imagoon the answer for the notebook type its a N1020v

The repair price according to compact service is among 500 Dollars
So they probably will change the motherboard

Sounds about right. 400 ish for the board plus labor puts it easy in the 500$ range.

Next time be 100% sure that you have the right rompaq. Also don't update it unless there is a real reason to do so. To many things can go wrong with a BIOS update. Esp since Compaq is to cheap to make the rom removable or have a recovery jumper. (They used to about 3-4 years ago.)

I have the same problem.

But, I've been reading, and it appears that modern BIOS have a boot block that is not overwritten whet the bios is flashed (updated).

It seems that you can restore the BIOS with some kind of special procedure, anyone knows something about it?
