    Dell servers have different bioses, the length bytes, etc are different from model to model. The compression in the bios is slightly different but recognizable.. I did attempt one mod only to break SLIC.. but at least it didn't brick it.. You can request but it would be very experimental...

    Dell Vostro 1000
    bios v263

    I am not confident about this modded bios after 2 times.

    used : DELL M09 ASL (3rd )
    (mod rsdt as in slic )

    link : deleted ( still slic2.0)


    used : DELL CL09 LTP
    (mod rsdt as in slic, LTP is not changed )

    link : deleted (still slic 2.0)

    If W7 is not activated with both, then Master(s) will do it and l have something to learn. :)

    Thanks for testing.

    yes I know, but on my laptop SLIC Table Not Find, I think because I've bought it without OS. Is it possible to activate it somehow?

    Thank you for help!

    Just to let you all know that I had my motherboard replaced in my Studio 1537 and, with a healthy dose of fear, flashed the new board with the BIOS mod of stanbeck with the Winphlash64 utility in Vista x64.

    I'm happy to report that my laptop is still alive and, even better, that the bios mod is successful: 7 activated!

    Thanks!

    YOU MUST RESET BIOS WITH DSTCD and change service tag or use asset.com, also manufacture mode might work, reference page 1

    Use SLIC DUMP TOOLKIT To print the picture, then i (we) know what strings need to modify. slic is still 2.0 or not
