Hi, I have a Dell Precision M6300 Notebook with Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 Processor. I can't fully use the potential of the cpu by default. At the Moment I use Throttle Stop to use it at 3.4 GHz. I know that other Models like XPS-M1730 have an Option in BIOS to set Multiplicator. I have an XPS-M1710 which would have the same Option in BIOS with a Core 2 Duo 7600G CPU and I will get an Precision M90 shortly that again does not offer this Option. Could someone please help me with a modification to make this Option available in my M6300 BIOS. By the way, I used AndyPs SLIC Tool to have SLIC 2.1 in BIOS A13. I tried to use A14 which would be the last Version but the SLIC Toolkit modified the file and when I wanted to apply it, it told me that the file would be corupt. Maybe Yen or someone else, can You help me, please? Can anybody help me please? Yours Sincerely, Jelges
Hi I'm new in forum I have problem i must change in Dell Latitude D630 bios system info from "Latitude D630" to my own name xxxxxxx Can you help me ?? Regards, Simon
Funnily enough I have been trying for the last two days to change the string in my D620. I also wish to change the splash screen. I suspect splash screen will be easy, but I really need to change the reported make/model name first. I require the bios to report a different name when queried by the os. Here is what I have found out: It looks like windows queries via wmi. Any attempts to set values via wmi won't work as the bios is read only as far as wmi is concerned. I believe wmi queries the dmi info in the bios. If I download the dell bios d620_a10.exe, I can add the following switches to extract the relevant files -writehdrfile or -writeromfile If I try to hex edit the strings found then flash using winphlash, winphlash moans about checksum (I don't know how to generate crc). However if I try to use winphlash to flash an untouched file I also get errors. Even if I backup bios using winphlash and try to restore this backup it still doesn't work. I've also realised I can change dmi info via winphlash in theory, but at it doesn't like my flash files, this doesn't work. The closest I've got is using winphlash 1.6.5.6 rather than 1.7.16.0, I can almost restore the backup flash but then it complains error 144 the bios is not flashable. I have also found Apokrif's tools and split the bios file but I have no idea what to do from there, and if that is even relevant. I also have noted, prior to attempting to modify the bios, I thought it would be good practise to rehearse the recovery routine. If I unplug batt/power and hold power button for 30 secs then release, hold end button and plug power, then press power button, I don't get a red power led and it doesn't change the boot up routine. However if I look at the led - it only has two solder connections. The only led with more is the battery led with 4 connections so I do not believe it is even possible for my power led to light up red. I would like to learn how to do this myself but I don't even know where to begin to start - any help would be very gratefully appreciated.
Well, I face some problems while re-modding the bios for XPS/Dimension 630i. I have copied offset 28670h-11866Fh and save to a new file. CBROM output is as follows: Code: D:\Softwares\BIOS Modding & DMI Editing\awardtool153>cbrom32 bios.bin /d CBROM32 V1.15 [Oct 3 2007 Release] (C)ASUSTeK Computer Inc. 2007 ******** bios.bin BIOS component ******** No. Item-Name Original-Size Compressed-Size Original-File-Name =============================================================================== 0.
