Intel2AMI can't extract an AMI Bios so it is Not really an AMi bios. It is an Intel Bios that I can't mod. Look for a Thread where people are working on Intel Bios Mods.
i cant find any thread with intel thing going on :S are they not modable? the intel bios. the version i told u abt its realeased on 8th feb 2010 :S
I've tried using this method on my MSI-7255 board and not getting very far. When I run the autoexec.bat and I get a message saying "slic.30g please wait!" that doesn't go away. Also, my BIOS looks like an Award but it says it's an AMI. Any reason for this? Any idea's on what's going on?
Hi NoJuan999, honeslty I'm reluctant doing that. Is it for sure a reversible approach? I mean, my netbook has specific UUID, S/N, PCID. If I use the code of another (similar) product, will I be able to reverse the things, if something shouldn't work as expected? If you think that the test is safe, I'll try to flash with the other modded BIOS extrapolated from the CQ10-120CA. Thank you. Mirko. I did also this attempt. Booted from USB, afudos hpslic.rom /P /C The slic table isn't there... the SLIC Dump ToolKit says "Dump Error ! (SLIC Table Not Find). Should I try the afudos bios.rom /P /B /N /C ? It seems to me that the boot block should be updated by means of the Original BIOS, this is the standard approach. Let me know how I could investigate to discover the reason for which the BIOS doesn't load the table. Thank you in advance. Mirko.
On a laptop I can't say for sure, I have very little experience with laptops and have never needed to do any deep research on them. On a desktop I would say with 100% confidence that since they come from the same exact Bios Download it wouldn't matter. Any info that is in the Bios file before it was flashed is what is written to the System Bios EEPROM. You should do some research and check where that info (UUID, S/N, PCID) is stored on your Laptop. I would guess it is on a dedicated IC or on the HDD somewhere. You could do a comparison of the two unmodified Bios files and also of the two modified Bios files and see if they are the same.
I have tried with the mod derived from the cq10-102ca and the UUID, S/N, PCID were mantained. After I tried also to flash completely the BIOS (via AFUWIN) and using the mod you prepared for me (which is identical to the one I had derived with the AMI tool) . The result was a missing serial number... I was already preocuped... I did again a total flash via AFUWIN using the original saved image, and everything was back working as expected. But there are no traces of the SLIC table when I check for it with utilities. The only way to see the SLIC... is through emulation (DAZ loader). I don't think that the UUID, S/N or PCID are stored on the HDD. They are simply stored in some area of the EEPROM. By the way this is the first time that I find difficulties with the BIOS mod approach (except in server HP blade situation, where the adoption of an emulated SLIC is often unavoidable). I'll try to find the differences in the BIOS and to locate the S/N position, together with the other parameters. Thank you for the suggestion. Mirko.
