AC Power MUST be connected for the required steps to update a BIOS:
- Download and save the BIOS .zip file.
- Check the properties of the downloaded file to un-tick any 'blocked' messages.
- Next please ensure you extract the .zip file to a new folder.
There are two update options, one for the BIOS and one for the BIOS + Intel Mangement Engine Firmware.
1. Regular BIOS Update (Recommended)
- Locate and run the version named application file. 'TMB713.exe' for example with a grey and green icon.
- Accept the prompts to restart and begin the update. Once completed your laptop will turn off, and will need to be manually turned back on. Please allow 1-2 minutes for it to start by itself after you press the button.
2. BIOS + ME Firmware (Only suggested when needed)
- Run the 'WMeset' application file to correctly prepare your laptop for the update after it restarts for you.
- Right click and open the properties for the 'FPTW64' file, and ensure under the 'Compatibility' tab that it's ticked to 'Run this as administrator'.
- Run the 'FlashMEWinX64' batch file by simply double clicking it.
- The final stage will follow as listed above from the 'Regular BIOS Update' steps.
