To update the BIOS on your Samsung NP-N130 laptop using a USB stick, you can follow these general steps:

Prepare the USB stick:

Obtain a blank USB flash drive with sufficient storage capacity.

Format the USB stick using the FAT32 file system to ensure compatibility.

Create a folder on the USB stick and name it "BIOS" (without quotes).

Download the BIOS update file:

Visit the official Samsung support website or the website of your laptop's manufacturer.

Locate the BIOS update file specifically designed for your Samsung NP-N130 model.

Download the BIOS update file and save it to your computer.

Extract and copy the BIOS update file:

If the BIOS update file is compressed (e.g., in ZIP format), extract its contents to a folder on your computer.

Locate the actual BIOS update file with the .BIN or .ROM extension.

Copy the BIOS update file to the "BIOS" folder on the USB stick.

Prepare the laptop for BIOS update:

Ensure that your Samsung NP-N130 laptop is connected to a power source or has sufficient battery charge.

Close all running applications and save any open files.

Access the BIOS setup utility:

Restart your laptop and press the appropriate key (e.g., F2, Del, or Esc) repeatedly during the startup process to enter the BIOS setup utility.

The specific key to access the BIOS may vary depending on your laptop model. Refer to the user manual or the Samsung support website for the correct key.

Update the BIOS:

Once inside the BIOS setup utility, navigate to the "Advanced" or "Boot" section (exact location may vary).

Look for an option related to BIOS update or flashing.

Select the option to update the BIOS from a USB drive.

Choose the USB stick as the source for the BIOS update.

Follow the on-screen instructions to initiate the BIOS update process.

Wait for the update to complete. Do not power off or interrupt the process.

Once the update is finished, the laptop may automatically restart.

Note: It is crucial to ensure that you are using the correct BIOS update file for your specific laptop model. Using an incorrect or incompatible BIOS update file can cause irreversible damage to your laptop. Double-check the model number and the provided BIOS update file before proceeding.

If you are unsure or uncomfortable performing the BIOS update yourself, it is recommended to seek assistance from Samsung support or a qualified technician who can guide you through the process or perform the update for you.
