    Hi: I have a Lenovo X201 notebook. I am not the original owner and I do not know the history, but I think someone messed with the BIOS unsuccessfully trying to overclock it. It is REALLY slow starting and running - 10 seconds to get to the Lenovo splash screen and 30 seconds into the bios. It then hangs randomly for up to 30 seconds at a time navigating the bios. An Intel tool to identify the CPU indicates that the multiplier for the bus speed and CPU speed are set too high. I updated the bios from a CD, but it didn't update all the blocks where I assume the CPU is identified. I downloaded the latest BIOS and used the .fl1 file to make a .WPH file and made a phoenix crisis recovery USB stick. I have tried holding the Fn+B keys at power up (also Fn+R). It sits for quite some time while I hold the keys. When I release the keys, it sits a while and displays "Flash crisis recovery disk Remove and press any key". When I remove it, I can see nothing has been done. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi to all modding specialists!

    A few days ago I bought this notebook:
    Lenovo IdeaPad S400

    Unfortunately does not offer the Bios-File on their website.

    Acc. SLIC-Toolkit v3.2 the following Bios is in use:
    Insyde Bios, 6DCN20WW(V1.08), 07/25/2012, 4608K
    Dump OK! (But SLIC OEM ID or Digital Signature Error!)

    Is there a possibility to add SLIC 2.1 for Windows 7 activation?

    Thank you very much for useful comments in advance!

    Well, I tried everything you suggested, and even tried with -s instead of /s like the readme said to, but nothing worked. It said that WINUPTP.EXE could not be found (even though it was in the folder.) So what I wound up doing was flashing back to the older BIOS, and then flashing straight to your modified BIOS without updating to the most current factory one in between. Critical success, my 5100 card now seems to work fine (after 45 seconds of testing so far.)

    Thank you very much Serg008 for the support, keep rocking and helping people!
