Also install the Asus cert & make sure you used a slp product key. If you did those things then we'll need to you to check Everest under Motherboard-ACPI for SLIC, and copy SLIC data to a file to check.
FieldValue ACPI Table Properties ACPI SignatureSLIC Table DescriptionSoftware Licensing Description Table Memory AddressBFF90440h Table Length374 bytes OEM ID_ASUS_ OEM Table IDNotebook OEM Revision20090209h Creator IDMSFT Creator Revision00000097h OK so still the same, so this is what Everest has under ACPI-SLIC, seems odd as its a desktop Im on not a notebook but guess something changed somewhere just not the lock on the BIOS, hope this can help
We can double-check the SLIC in RAM if you do this: Run HWDirect Double click Memory Dump Enter: Physical Address: BFF90440 Size: 176 Click Dump Right click in box and click Select All Right click again and click Copy Run Winhex Click Edit -> Clipboard Data -> Paste Into New File Click Ascii Hex Click File -> Save Type a name like "slic.bin" Upload the file and post the link If the SLIC matches Asus SLIC then it isn't the bios, but something about your Windows installation. If there is a problem with the SLIC in RAM we can try a different kind of mod.
Also, Sony and one of their forum engineers confirmed that the BIOS is custom built and locked and they wont unlock it, which personally I think i ridiculous LOL
So activation aside, is there any way I can unlock the capabilities of the BIOS as half the content is locked out and no access to advanced chipset features and so on, which would need access to for memory upgrades installing components, do you have any idea about this????
