    Flash an older version of the bios before, then the mod again.

    Please link to the mod...

    The tutorial works with every Lenovo bios no matter what size. If you modify a module in a slightly different way (just one byte different) the compressed code will be different....anyway the mod can work.

    Moded bios for Lenovo T60 succefully installed

    Hy everybody!

    Today I installed moded bios by Yen for T60(non widescreen) on my notebook T60 Type 2007-55G.
    Succefully activated my win 7 ultimate using new lenovo slp key.
    Before update with moded bios I use original bios 79uj30us, from lenovo web site, because initialy I have updated my bios with 79uj32us.

    When would be avaible an moded version for 79uj32us (2.25)?!

    Thank you Yen for the wonderfull work!

    RE: Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 BIOS Mod Request

    I was not able to get the marker.exe tool v0.08 to work. When I ran it with the /CLRMARKER switch it came back saying that the marker was already removed and the operation was not completed. When I ran the /SETMARKER switch it told me that the marker already existed and the operation was not completed - I even tried several versions of the marker, same thing. When running the /CHKMARKER switch, it comes back saying the marker does not exist. Using SLIC Dump in Windows shows that I still have SLIC 2.0. I wanted to try the marker.exe tool v0.09 but wasn't able to find it, I guess I'll be sticking with Vista for now.


    @leakviper
    I flashed the laptop with the 10CN43WW revision BIOS from the Chinese site, while it is a slightly newer BIOS it does not contain the 2.1 SLIC - it's still 2.0.
