I also noticed when it does the flash BLOCK 8 does not get flashed, it shows programming, verifying for each block except 8 which only shows "Save Block". Maybe that can help.
The bios did get updated, since it was a previous version until the flash. I think the SLIC table was not flashed into it for some reason.
TTAV134, I want to ask you a question about the links i see in the 2nd post of this thread... all the bios there are both with slic 2.1 and whitelisted? or they have only slic 2.1? thats because I need to change the wifi card inside my thinkpad with another model so I want to know if i can change it without any problems (if the bios is whitelisted) by loading the bios on this thread.... my mode is X60. thanks
