I can't find a socketed bios in the motherboard...so I guess I have one try. Can anyone help me out in making a target build(I wouldn't bother you and try to do it myself if I had more than one chance). It's either make it work and make me happy, or put the laptop in the garbage..independently of frying the bios or not. Thank you
