K900 | That you can flash through the firmware UI | 13:43:10 |
K900 | Or maybe fwupd | 13:43:12 |
@rikudou:lemmings.world | fwupd didn't find any updates, no idea where to find the capsule image :/ | 14:20:21 |
K900 | What's your motherboard model? | 14:21:49 |
@rikudou:lemmings.world | MSI MS-1592 | 15:24:00 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | rikudou@lemmings.world: That's a laptop? | 15:25:06 |
@rikudou:lemmings.world | Yep | 15:25:14 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | In that case you need the model | 15:25:40 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | I wouldn't get my hopes up of that working or you being able to flash a BIOS | 15:25:58 |
@rikudou:lemmings.world | In reply to @atemu12:matrix.org In that case you need the model I'm not sure what do you mean? LIke, you can flash the BIOS easily using their Windows tools, so is there no way to do it in Linux? | 15:27:09 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | If it's not in fwupd, I wouldn't count on it. | 15:27:27 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | What's the exact model of that laptop? | 15:27:41 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | That's what you need to Google and see whether MSI offers downloads | 15:27:55 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | Not the Mobo id | 15:28:09 |
@rikudou:lemmings.world | In reply to @atemu12:matrix.org What's the exact model of that laptop? MSI Prestige 16 A12UD-201CZ | 15:28:18 |
K900 | https://www.msi.com/Business-Productivity/Summit-E16-Flip-A11X-RTX/support?sub_product=Summit-E16Flip-A11UCT | 15:28:26 |
K900 | Possibly? | 15:28:30 |
@rikudou:lemmings.world | In reply to @atemu12:matrix.org That's what you need to Google and see whether MSI offers downloads They do, they offer some file and an exe tool for flashing it | 15:28:34 |
K900 | At least that's what Google says | 15:28:35 |
K900 | In reply to@rikudou:lemmings.world They do, they offer some file and an exe tool for flashing it If the file is just a 16MB/32MB blob, it's probably flashable from the BIOS setup menu itsefl | 15:28:53 |
K900 | * If the file is just a 16MB/32MB blob, it's probably flashable from the BIOS setup menu itself | 15:28:55 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | You're in Luck, it seems like they do offer a download | 15:29:11 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | Now to hope the BIOS lets you flash | 15:29:21 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | Because why would you do that? You'd obvious use our amazing flashing util on your favourite OS Windows | 15:29:46 |
@rikudou:lemmings.world | I've already downloaded, I'm just not sure how to do it, they don't provide any instructions | 15:30:07 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | Put it onto an MBR FAT32 USB and boot into UEFI | 15:30:30 |
@rikudou:lemmings.world | I've downloaded this: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Prestige-16-A12UD/support
The first file with E1592IMS.10F as a version | 15:30:31 |
K900 | Look for stuff that says "flash" or "update" in the BIOS | 15:31:06 |
@rikudou:lemmings.world | Will do, just have to find some USB stick lying around, thanks for your help so far! | 15:31:38 |
| @zhenbo:matrix.org left the room. | 18:03:53 |
