    Try the SSv2 or SSv3 first.
    I would NOT try the SSV or Dynamic unless the other two fail to properly add the SLIC 2.1 info to that BIOS.

    Thanks, I would try SSV3 then, as i was not able to mod it using SSV2.

    Since it had SLIC 2.0 (which you didn't bother to mention) it should have defaulted to Dynamic Method to replace the SLIC 2.0 with 2.1.
    So try the Dynamic method.

    OK, i just tried with the .bin you mention, and i still "see" the 2.0 slic.

    This is the AMITOOL151 Log, for what is worth:

    Any other idea? What i'm doing wrong?

    I don't have to check anything, you're the one modding this BIOS not me.
    I'm just offering some advice.

    Did you Flash from DOS with AFUDOS 4.x ???
    If you're flashing from within Windows the SLIC Info doesn't get properly updated most times on these HP PC's.

    You can also try the SSv3 but use the HPQOEM-CPC.Bin.

    I know you are offering some advice. I never thought, or implied, otherwise. Or did i?

    No, i used AFUWIN 4.x

    I would try AFUDOS then, and SSv3 also, and report back.

    Would have to create a boot CD, as this machine does not includes a disk drive :S

    I just meant to say that it went back to 2.0 (weird), not anything else, and not to imply that you owed me anything. You know, probably misinterpretation related to language barriers ;)

    Anyway, i have AFUDOS, i would check that guide.

    Thanks again.

    I just tried with AFUDOS. Still the same SLIC 2.0 :S.

    Should I try SSV3 then, or something else?

    Definitely, try SSV3 with the CPC Slic.bin.

    I can't see your screen shots, but just install the proper certificate and OEM SLP Key and see if Win 7 reads the SLIC 2.1 info and Activates.
    Otherwise you will have to do A LOT of reading and do a manual mod using MMTool and a Hex editor.

    I just fixed the images. I would try what you tell me to.

    Now, how should i go to install the certicicate and oem spl key?

    Is there a tool, or a manual process?

    (meanwhile i'm searching the forum)
