How do you check if BIOS is working correctly?
I had to replace my motherboard on my Studio XPS 1645 laptop. After the replacement, I installed BIOS A13 to update the BIOS. But I got an error ("BIOS Update Failed. Image Verification failed. Error code -200")
But I shut down the computer and booted it back up (after several times), the computer booted up, I verified that I have BIOS A13 and I am able to get to the BIOS screen.
But how do I know that the BIOS was correctly installed? Is there something I can do to make sure it works? Or is a working computer enough verification?

Did you replace with another 1645 board -- or a similar one from a 1647? The boards do swap -- and take different BIOSes.

I replaced it with the same board Y507R.
I tried to reflash the bios but it won't let me do so because it says I already have one. I tried going to a lower one (from A13 to A09) but it won't let me go down.
Any suggestions?
