Thanks all for your replies
This is not a windows update or windows installation problem. I was flashing the bios to 1.8
Yes, I followed the instructions and successfully update all machinefirmware to version 1.8 except for this machine. It stopped at “Erasing Main Block) and then screen went blank after a long time. I don’t think I can enter bios at all now. Is this machine bricked? Or can I still recover it?
Aahh, OK, that doesn't sound so good unfortunately !! Obviously these devices don't have removable BIOS chips that are relatively easy to replace if completely corrupted like some larger motherboards from a typical PC, for example.
Chances are it may well be bricked if nothing you've tried can seem to initiate a fresh update.
If your devices are still within their warranty period, your best option would be to contact MINIX directly via email to explain exactly what has happened. You'll get a faster response from them directly too.
