    PubKey did not change with Var 3 or 4, neither mod had any effect :eek:
    I rebooted between mods ....

    Maybe I need a better version of Winflash or something :confused:

    Yes, I used the correct slic TC-90. In this BIOS the Slic header and marker formed somewhere in the BIOS code (rather than read from the inserted full slic), so I'm trying to find this piece of code and modify it :confused:

    Check your bios ID (6F or 7V) before the mod flashing !

    Modded with Phoenix SLIC Mod 1.95
    Mod method: WList check removed

    Modified Bios:
    Lenovo ThinkPad T500_3.22(6FET92WW)-3.24(7VET94WW) __WList.rar
    http://rghost.net/36532799

    Flash from Windows with Included Flash Utility. (Look "readme" included)
    Flash Original bios, then, after reboot - flash modified one !
    Please post results.

    add.
    For Slic 2.1 use marker tools:
    bios ID TP-6F

    bios ID TP-7V
    T500-TP-7V.zip

    http://www.mediafire.com/?n1uuczo083ogq3z

    SLIC 2.1 is now ACTIVE, but the PubKey, Marker & RSDT need a little working on ...
    I know that modder: noPic (Boerse.bz) has been successful, but also had to use WinHEX. I wasn't able to download their MOD, mostly due to language difficulties?? http://www.boerse.bz/boerse/freischaltung/502604-slic-bios-modding-anleitungen-und-anfragen-87.html#post4946926

    in that case - Slic 2.0 was ACTIVE !
    now I try to turn ON Slic 2.0 (look on SLAC table in report)

    I was finally able to download noPic's (Boerse.bz) bios mod which includes the RW Report, but it still didn't work completely when I tried it. :angry2:

    I find the RSDT keeps changing with these bios mods, like to LENOVOTC-5C or LENOVOTC-70 or 90 or something ??

    When I use the factory bios, I have RSDT LENOVOTC-20 ?? View attachment 13858

    I know they all have to match, but the 2.1 SLIC table has been fine, just can't activate it.

    I hope that this will help you on your mission.

    Trouble with thumbnail image

    Yes, of course I would be happy to upload a new RW Report with the working #10 SLIC 2.1 ...
    http://www.mediafire.com/?0gj4a991b194zm3

    I noticed my RSDT is now LENOVOTC-5J.
    I don't care, but was just wondering why it was altered from the original LENOVOTC-20?


    The wrong image posted or something, the correct image shows the SLIC 2.1 is good standing. I think I had too many attachments with the same name ...
