Hi,

I have Iwill motherboard VD133PL and Award bios chip. the bios name i get is Winbond 29c020 /5v. I'm trying to find the bin file but no luck. I've looked thru the Iwill and Winbond websites. Where can I find it so I can upgrade my bios?

Thanks.

Sam

I found this when I googled the model number.

When you run the file it will create a subfolder named 'VPL1020A' in whatever folder you've download the file to. The flasher and .bin file will be there. (When you go to the site a box may open asking about downloading chinese text support. Just cancel that as it's not needed. The page also has downloads for the flasher but as I mentioned, it's already included with the download.)

As always, you shouldn't be attempting an upgrade unless you know you need it as they sometimes go wrong. Other than that I guess you know what you're doing.
