10-29-2011, 03:30 AM
Hi, Using Dell Support Center, I downloaded and tried to install this update. But, after running R300869.exe, "Biomak Version 2.10 for DOS" just came up and nothing happened. After pressing enter it just closed. It didn't update. Is the update very important, or is there any way to get it to install properly? Thank you |

the Dell site should tell you about the BIOS upgrade and what it contains...if it doesnt concern you dont bother unless you want a very expensive paper weight/door stop or would like to come back on here and start a new post asking how to UNBRICK your Mini....  PS. Welcome to the forum.........  |

It's recommended, but not critical. Close all open applications, disable any AV and malware scanners. Plug in the AC adapter and make sure the battery is at least 75% charged to prevent an unexpected shutdown. Browse to c:\dell\drivers\r300869, double click win_samosa12.exe, then click the start button. Worked fine for me just now going from A11 to A12 and only took a couple of minutes. KuoH Quote:
