    Hallo.

    My R720 is "dead" .

    After flashing the Bios there's only a black screen and the touchpad -led are on.

    Also the fan starts sometimes.

    I found the CRISIS pins on the mobo and connected them to recover the bios from the boot-block-method.

    But it doesn't seem to work with an usb stick. I want to try it with a usb

    floppy, but the .wph file is 1.57 MB. Too big for a 1.44 floppy. Does anybody

    know, if you can format a 2.88 floppy in a 1.44 floppy drive ?

    Maybe somebody knows the right key combination to enter the crisis at Samsung notebooks ?

    I found the Wincris tool 1.0.0.4. So i was able to put the bios on a 1.44 MB disk because it is compressed.

    The problem is, that still nothing happens.

    Here is a pic of the Crisis pins i connected. Someone there who knows the key combination ?
