Ok, my brother owns a Excel G736 Laptop and he had been having trouble with the graphics in the machine flickering and going funny, so i told him to look up the manufacturer website for the mobo drivers and see if there was new drivers and BIOS. Here is the specs on the machine :

http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?MenuID=18&LanID=0&DetailID=363&DetailName=Specification

So he downloaded the 2 latest BIOS upgrades for his comp which came with the AMI Flash utility and he contuined to instal the earlier version FIRST instead of the latest because the earlier BIOS upgrade had a upgrade for his video card which is a M11 and not the M10.

Now, once he unzipped everything and started the Flash utility program, he NOTICED that the Flash utility was asking for a .rom FILE and the one he had downloaded was a .BA6 file, so he used it anyway. Now he is stuck with a Black screen every time he reboots his laptop, and he has no floopy drive in the thing to boot from a floopy.

Was wondering if we could get any help here please and also, any information on the right or correct procedure on how to flash this machines BIOS WOULD be very much appreciated.
