Hi,i have amilo v3515 .It's bios is 1.0J and i have tried to flash new bios(1.0M) but always give an error on EREASE BLOCK process.From windows with winpalash give me error 150 and from dos phlash16 give me errror -8956.I have also tried bios vesion 1.0K but same error.May be bios chip damage?
I'd assume you are using the wrong kinds of flash programmes with regards to your operating system. Which OS are you running? Doublecheck whether you downloaded the correct flashers for your OS...
I don't know if this will fit for your machine, but on my Siemens Esprimo i will first have to set the "Flash Write" option in the bios settings to "enabled". (Bios --> "Security" --> Flash Write) Perhaps there is a similar option in your bios ?
Sorry for that. Have you tried to get the Bios as a bootable Image ? You can burn this image to a CD-R or CD-RW and boot from that media. I think this is the "cleanest" way to perform a bios flash
