    -Manufacturer: HP G60-249wm
    -Motherboard Model: wistron 303c ver. 08.60
    -Bios revision: F.54 rev. A (360AF54.wph)
    -Bios Type: Phoenix BIOS
    -Bios Download Link: Won't let me add link, not enough posts, but at HP site
    -RW Everything Report Download Link: View attachment PciAll.rar

    So I need this modded to allow the board to recognize more than the QL-62 processor. This same board and chipset is able to run the ZM-85 Turion Ultra x2 processor on other laptops by HP (CQ60 laptops) with the same board and chipset (like CQ 401AU, 402AU, 312, 313, etc.). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    I need the SMBios/DMI updated to allow a processor upgrade to a Turion X2 Ultra ZM-85; or a SMBios pulled from a machine that supports this processor from a machine with the same board (498460-001) from HP. Here is the SMBios readout: View attachment SMBIOS.rar

    If any further info is needed let me know. Also, in the process of trying to correct this, I screwed up the battery management. It reads that there is a battery, but cannot read the amount of charge in it and cannot run off of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    additional info:
    Basically, if someone could mod the SMBIOS Type 4 Processor information from Processor Upgrade: 06h byte value (which is none) to a socket A value (the same as the value currently set for the type of processor in it)
