Safe to down grade bios?

[moonedyou]

Im sorry if this is the wrong section in advance. I had to downgrade my laptop bios to 3 or 4 different versions before finding the right one that fixed my issue. All the bios updates were successful, so is there any reason to worry if i damaged something? I hear you're only supposed to do it once, but i had to do it multuple times to fix my issue i was having. Thanks

Since you already did the dangerous part and it works, there is nothing to worry about.

It's perfectly safe. It's not recommended to flash the bios unless you're having issues because if the power gets cut, or the usb containing the flash became corrupted you could brick the board. I have updated and downgraded in total well over 30 bios's, only bricked 1 lol. In my case it was a desktop so I just replaced the mainboard and it was all good. I wouldn't do it on a laptop unless I absolutely had to because if you brick that board, you brick the entire machine.

In my case it was absolutely necessary to change the bios and i actually did it through software from the manufacturers website, not through a usb.
