Ah. Well I'd like to think I am a tiny bit more than a newb, but I have yet to try a direct mod/disassembly of a bios. I could try it on some of my own stuff sometime, but I stick to the tools for modding other's bios. Don't want my in-experience to brick someone's board.
The HP mod i got done the other day wouldn't allow my battery to charge which i felt was a little odd, so i reflashed with the original bios, battery charged, flashed back with the modded bios from dos this time rather than winphlash, battery charged, very odd. Perhaps winphlash isn't the best idea to use for HP people. Also, don't forget my toshiba request back on page 70 if possible! thanks!
