Hi - Str8: Thanks for the reply and the BIOS Mod (post 4028 / 4030). Before I load it though, I will need to create and test the Crisis disk so I can unbrick my machine should the unthinkable happen - so it might be a day or two before I get to try it - will post after & let you know what happens. Please let me know what you use to uncompress / recompress the BIOS firmware and if you have to rename the ***.fd module to ***.BIN (or some such) before you can decompress it. . If this has been answered before (I couldn't find it for the Insyde based HP ***.fd modules), please just point me in the right direction. . Thanks!!
Appreciate the pointer regarding 'Crisis Reflash" . Please let me know how to use the EzH2O program to find and modify the HEX info within the BIOS. . I do have the EzH2O program, but couldn't find the whitelist module with the device codes, and couldn't find out how to locate the correct spot to patch. I couldn't see any way to actually see the HEX code in EzH2O - it only looked like it wanted to remove or replace entire code module blocks within the BIOS structure. . I don't have WinHEX, but do have EditPad Pro (if either is needed?) . I believe the Insyde BIOS is compressed using the LZMA algorithm - which is why you can't find any specific data within the BIOS using a plain HEX editor (like searching for a text string). This is supported by the inclusion of the LZMAdll.dll among the EzH2O files. I was hoping to find a method to decompress the BIOS file to get a better look at it.
