    So no one with a TP-7L marker has done a bios mod or changed their marker to a different one?

    Looked around a bit, couldn't really find any info on why to mod the BIOS...could anyone shed some light on that? Overclocking? Enabling extra options?

    Also, the 2nd post states that there is a modded BIOS for the G530 (The type I have), but for the MT 4666, but I have the G530 4666-35U. Is there a difference?

    I've decided to test this out and will gladly report my results. I'm just having trouble making sure I am making my Recovery Disk correctly.

    I'll keep you posted.

    Need some help please.

    I want to use a modded BIOS for my Thinkpad - T60 (8741W83).

    At the moment i have BIOS VERSION 1.17 (7IET36WW) wit SLIC 2.0 (BIOS DATE 2009-08-27).

    I need one with SLIC 2.1.

    Which one i have to use?

    I found one for the T60 in the start post - but there is not written which BIOS-Version and for which models they are.

    Thanks for help

    Me again ...

    I read the Thread again and i am not sure what to do now. Would be very happy to get some help.

    What i have:
    Thinkpad T60 8741W83
    BIOS: 1.17 (7IET36WW) DATE: 2009-08-27
    Phoenix BIOS /ACPI 2.0
    SLIC 2.0 by manufacturer
    Windows 7 ultimate

    What i need:
    SLIC 2.1

    I read, that it is the safer method to update the marker only - but i am confused how to do it because i didn't find a understandable explanation via the links in this Thread.

    How can i update just the marker to geht SLIC 2.1?

    Thank you very much for help

    Well I believe that it should work for you as well since they both use the same bios. I'd rather you get confirmation from Yen or another experienced person since I just started looking into it this past week and I havent even tried a bios mod yet because I'm being very precautious.

    Good luck and hope all goes well if you decide to do it from here on out.

    Yes, then you need the same like me i think - same mission.

    We have to wait untill we get an answere of Yen - he is the expert.

    I hope we will get it to work.
