D620_A10_SLIC.EXE (rebuilt Dell flash utility) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tested out today on a Dell Lat D620... No Success. I flashed the bios with this version and installed Win 7 Ultimate from disk downloaded from digitalriver as posted here in another thread. I also (to hedge my bets) inserted the OEM Edition 2.4.2.folder from sam3971 into the source directory prior to buliding my ISO and burning to disk. The Dell SLP and Key would not load so sams loader defulted the the "Acer" Cert and key. (as it should). Still Stuck with 30 days to activate... Bla Bla Bla So My question is this. Because the x86 download from DR. is "retail" copy of the media and I am trying to use "oem SLPs" is this the prob? Or am i tottally missing the boat here? My first born child and half of my kingdome for the one who can get the slic 2.1 to work on the dell 620
Make sure you are using asset.com version 2.09. 2.09 is the only version that supports relatively new Dell desktops
Dell D620 Just flashed my Bios and Slic 2.1 here =) Used the Windows Mod and flashed from XP.... Thanks Guys!!!!!!
Hello.I have DELL 1737.I updated to BIOS A7 (must have included slic 2.1) under Dell Windows Vista X64.Now I have Windows 7 x64 and It must be activate, but it isn't. Something more seems like my BIOS don't have slic at all. My Studio is N series - it means no OS and no SLIC in older BIOS when I received it. When I updated to BIOS A7 (it automaticly must add slic 2.1 to my system), but It don't. What is wrong here?
I think what he is saying is your bios is what is called DELL Phoenix Bios and if it was made before Vista and does not contain slic 2.0, it cannot be modified....sorry but that is the limitations of a Dell Phoenix Bios.
for Dell Phoenix bios, we can only mod for SLIC 2.1 if the bios already contains SLIC 2.0, otherwise not possible at this stage.
Thanks so much for explaining. Honestly you guys are the BIOS gods and I ask to learn. I was reading that a modification on early bioses was to modify the ISA location to add the slic information (if it existed). I guess that type of modification here is out too? Like I said, I can live if I don't get this. I just have modified a number of bioses with mydigitallife's help, and this is the first that I've come to that dropped the ankor. Perhaps your explanation above addresses my question, and perhaps the link is that the post that I read doesn't apply to Dell Phoenix bioses. ? Thanks! I don't mean to waste your time.
