    Hi TTAV sorry for such a late correspondence, I had a lot of work come up and needed to put off on this small side project. The PhoenixTool.ini file did the trick, I just tried it at work and finally no more need for that RW report file, thankfully, that was quite irritating. Also, this gives me more freedom to work on this at work without relying on extra files to bring on my flash stick from home.

    I have a few modded files I want to try to flash, but prior to flashing, I want to make sure I can do a crysis recovery should it not go well.

    I used your previous advice and inserted blank fields to play with compressing to the needed filesize (with code 20) in a Hex editor, I mainly targeted text saying an unauthorized card has been detected, i figured this would be a good spot because hopefully if this works I will no longer see that message anyway.

    I am following the crysis recovery mentioned for the Lenovo x200, I hope that method works for me as well.

    ^^ So ender's method still works?

    I Originally got my T61 hacked using his BIOS obtained through another forum but recently he has been offline and his site did not list a W510 BIOS. Has this mod been tested or am I the first? :biggrin:

    Anyway, thanks for the mod. Let you know if all is good.


    EDIT:

    Worked like a charm. Any experience modifying access connections? I went into AcAdaptersInfo.dll and ACon.dll and changed the entry VID_1199_PID_8504 to 853C. Anything else that needs to be done to allow usage of the hardware switch? Up until now I have had to tape pins 20,22 on my card but was hoping to be able to just insert. WLAN lights work, but it is throwing the hardware switch on boot up and disabling my card.

    Thanks!!!

    I tried to open the file using EditorPro and replace the hardware id of a device that I want to install, but when I go to flash, it gives me an error file corrupted or missing signature.
    there is no way to bypass the check of the bios?

    There is a way but i don't recommend it . I have already flashed using my dump modded bios 2 times with the same result ... I had to send my laptop for service. :)
