    Hi,

    Not sure if I got the right stuff or not, please tell me where to get it if you need something else.

    Computer is an Acer Aspire E380 with R01-b3 bios. Has Slic 2.0, need slic 2.1

    Is this just an oddball computer? They don't even list this bios on the acer site.

    I had a short look at the dump, it looks strange. Have you made it from W7 or xp? Anyway at the moment I don't have an idea...maybe you could try the dump again from xp.....
    The second mod, didn't flash, telling wrong bios? I guess it's something about the flash procedure. What about to flash the second one after your original?

    Anyway I don't want to brick your Sony before you go on holiday....

    Enjoy your time....you may post here again when you are back....

    Btw: Are you going by Motorrad to somewhere? ;)
