Hello, people this is my first post on here.
I'm having a very strange problem, I got a laptop from my brother where the harddisk wasn't working. So I thought I could replace it with my original hard disk in my older laptop, same form factor etc. I uninstalled the drivers from my old laptop and reinstalled the correct drivers for my new laptop. I ended up re installing windows without any luck at all, and now I'm running Ubuntu Linux.
The Laptop is ASUS K53SV
The real problem I've discovered is that the bios on my ASUS K53SV motherboard isn't the right one, the BIOS installed is a K53SJ version. Which I at first thought wasn't the problem until I learned that the SJ Model isn't using the same GPU and I think it's a different CPU but I'm not sure, it's an Intel I5 Sandy bridge.
My question is, would it be possible to reflash the BIOS to the correct model (K53SV), and I've already tried to do it with EZFlash and WinFlash, but without luck though.. Is there any way to flash the BIOS to the stock model BIOS?
I haven't done anything to the computer other than updating to the latest version of the already installed BIOS but without luck.. I have searched and searched but couldn't find anything useful out there on the internet.
