I tried your mod and I think I bricked my board for the SECOND TIME!!!! :fuyou31: Just like last time, the BIOS flashed correctly but the system is now unable to restart!!! Same symptoms as last time. I will try all recovery methods possible... In the meantime, if somebody could study the BIOS file carefully and find a way to mod it correctly for good. I'm getting tired!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah that's right! But I never thought I could be hit twice. I had many BIOS modded here and I modded some myself with no problem whatsoever. And it seemed to me to be a simple AMI BIOS to mod not these new special EFI BIOS... Why is it so hard with this one??????? At least when I'll get a new chip, I'll have 2 spares. And I will now definitely use your advice. This way, I'll have 3 chips with the same BIOS. Unless something goes wrong this time with dessoldering and soldering...
Hi Serg008, That's OK! I know there is a risk. But I would really like to understand why this BIOS is so difficult to mod. Do you have an idea? What methods did you use in your 9 attempts. Maybe it can help to better understand what doesn't work and what's left to try...
Yes with the new BIOS chip (before I tried any new modded BIOS) everything worked perfectly. Just like a new board! The RW and SLIC reports were generated under Windows which is installed on the hard drive.
The main problem is the changing of RSDT/XSDT tables name "NEC" to Dell or any other. No one of known methods: Dynamic, SSv2, SSv1, manual SSv2 (and their variations) not work for this bios. SSv3 method's mod (SLIC7, 8) can't be flashed, manual SSv3 mod (latest mod) - bricked the mobo.
