Hi guys,

I have a laptop at work which is a pain in the ass. It says it isn't charging the battery when it is, and then it says battery is at 0% which it isn't. The battery and power adapter have been replaced by previous techs but it did not fix the issue. Rather than ordering a whole new mainboard, I want to extract the BIOS then re-write it...there are no new BIOS updates for this particular model.

Does anyone know of any utility that can do this? Or anyone have experience with this?

I gotta point out, assuming their was an error with the BIOS.... dumping it and re-writing it the error is still going to be there in the dumped BIOS..... your best off looking for the version online you need..... Tried looking into simply resetting to defaults CMOS first? It could be a costly mistake

Id be looking at more the pins that connect battery to motherboard if they take alot of stress its feasible ones broken free and no longer in contact with the motherboard, hence mis reporting, a little solder reflow might fix it.

Can you not order the Bios chip itself from manufacturer? I know there's no updates
for it, but you might be able to acquire the chip itsefl? Maybe? Dunno??
