flashing
- Press esc to restart
- Hopefully problem solved
I have the same problem but a Dell Inspiron 5555. I couldn't get the first part (the bootable USB) to work. So, I am trying to follow the part after ANSWER above. Since I have a different model number, what should I do for the file naming conventions of the .hdr and .rom files? Note, the current BIOS version for my model is "A12". Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI beg ya pardon I am stuck at step 2? How on the earth to create the shortcut with parameter? I tried everything.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot
