[QUOTE="Deleted member 2913, post: 446262"] The BIOS I flashed was from 2011. Thats the latest for my model on Lenovo support. And BIOS is not detailed...very few stuffs. Like If I check my HP BIOS it has many stuffs including FAN - always enabled option. Lenovo BIOS only shows HDD, RAM, BIOS version, BIOS number, CD/DVD, HDD password, date/time, boot order, etc... no option for FAN. And Lenovo BIOS does seems basic compared to HP BIOS. Lenovo BIOS is Phoenix BIOS. Is there Phoenix BIOS official site that provide latest Phoenix BIOS? Would it be good to update if BIOS is available from official Phoenix site? But I would need bootable BIOS flash. Previously too I flashed with bootable USB. Flasing within Windows i.e Hirens bootable - MiniXP - mention battery not available (battery is finished & laptop is used with power cord). About FAN - I dont see any heating prob, etc... I only got concerned about FAN when Lenovo diag showed FAN not available. So could be FAN prob or Lenovo diag not reporting correctly. Can I try this Lenovo FAN test within Windows i.e Hirens boot - MiniXP? Is it for Windows system?
