    4098 - secure capsule
    4096 - bios

    try to flash the mod (bios) via the bios recovery procedure:

    1. Rename the mod to X55U.bin and copy the file to usb flash stick (FAT formatted).
    DO NOT MAKE anything etc. ONLY COPY
    2. Remove battery, adapter (power cord) , mouse etc.
    3. Attach usb flash stick (try with the lower left slot at first)
    4. Hold down <CTRL> + <Home>
    5. Plug In the Ac Power adapter, wait about 3-5 secs
    6. Press the power button
    7. wait 3-5 sec and now release the buttons <CTRL> and <Home>.
    8. The screen of the built-in BIOS flash utility appears and the BIOS will be flashed.
    It took about 5-8 minutes and notebook powered down itself.......

    After the reboot boot to Windows and check Slic with Slictoolkit

    Sorry for that ! :eek:

    Try Fn+Esc (Fn+B, ...) with original (fj8.bin) bios renamed to BIOS.cap (place it to FAT formatted USB stick)

    Yes, try FAT32. (and Fn+F)

    add.
    Before the new mod prepare we must be sure that fpt utility can be used for bios flashing
    (To do this we should make a backup of the BIOS with the FPT utility and flash it back successfully)
