Thank you, that's exactly what I used, I tried it several times, but when I am to the step 14 of the recovery procedure proposed by Danmit, "14 - When the floppy light start to blink, release Fn+B", the floppy light never blink...

I don't know what happen with my laptop but I really sad ATM.

please follow th info in the link i gave, this is information from compal directly.
They explain the way to fix this and the way to get it working again.
Just download the link and read the instructions.

Yeah, as I said, I already tried it, indeed the compal procedure is slightly different, but still no go. I've also tried the procedure described in the IFL90 technical manual, which is again slightly different from the 2 others, but still no go.

Hmmm, sorry but that's the best I can do.
It seems so you must contact the vendor or the shop you bought the notebook from for further support.

Thanks for your help though, maybe someone else will have a suggestion.

I will try to get something working, with the CRISISBIOS info form the compal website.

make sure to follow the steps in the crisisbios with the same bios you tried to install.
try to make sure the USB-FDD is connect to the right side of the notebook.
The file you need to recover the bios, is the bios installed on you machine so not the newer version but the old version.

[RePaRaQu]

which version of the BIOS is or had you running on your machine.

[PurpleSkunk]

I had BIOS 1.10 before, and I tried to flash to BIOS 1.12.

Is 1.10 the BIOS embedded with the CrisisTools .imz image ?

One thing that is strange to me : my USB FD Drive is connected to the right side of the laptop, but when I follow the procedure, it never light up, the led never blink.
