Greetings from Venezuela.
This post is to request some help from any of you guys. My Sony Vaio SVF142C29U received a notification from the Sony Update software requesting permission to update the computer's BIOS to version R0230DA, which I accepted. The BIOS flashed fine (installation was successful it said). However, computer does not boot and when I turn it on it shuts down by itself in a couple seconds. I have access to another working computer bought at the same store (VAIO FIT 14E) but with a lesser processor but same motherboard.
I have tried to download and rename the original Bios file and put it on USB and CD-ROM for it to recover and also pressing keyboard combinations without success. I don't know the correct naming or key presses for the recovery file. Also, I don't know if the computer is trying to read from USB or CD.
If anybody can tell me how I can recover my computer and make it boot again, I would highly appreciate it. I don't have the money to get a new one at this point and it is my main computer. Also, it is out of warranty.
In case you need me to do anything on any of the 2 computers or you need me to provide any additional information, please let me know. Any help is highly appreciated.
Again, best of regards and thanks in advance...
