    T500 BIOS Ver 3.11 MOD REQUEST

    The attached .rw file has a HPQOEM SLIC, but it is the Lenovo 3.11 BIOS.

    Kumeipark - Thank you for your prompt responses. Your efforts are not UNappreciated.

    The reason that I did not test this immediately was that TCALL1975 reported a problem with the attempt he made to use the file. Therefore, I thought I would wait to see if there was any more information forth coming. The .rw file transmission was in response to your original request in the event that it might help to clarify his problem.

    As I look at the thread now I see that that reply seems to have been removed. Perhaps this means the problem has been solved? I will wait a short while to see if TCALL1975 responds further. However, I will NOT forget to give you feedback.

    Thank you again for your efforts. --

    kumeipark, your mod seems OK to me, BUT:

    Only provide the winphlash that comes WITH THE ORIGINAL bios!!!! 1.7.16.0

    Edit the ORIGINAL phlash.ini. Place at the section [UI]
    advanced=1

    Open the mod and edit:
    Click ADVANCED BUTTON - When Advanced Window opens, at flags tick verify block after programming and disable Axx swapping automatic detection. At DMI chose update the bios and not the DMI. Press OK, exit winphlash.
    Pack all together and provide it.
    Providing another winphlash may brick the Notebook!

    DON'T use Swinflash to flash the mod!!!

    Sorry for the confusion guys, I had not followed the instructions at the beginning of the forums....the flash worked ok and did not brick the system. Just need to figure what i do now to get it activated for ultimate - more reading required i think :)
