hi. I have a HP DV9000 laptop with a Quanta 30d1 board. Bios is f.34. Already tried the modded ones I found here. The 30CFF34A_SLIC.WPH flashes fine. The 30CFF34B_SLIC.WPH refuses and winphlash64 reports error 1. Tried also flashing from bootable usb stick from dos. Same thing. 30CFF34A_SLIC.WPH flashes fine, 30CFF34B_SLIC.WPH won't flash and it tells me that this bios is the wrong version. Even when I flash version A there is no slic. Then i went into RWeverything and the slic table is empty? Can anyone help? Here is what i get in RWeverything with original unmodded bios and after flashing 30CFF34A_SLIC.WPH. Looks like there is no slic at all.

So I tried SLIC Toolkit. Here the results.

After loading the previously downloaded modde bios it gave me a warning. So I loaded the original whp file from the extracted sp52477.exe which i got from the hp site an the rest was really selfexplaining. Never thought it would be that easy. Was afraid I would brick my replacement board but it worked fine. After flashing from windows and rebooting the anoying M$ warning and the black background are gone! just Checked with RW and looks good to me.
