    Yen,

    Thank you for the excellent information. I have followed along with your guide for Phoenizbios on my Sager 5720 BIOS. I had no trouble until I get to

    -Search for "RSDT" and if present "XSDT" string.
    Overwrite string next to "RSDT" and "XSDT" with your OEM table and OEM table ID you want.
    They are usually found at BIOSCOD1.ROM file. Save changes.

    I am sorry to ask but what is the OEM table and OEM table id? Are they needed for the new BIOS to work?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    There is a known false-positive. Please describe the issue more precisely and give me the link to the tool you mean, please (just to make really sure we talk about the same thing).

    Hi Yen.. I am having trouble using the method 3 of AMI BIOS patching (AMI BIOS with FC Module). I am trying to use ASUS_AMI-FC10 to patch the ASUS bios for ASUS MAXIMUS FOrmula 0907. It gives me the error "Cant find configure lock in module 1b". Please advice on how to go forward. Thanks

    Is it possible to add the certificate to retail dvd ISO-file before installing? So that the certificate doesn't have to be installed afterwards.

    So if I replace the file "\sources\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms" on install DVD with the Asus certificate I can use the OEM-serial right away at install?
