I made the flash from pure DOS (all as you said). Maybe I need to try other flash utility or use additional flags in this. Please, advice. Somebody had positive experience at use of this utility?
Fantastic! It is very simple way. I didn't try it (used V2.09 and V1.42). I think it's only one mode that I didn't try. Is it safe way the SLIC inserting without RW Table? Thanks you again.
I greatly appreciate the time you took to dig that up for me. a Question though. When it's non- whitelisted, that only pertains to changing the WIFI card right? If it is, that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. I've had nothing but Trouble with this laptop, since I've installed Win7 on it. the Video drivers seem to be locked to HP releases only, and was hoping a modified BIOS might solve that problem. Also, If the file modified is the same filename and BIOS revision as mine, even though its from a different Series/Model of laptop, is it still safe to flash? i apologize for the Newb questions, I have searched for two days for these answers and cant find ANYTHING definite, or for my specific Model, its always a model up or down. Thanks again for your time.
Are you sure that you used latest one from Nvidia driver?? There should be no such protection in bios...
Yeah, i just get either an "hardware not detected" error or a "Your manufacturer requires you to use a driver from there website" error... Perhaps it isnt a bios issue. But with that aside, the bios currently shows VISTA as the installed OS, but Its actually Win 7. I dunno, maybe i'm fighting a losing battle, and dont really need to flash a bios mod? What do you think?
Its just DMI data. Older bioses of HP in Vista era have that parameter to control the SLIC. Newer have the option to set it 7 and/or 8. It really doesn't matter
So is that just Cosmetic info in the BIOS? Not really useful for anything... and thanks for the replies... you've been a huge help.
