    Hello,

    I have a Dell Optiplex 775 with the A04 BIOS (SLIC 2.0). Can I upgrade the BIOS with the A15 BIOS (SLIC 2.1)? The file is: O755-A15-SLIC21.exe (rebuilt Dell flasher) mod and tested by Dexterman. It can be found in this topic: Dell - Phoenix Manual Mod Thread. Sorry, but I can't post links.

    Is the SLIC 2.1 mod you've uploaded to sendspace tested?

    Ok, and is SLIC 2.1 included in the file you've uploaded to sendspace? And how can I install it? Just installing the .exe file? And what can I do if it fails?

    You could still re-burn the original BIOS if the new one isn't working!

    If you don't know that, better you keep your hand's of from that! That's simply 'delicate' stuff which should be done from those who what they're doing, only!

    The SLIC 2.1 is included as usie wrote already, or did you have problems with reading English?!

    I have updated my BIOS to A22, and now I have SLIC 2.1

    @pisthai: No, I don't have problems with reading English, I just read too fast. Maybe my English writing is bad, because I am Dutch.
