Try first to edit the DMI entry by yourself: (it's a easy and fast way for SLP1.0 at Award bios) Use DmiScope: Click unsorted at the bottom left, choose base board information---> data fields. Insert at serial number (was not set) the 'AcerSystem' string and write DMI entry. Check if it survives a reboot. Try to activate XP. If it isn't working, please upload your oembios.ca_ file from your xp CD. Please report Yen
Hi, sorry to hear that! Please tell me which one exactly works! I need to know that to see what could be wrong. Bricked, you mean totally unusable? Are you able to recover the bios? This is important to know to me, cause two of your bioses got minit modules, which caused to brick earlier at SLIC mods as well. It seems that modbin cannot handle bioses with minit modules. I assume it was the AMI bios that worked, right? Yen
Hi Mr. Yen,You have a Crystal Ball today. The AMI made it thru without any problems and activated.One AWD Bios board is on its way back to NewEgg as we speak.The other, is half bricked I'm still playing with it, ASUSs fool proof Bios are not 100% for this "FOOL" Thanks again for all the great work you are doing
Thanks for that information. The bios of perbe is much older than your Award bios. And he has the possibility to reprogram the bios chip. He could test many trials cause it doesn't matter if it bricks or not. The knowledge I have obtained I used to make your mod. But unfortunately your bios is very new and has got a minit module which IMO caused together with using modbin to brick. I'm sorry but this can happen sometimes. I didn't know that before! There is a new modbin out but no one of them want to share this, because it's no freeware. Yen
