I was updating my BIOS version from 1.04 to 1.10. But after update my system doesn't boot, only a black screen comes, keyboard backlight remains on. I think my BIOS is corrupted. I want to recover my previous BIOS version by using a USB flash drive recovery. I watched some youtubers and those were 2-3 year old videos and they were saying that you need to copy .fd file to USB drive. But I found that now all BIOS versions comes with .bin file. So some youtubers suggests to rename that bin file extension to .fd file and you can find its name in hex editor by searching .fd, then in may case I opened 'abobios.bin' into hex editor and I searched for .fd file but there was nothing what I was looking for. Now I don't know what to rename that bin file to flash that BIOS? In some old articles people are saying to edit that file to 'ZG5IA32.fd' but I am not sure. What is the current full process to flash the BIOS. Please can anyone help me! I am also attaching screenshot of files got extracted from 'GH5VZ104.exe' Thanks.
