    Okay, thanks, then I will try it!! :)

    EDIT:
    I made a mistake, I flashed the new Bios without Slic2.1! I took the wrong file.
    When i now try to reflash the right file, i became a message that the Bios can't be updated because it's the same Version.
    How the flash now the right file?! Maybe i must try it with DOS-Tools?

    Yes, after installing the older one and then the new right one, Slic2.1 is installed!

    Many thanks to 555LE for his help in this! :)

    Hi Community!
    After I got no working solution in the other thread - I would try it here and hope for assistance.

    I need a BIOS for following Hardware:
    Fujitsu Siemens LIFEBOOK S7220
    latest BIOS-Version 1.15 (including new vgabios)
    BIOS-File and RWA-Report: hxxp://ul.to/r2m4js97

    First I tried it by myself:
    phoenixtool185 - dynamic - standard settings: brick
    phoenixtool185 - SSV2 - standard settings: brick
    brick means that I had no BIOS loading (dark screen, no fan) and had to recover

    Serg008 already tried it: hxxp://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/20258-FUJITSU-Lifebook-e-serie-E8420-3.04-bios-update
    brick...
    (E8420 has a similar BIOS with same problem)
    One Problem seems to be that there are !four! (2x 2.0, 2x 2.1) SLIC information already in BIOS file and something (DMI-Data?) selects the already active SLIC 2.0 at start...
    I suggest repacking to ROM-File could be another problem.

    I tried to mod it manually by replacing the 2.0 sections with the ones from 2.1 too using Hex-Editor and Phoenix-Tool (noSLIC-Option). - brick...

    This seems to be a challenge!
    I hope we can work together to find a solution.

    Greetings
    Phiber
