Thank you, Serg008. Modded BIOS works perfectly. Flashed it from Q-Flash successfully. Activated Windows 7 OEM. No problems so far. Long live the MDL Guru Serg008!

Hello Serg008, I have tried to flash that exact bios without success. At first I thought it was the included flasher not being x64 compatible so I tried a more recent version and it just threw a different error. The error says.....BIOS update failed! Image verification failed. Required device or platform function is not present. Error code -142. I am trying to flash thru windows 7 64 bit and the laptop came with Vista x32. Could that be the problem? Thanks, budzos
Found a live iso. Laptop is now doa. First one I have lost. Not even sure what happened. Flashed successfully but never came back after reboot. Must of been its time. budzos
Very strange to hear it - it was a very simple mod. Are you sure that this BIOS is suitable for your laptop? If there is any activity when you turn it on, try Phoenix BIOS recovery proc. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/bios-recovery-procedures.870/
Starts with a black screen and then just kind of hangs there. I already have way to much time invested in this but I will try this last thing before I strip it for parts. Thanks for the link Serg008 budzos
