Do you want to get to the LG Gram BIOS? Read this article first before going to access it or even changing it.
Is it difficult and safe to go to the BIOS?
These days, it’s actually quite safe and easy to update the BIOS of your laptop, including your LG Gram, whatever the model it is.
In the past, it was pretty risky to go into it because you can end up sending your premium device back to the manufacturer when things go wrong. Things like a broken disk all of sudden, corrupted files, or power failure can interrupt the updating process.
Is it necessary to access BIOS in LG Gram?
It depends on many things. First off, are you comfortable enough doing it? If you are not, we recommend you not to. It’s best to contact manufacturer support first in case you are experiencing some problems with your laptop.
Second, generally with a laptop, when it is not a custom build, then there is no need to mess up your PC’s firmware settings. Unless you have some problems with your device that it is really for you to access it.
Third, there is a notification from LG that you need to update your computer’s firmware.
Updating your BIOS (also in LG Gram or in another laptop) improperly can result in a damaged device and costly shipping to send it to your manufacturer.
If you don’t have any problems, it is unnecessary to access it. Especially if you are living in a place where power failure often happens, don’t mess up with it.
