you posted in proper location. I think the 6269 (Netvista A20) used an OEM Gigabyte board GA-6WMMC7.
here is the 2002 IBM archive page listing BIOS: http://web.archive.org/web/20021002025607/htt … pe=&subtype=Cat
look at the file names and find them here: http://ps-2.kev009.com/pccbbs/netvista/
or here: https://ftp.zx.net.nz/pub/archive/ps-2.kev009 … 78.html?C=S&O=A
Aptiva and Netvista (and Thinkcentre) shared some boards and bios but make sure you get the one for Netvista....
the ptjt20a.exe or pt1z20usa.exe is the newest at 2001/06/18 I could find.....

Before flashing: which version BIOS do you have ??

Here is a direct screen shot from the computers bios i believe, sorry for the late reply, wound up spending several hours cleaning out one of my servers. I hope is shows the picture correctly

That would be PT16a BIOS, or ptjt16a.exe or pt1z16usa.exe by IBM bios update names AFAIK....
so the ptjt20a.exe should be a good update for you. With IBM you are always at their mercy if a flash upgrade works though. Have NetVista 8307 and found that out 😒
But is it possible your battery is failing ? Had lots issues with batteries and my NetVista...

When i did the restoration, i replaced the cr2032 with a new one, as well as replaced the actual coin cell holder itself (old was was starting to corrode for some reason) I have also had issues with the board turning on sometimes with it giving a really weird bios beep error that is not recorded anywhere, though it has been a while since tht happened, if the update you reccomended does brick it, i can always replace the chip that holds the bios.

Hello, i am not sure if this will ping the person that helped me solve the Bios Issue, i just wanted to let you know that it worked, i am no longer getting the CPU Micro Code error, and the board is back to being fully stable. I just wanted to say thank you for the help.

What cpu are you using btw?

I am using the Intel SL46T Celeron 566MHz, which is the CPU that came with the machine when i got it, before i did the restoration of the machine recently, back when i got it, i though i was a big shot and knew better then other people, so did a lot of janky stuff to it, it is now as close to its orignal self as i can get it bar me figuring out the paint code for the paint IBM uses on the machine.
