Madhouse Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I picked up a Dell D620 laptop in great shape, Core2Duo, 1.5GB RAM -- I'm actually on it right now.Here's the situation: I got it with a fried mobo, so I picked up a fresh one online. It was my first foray tearing down a laptop, and it was a job and a half! Anyway, all went well, and obviously, SHE'S ALIVE.However, when I boot up, I get:****PROCESSOR MICROCODE UPDATE FAILURE****THE REVISION OF THE PROCESSOR IN THE SYSTEM IS NOT SUPPORTEDPRESS F1 TO CONTINUE' date=' F2 TO ENTER SETUP[/quote']I'm getting ready to start a hard-target search for a bios update, but wondered if anybody could assist.Hardware:Processor: Intel Core2Duo, Merom, socket 479 mPGAMobo: Dell Inc, model OTD761 Bios: Dell Inc, A04, 08/28/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Sounds like the bios to me. Is the service tag visible on the mobo or in the bios itself?That will get you to the bios on the dell site pronto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 yup, good call, only problem is, I've replaced the system board so the service tag indicates the BIOS needed for the old board not this one :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I never should've doubted you man! I keyed in the service tag and it showed BIOS A10 was available over my A04.Worked like a charm. And I installed the chipset drivers too.
