Hi, i've registered to the forum after seeing your post about A12 bios mod request for Inspiron 3721. Since i got the i5 6GB ram version, have you achieved to mod the A12 bios version? Fact is I need to pump video embedded ram from actual (awful) 32mb to 1 GB (at least), but in standard bios there isn't any chance to change video card memory (assigned) value, can you help me please? Also, i've installed A09 bios modded following previous bios request for Inspiron 3721 (strangely i had to flash with "flash2.bat" and not the standard flash.bat through usb bootable; after this mod i still cannot see in bios any change (for video memory setting or anything else from stock bios version), do you know in which bios section i have to look for video settings? Thanks very much for help, i'm rather hopeless with this f..ing bios, shame because the pc hw itself is rather good, wainting for your reply !!
@uepp23 You need to use flash2.bat to bypass the protected registers. It only enables SLIC 2.1 for offline activation, nothing else.
I did flash2.bat, i fact that was forced since i got error protection with "standard" flash.bat comman. Do you know if someone can "update" current modded bios (A09 or, better, latest A12 Dell Inspiron 3721 bios), or there are any Window 8.1 program/utility to change video memory value then? i used to think that modded bios could help, otherwise i'm pretty lost with anything (32MB video card ..... like 15 years old Geforce 256 ) PLEASE, help me
thanks for the reply BDMaster ive not flashed that version incase it causes issues as I don't have the dedicated graphics card would it even implement them options anyway for a GPU that isn't there ???
hi BDMaster is there any risk me flashing this modded bios ??? as I don't want to brick the laptop as its expensive to get a new board for this laptop thanks jason
hi again BDMaster I flashed the bios and seems fine it did open a few options different in the bios so thanks for that the only thing now is I think its made it all run a little slower somehow ?? either that or something didn't load when windows booted up which could be the case so thanks again
I don't know this laptop very well and ever didn't use it, so can say that new bios and selecting more options can slow a little bit the CPU. So I don't care about it as every time we want get some more even we have to pay more ! As I wrote before the last Rajko version 1.30 included all modules video too and UEFI, but if You don't want UEFI it's better this one (mine) and as now You're shure it's working ! With regards
very true I do thank you for this its made a few other options pop up that wasn't there before and I did another restart and now performance is back to where it was originally thanks again jason
