    So the full SLIC table is already present the marker only 'activates' it. So the slp2.bin included will work just fine ?

    I did try with the phoenix/dell/efi mod tool and did get this as a result: SLIC performed successfully. BIOS file is D:\h9uj01us\{app}\H1ET39WW\$0AH1000_SLIC.FL1 . Would flashing this bios file work ?

    @Tito: Tried the marker tool (steps 5,6 then 8). It said OK 2 times but cannot flash the backup original rom. Mostly secureflash error messages.

    You need to re-flash the original bios, not backup.

    Do you want to try an "Emergency BIOS flash" method ?

    1. Clear the USB key (FAT16 or FAT32)
    2. Rename the backwl.bin as VIUS3.bin (or BIOS.bin)
    3. Put the file to the USB key you cleared in step 1
    4. Plug it in the PC.
    5. Press Fn+R+"power button" to power on the system (it should start flash the BIOS automatically)

    I think the netbook rebooted automatically. (If it doesn't, unplug the AC power cord once the fan has turned off )

    (Try this procedure with (or without) the notebook's battery)

    Please post results
