Updating BIOS failed (updating ME problem)
I'm kinda freaking out right now and I'd like some help, please reply as fast as able. my dell computer's service tag is JZG98Y1
I had the thought of checking my pre-built dell computer for updates from the dell website, and it returned 2 updates, one of which was a BIOS update (version before then was A11). Naturally I download this update, close as many programs I don't need running at this time, and afterwards, I run it by simple double clicking and click update. after a while, it fails saying it couldn't check the ME version, closed itself, and when I tried to run it again, it said I had A12 installed, but when using the "wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion" command on an elevated command prompt, it gave me A11
if it was anything else, I'd be mildly panicking, but since this involves the BIOS im full on DEFCON 2, because I don't want to fry my motherboard again (last time it happened was a powersurge, had to get the full board replaced). I heard there's a /forceit tag I can use with this, but what can I do to ensure I don't pear-shape my everything.
