@stanbeck: Please refer to the picture of the SLIC 2.1 table dumped. You can see there is a ' before ASL... The whole string should be reflected in the SLIC table that we modded as well (I think we are to reflect the complete SLIC table info in the modded BIOS) Besides, I am not too sure about the first difference that you have mentioned. Can please you specify? Thanks!!!
Sometimes you do have to do that. yes, try downgrading to a previous version then update bios to the one you want..
Great!!!! Now that explains everything! Thank you for your wonderful mod. This is a perfect version now..... Just being picky.. do you think it will work if we change the SLIC table file 'ASL into ASL , rather than updating ASL into 'ASL in BIOSCOD02.ROM ?? Let us ask shakeyplace to update your final version on the first page... currently, it is the ROM with extra ASL.exe file in side....
I dont think so, as the ' is part of the Creator Table ID... You may test it in your build This is the final build (Shakey, can you please update this): Link removed - bad bios
E521 Bios Just to let you know that I tested this "shakeyplace bios" on my E521 and it's working 100% I used Awdflash.exe for dos on usb.

Dimension 9200 ver. 2.5.3 worked so good for me. Was very safe the upgrade process. Now SLIC 2.1 on my 2007 9200 Dell Dimension. Thanks guys for this.
I was not able to flash back to an earlier version of the Dell bios either. So I tried tinbin's process within Windows (no dos boot) and it worked! I was able to flash the modded 530_1018 over my existing 530_1018 bios. install bios via dos prompt ECT --> winflash.exe 713D1P53.BIN Checked the SLIC with RW-Everything and it appears to be 2.1. Thanks!
This may have already been covered in this thread, but to anyone wondering: The Dell Mini 10 (Inspirion 1010) already has SLIC 2.1 in its bios. I spent an hour or so messing around trying to mod the bios only to find this out! All I had to do was manually insert the Dell cert and was able to successfully activate.
