    It seems an expert did that mod before.:)
    I have to figure it out how to proceed. Also I have to send it to andyp.

    I guess I know now how to mod it, but I don't understand how exactly the pubkey at OEMX table works......very interesting...could become a new protection....

    Does the original bios activate Vista (has a full SLIC2.0)? Really? Hmm..where is the marker?

    Yes, thanks a lot. Your bios is very interesting!
    We have got a working mod already. There are instructions included:

    'first, flash the $0A6A000.FL1 in the folder. (This is the version 13)
    after that flash and reboot, flash with this $0A6A000.FL1 (this is the modded version 14)'
    I wonder why he instructed to do so......

    Have you applied the working mod exactly as instructed?
    If no, then would you please tell me what version was your bios before?

    If yes...could you please do one more test for me?
    Please follow again the instructions, but at second flash, please flash again my mod...I need to exclude any issue and need to know the ssv3 mod method doesn't really work.

    Thanks again....if you don't want to flash twice again....it will be OK anyway...;)

    ok so far...

    my sl500 came with bios 1.24 and slic 2.0 inside....
    after i find the 1.24 bios with slic 2.1 in start post i flashed it how it stands in the instructions...
    evereything works fine.........
    then i request a new mod for 1.25 and got your mod....
    the original 1.25 was always flashed by me (you've wrote It's an AMI bios. Update first to the original version.)...
    so i must downgrade to 1.24 to flash your mod....
    but those mod doesn't work:-(
    then i tried to mod the 1.25 by myself with amitool 1.35> the result is the first picture of slic dump tool.....
    then i tested other bios again and again (go back to 1.23), spend a lot of time, because downgrade works only under vista x86 oder xp because of atk100 driver.... upgrade (1.24 to 1.25) under win7 x64 is no prob....
    last flash i downgraded to 1.24 (so no 1.23 flash first, which was written in the instructions)with slic 2.1> win7 activated> then i modded with dynamic mode and flashed the modded 1.25> with die 2.0 slic dump picture....
    so thats the actually situation:)

    Thanks a lot. (I) We have to think about....there are 3 bytes changed at the working mod.
    Which rwe version have you tried?
    Latest 1.4 doesn't work? So you don't have a 32 bit OS installed anymore?


    Cu tomorrow...we need to know about those 3 bytes and if I can change them again, then I try for a new mod.;)
