So, I surmise that the Gigabyte flash op cannot be done via Factory avenues, rather than like some other instances of better luck on the thread. Figures. Reckon I'll give ol' DOS a spin, then (shades of the 8088... ironic that at this point in the tech arc, it still takes an old fashioned monkey wrench to make things work...). However, since it seems I will have to go to summer school to usefully interpret the outputs of RWEverything, I wonder if there might be an Idiot's Guide (call it another monkey wrench) to post-flash SLIC condition in its most essential terms, before I DAZ load in vain.. In any case, I thank you for your invaluable assistance and infinite patience in dealing with those of us whose talents lie in different directions. PS: I presume that the ver. of the efiflash utility that came with the mod BIOS is sufficiently "older" to do the job. PPS: I like your galactic Rorshach Test id pic.

Is there any chance to patch this one? https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...to-modify-the-bios.7681/page-100#post-1451257 HP 550 Can't use HP NBDMIFIT to change SKU (can't enter Advanced menu). I could only enable SLIC 2.0 by running hpset152.exe write SLP ON
This bios can't be modified/flashed (RSA signed bios). Try with older versions of NbDmiFit , e.g. 1.19 ...1.1D (HPBFO054.EXE or HPBFO052.EXE utilities must do it)
