    I not sure that I make mistake by myself(I run in window) or moded bios file is not complete.

    So you already use Insydeflash and failed on flashing?
    Maybe you have to try from DOS using flas**t

    I would also appreciate some tutorial or just a simple guide on how to use InsydeFlash utility. I've just grabbed a moded SLIC 2.1 bios for my HP HDX-16 lappy but I couldn't find any manual related to instructions how to use this InsydeFlash utility in practice. Also, is it safe to use this InsydeFlash tool in Vista x64? I don't want to get my lappy bricked just because of a lack of information on how to properly flash it with a moded bios.

    Thank you for any help!

    I just saved the modded .FD file in the same folder as InsydeFlash and ran the tool as normal.

    I flashed my HP HDX 18 in Vista x86 but I can't think of why it wouldn't work in x64. I also flashed an updated version of the BIOS, F.24A, after installing Win7 x86 and it worked just as well.

    Don;t flash from windows. Flash from DOS using flas**t.exe.

    Sixroy,
    I just flashed my HDX16t with the modded BIOS (many thanks to bgage) and it worked flawlessly. I just clicked the Insyde flash utility that's included and voila, BIOS loaded. After reboot, I verified using RW-Everything that SLIC 2.1 is there. Proof: I'm using my lappy to post this.:)

    BTW, I also flashed from Vista x64. And as I said before, no problems encountered, didn't brick the lappy!:D
