Overview

This is BIOS version 36.01.00 for the Solo 1450 portable computer.


Identification

If you have a Solo 1450 portable computer, upgrade to this BIOS.


Installation

The BIOS should be updated or flashed if:

1.  You are updating to a newer BIOS revision.

2.  A Gateway technician has told you to flash or re-flash the computer.

Use the following steps to flash or re-flash the computer.

1.  Copy all of the BIOS files from the C:\CABS\9522082 folder to a blank floppy disk. 

2.  Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive, and then restart the computer.

3.  To begin the BIOS flash process, at the A:\ prompt, type: 360100.  Press the ENTER key.

4.  The computer automatically restarts when the flash is complete.


Removal

Because a computer must have a BIOS to operate, there is no removal process.


Troubleshooting

If you have trouble flashing the BIOS, try it again following the steps listed in this document.  If you still have difficulty, verify that you are attempting to flash the BIOS on a Solo 1450 portable computer and not any other computer.  If this still fails, contact technical support.
