    Akcent also tried modifying 1B module with MMTool. But apparently the process did go wrong since I figured out later that the DELL name was not even in his modded BIOS.

    My feeling is that there is a "security" module somewhere (with the NEC name) that needs to be changed at the same as the SLIC module. But which one is this module and where is it located? If we just change the SLIC module and not the security module, then we have a name mismatch and it is not working...

    What do you think?

    That's what I thought... I already dealt with Yen in the past for a hard to mod BIOS in a Sony laptop. For sure he's the man! But I'm not sure he's around right now...

    I just checked the original BIOS with an HEX editor. And I have found the "NEC" string at 2 locations: 0x003d5c9b and 0x003f8f4c. So the NEC string is definitely in the original BIOS.:biggrin:

    And in your var6 (SLIC6) there is a "NEC" string at address 0x00064d79 and address 0x003d5c9b :biggrin:
