The docking bay for the M17R1 (legacy) laptop was so tight that the docking pin connection eventually was damaged to the point that the solid state drives could no longer be seated.  I went out and purchased a barebones M17R1 and transferred all of the hardware over to the new case.  However, after powering up it appears that the BIOS on the new barebones system was never flashed.  I am assuming that I can flash the BIOS from a CD but do not have one or the procedure for doing it.  Can anyone help me out? I would also like to get a PDF copy of the entire M17R1 service manual if anyone has it.  I can be reached at .
