Lenowo G580 BIOS Update: Facing Error 255 TDK Library Initialization Failure

Question

Today I wanted to update my bios, because apparently in the new one you can switch graphics cards (i.e. on which the computer is supposed to work now). Unfortunately, when you try to run the update installer, it displays something like this:
error 255 tdk library initialization failed

What's next?

And in the current BIOS, in the Configuration - Graphic Device tab, what options do you have to choose from.

DriverMSG · Answer

Installing the package in Windows.
======================
1. This BIOS is only for Windows 7 32/64.
Check your OS is x86(32bit) or x64. Locate the file 62cn40ww_32 or 62cn40ww_64 that has been downloaded.
2. Run 62CN40WW_YY.exe as administrator .
(62cn40ww_32.exe is for X86 system; 62cn40_64.exe is for X64 system).
3. This program will flash new BIOS to your PC without interventions, at last PC will auto restart.

In bios, I have a choice of Switchable Graphics and UMA Graphics Bogdan K .

DriverMSG I also read that note. I have Win 7 64bit, I download the bios file to my 62cn40ww_64.exe system and when I run it as admin, this error keeps popping up.

Your case is not alone. Enter the exact model of your laptop - write down all the data from the sticker underneath it.

Dj_Majster · Answer

Lenovo G580AH I5 3230M - 4GB - 1000 - DVD RW - 7HP64X - GF710M That's the whole sticker. Anything else needed?

DriverMSG · Answer

Switch in bios - Bios Mode to Legacy and check again.

Dj_Majster · Answer

Unfortunately, I do not have such an option, the possibility of switching something like this in the bios.

DriverMSG · Answer

It should be in the BOOT tab.

Dj_Majster · Answer

As I mentioned earlier, I do not have such an option in bios in this tab. The only options are: UEFI boot: I have it set to off, then I have: Disk CD Network

Dj_Majster · Answer

I understand that the problem is probably hard to solve ... I thought maybe UEFI had something to do with it. I turned on but it did not help, the error still pops up.

DriverMSG · Answer

Write to Lenovo Support - I'm curious about their answers.

Dj_Majster · Answer

I wrote, as soon as they write back I will let you know. They wrote back nothing.

Dj_Majster · Answer

Run 62CN40WW_YY.exe as administrator. (62cn40ww_32.exe is for X86 system; 62cn40_64.exe is for X64 system) The problem is that on the lenovo servers there is only the file ... 32.exe, and when enabling the download of the file ... 64.exe the installation instructions are displayed.

master-007 · Answer

Copy the link for 32Bit version: Replace link 32 with 64 Paste into the browser. Enjoy.

Dj_Majster · Answer

I admit cunningly However, I downloaded the error, the same keeps showing ... Error 255 ...

xoree · Answer

I had a similar problem - but I did not think about reprogramming with the programmer. However, I am curious if it can be solved differently.
On the other hand, if you care about time, that's the only way to solve it. Unfortunately, you can only do it in a service (for a fee).
You can buy a cheap programmer and do it yourself, but you need to have some knowledge.

Dj_Majster · Answer

It sounds serious. I didn't get any reply from Lenovo.
