I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FS660W that uses a nVidia video chipset. I was have intermittent issues with the laptop. I found an update to the BIOS on Sony’s website and after chatting wiht a Sony tech, downloaded and installed the update. All went well and I got the message
The Update Process Completed Sucessfully, Press OK to Restart Your System”. After clicking on ‘OK’, the system shut down and now when I try to power it on, I get 1-long and 2-short beeps indicating that there is a video error at POST. As the unit is not under warranty anymore, I paid Sony $119.00 to do a diagnostic and they tell me it needs a new System Board for $729.00.
Is there a was to reset the BIOS back or replace it?
Sony says that although their tech recommended that I install the BIOS update, they will not cover the cost of getting my system running again.
PLEASE HELP!!!
