Sad, but its not working. First, when I put AC (I press end) - fun turn on, also wifi and power led turn on too, power led blinking. I try to press power, try to change usb ports, try to take away hdd and dvd - no effects. I wait about 20 minuts every time, but laptop not reboot, and still use fun and blinking power. Looks like I do something wrong. I checked usb stick - it is formatted 32mb and contain one file:VBW00X64.FD size about 8mb. P.S. Its not dead, after reboot it working, as before. Slic not found P.S.2 I try to use Andy`s tool to check name of file, it tell the same as you give P.S.3 I take old USB 1.1 flash drive with led - trying to use it - After I put AC in(end pressed) it blinking exact time to read bios file, but after that no any other symptoms. Looks like it understand something wrong with file. Any ideas? (And please, can you explain, how you make VBW00X64 file - I want to learn how to do that by myself)
The Dell 600M A17 mod that was posted a long time ago does NOT work. I disassembled the ROM files and I see why. The mod added a SLIC 2.1 and put a pointer to it in the RSDT but the BIOS code copies that RSDT from ROM into ram and then stuffs two table pointers into it, overwriting the pointer to the SLIC. Just for fun I tried manually fixing up the RSDT in memory and it worked but of course that only lasted until reboot. Can someone make a new rom mod for it, please?
