    dvdmkr, have you tried to place D520_A08.hdr on a diskette and to power on the system with this diskette inserted?
    Is there any floppy activity when powering on?

    Have you filks tried flashing from Dos instead of Windows for the 1537, 1737 models? Perhaps that is why the SLIC 2.0 is persistant? Maybe try phlash16 instead of winflash?

    I see. I did take a look into the bios binaries using PBE, as what you guys have found, I can see the pkey and marker in MOD_4A00.ROM and HOLE09.ROM. Somehow I cant find the header "SLICv.......". Any clue of this?

    Because He did not fix Creator Table ID

    Change the Creator Table ID : LTP ----> ASL
    Don't need to add ACPI05.COM

    hi there, just want to ask...
    1) did you search on the ROM, or searched on the BIOSCOD2.ROM under PBE/TEMP

    2) there is only 1 "LTP" if you search in the modded ROM, but many "LTP" in BIOSCOD2.ROM. Do you change all of them or ???

    3) If don't add ACPI05.ROM (of course, change ROM.SCR that entry back), do we still keep those changes in HOLE9.ROM?

    Hopefully we can workout a perfect mod for 1537....

    Yes, "LTP" to "ASL" in BIOSCOD02.ROM. I used B10K

    Use HxD Editor , search a string "LTP",
    search "SLIC", Then look up and down to find some strings match with strings that i have changed in HOLE9.

    Better we need to AcpiTable from RWEverything. better than guess what where strings should change to new strings

    Ok... I have the following BINs... and I used M09, just because 1537 is showing M09 before I mod... I start to doubt that is there any relationship between the file names... I mean if you look at LTP, it has CL09 version SLIC2.1, while for ASL, it has M09 version of 2.1... and interestingly, these SLIC 2.1 table are different!!!!!!(see my attached tables) BUT all of them start with 53 20 01 00 02 00 00 00.......... is there any chance that we used wrong "SLIC 2.1 table" for 1537 ? so that the new SLIC did not overwrite old LTP one??

    In this case

    Dell[DELL-CL09-LTP]2.1.BIN = 3BA13265 | 2.0 CERT

    Only Change the M09 ---> CL09 (BIOSCODE )
