QUOTE(efariz @ May 8 2013, 10:59 PM) which one not easy? Both also not easy. u need to get a compatible intel wifi card for Y400 since not all intel wifi card can be used even with the same model. Steps to unlock the bios are very risky and not easy to master for a newbie.  This post has been edited by ytlay: May 8 2013, 11:11 PM |

Not so big deal. Flashing only takes like 15 minutes or less and it is reversible. What you need is a 4 Gb pendrive make it bootable into MS-DOS. Type few commands :3 Try it will not harm your computer, what you need is a steady calm mind to read instructions :3 This post has been edited by AiSheep: May 9 2013, 11:28 AM |

QUOTE(efariz @ May 9 2013, 12:12 PM) oh, so better backup bios..if i mess up the bios, will windows will be affected? mess up the BIOS, your laptop will not boot anymore... backing up BIOS is useful if you somehow don't like the new BIOS but it's useless if you somehow messed up the flashing procedure and your laptop becomes a super-duper-expensive-paper-weight, thus the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"but nowadays, the only way I can think of to get the flashing procedure wrong is by having the power supply interrupted while flashing, so as long as you good battery running in your laptop no need to worry much... Other than that, maybe if you're using removable drive to store the flashing utilities, make sure it won't get removed accidentally... got this covered, usually not much can mess you up.... the power supply interruption always haunts me when I'm flashing new BIOS on desktops since I dont have UPS and there's no guarantee the power in my house going to be ok...
