    Thx alot!
    Works like a charme!
    It takes a couple of minutes and screen for the mod.exe to run and first reboot was more than 5 minutes - now SLIC 2.1 and W7 is activated!

    Best regards

    Peter

    I have SPI-programmer, but package of EEPROM is WSON with soldering pads below housing (difficult to remove). Perhaps i can change it to SOIC with pins.

    EFI-shell is as described setup_var 0x36 0x01 and setup_var 0x39 0x01?

    No.
    I do not know which variables you must change to unlock the BIOS - try the method / utilities from that forum to disable the BIOS rewrite lock

    Where to find the lock/what exactly is locked? ME-firmware? I guess it is only the write-lock?

    My problem: The efi-shell won't start, i prepared a FAT32-stick as described, but nothing happens, only black screen with cursor upper left.

    Hi Everyone, I am looking for a BIOS for an ACER Aspire E1-531 (2.21). I see this has been posted before but the links are now dead. Any chance someone could re-upload?

    Many Thanks!
