hmmm decisions decisions... im gonna hunt for retail key for my vista ultimate. if no luck i will re consider this.. it is a risk and a new motheboard is 120 on ebay which at that point would be a waste to re invest in somthing a few years old... also could buy the software at that rate... let me ponder this for a little bit. i thank you guys (busykid, 911medic, & yen) for helping me thus far and for sure let you know if i decide to go through with it! 911medic you did the bios for my old hp desktop back in november and worked great. you guys are awesome!
Check to be sure the bios is welded..Pics and such. If it is replaceable..the cost just went to about 15.00. Otherwise, maybe I will have a better answer for you later..
dangit! just had it all ripped apart yesterday replaced the power jack. didnt even think to have a looksee.
I reuploaded the ACPI tables at Busykid508 request. I don't know why... I'm still on stock BIOS v08. I'm willing to upgrade to V12 with SLIC 2.1 Just trying to get all the info I can to do this without the risk to lose my Laptop... And when I ran SLIC_Dump_ToolKit with my stock BIOS it didn't detect any SLIC. Is this normal?
what switches do i use in phlash16 if i want to phlash my bios back to the original one? i need it to overwrite whatever in there thats the problem keeps saying file version the same no update
