    Hello, new user here.

    I wish to add SLIC 2.1 to a G752VM Asus laptop.
    I thought it was an issue with the phoenixtool version, so I tried the procedure with different versions of the tool, but it always fails.

    Am I doing something wrong or is it impossible to add a SLIC 2.1 to this laptop.
    It originally shipped with Windows 10 Home.

    In case any one is able to provide assistance, these are the characteristics of the laptop:

    Manufacturer: ASUS
    Model: G752VM
    CPU: i7-6700HQ
    Chipset: Skylake
    Original OS: Windows 10 Home

    I have tried every combination known to me, and the only one that sort of worked was by using the dynamic method (with or without RW tables, no difference), then I get the message: No complete SLIC table found. Continue?

    I hit Yes, then it tells me that SLIC was successfully added, but when I open the modded file with the phoenixtool, I am not greeted with the usual SLIC 2.1 Marker message, so I do not dare flash because I am sure it will brick my system.

    Do I have any options? Do I need to open the Advanced tab of the phoenixtool and change parameters there? I have no idea what to change there.

    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Hello,

    It worked!

    Is there a guide on the site on how to perform this mod?
    I would really like to learn.

    Up until now I've been using Phoenixtool v2.56 from ages ago, but always flawlessly inserted SLIC tables on bioses I threw at it, until this G752 bios.

    Like I mentioned in my first post, I thoguht the issue was that likely I was using a tool that probably wasn't recognizing a newer bios. I downloaded v2.66 and v2.73 but got the same result.

    If there is a guide on how to go about this, I would really like to learn.
    I own a spi programmer, so in case something goes wrong I can recover the system.

    Thank you again for the help so far.

    One thing I forgot to mention is that when I use the module method I get this message: Insufficient space to manipulate modules.

    When trying NVRAM or DMI it says: NVRAM not found (same for DMI).

    For me it's more the hassle of taking apart the laptop to get to the bios with the programmer, that's why I am generally reluctant to flashing something I know won't work from the start (like opening the bios with phoenixtool and not getting the SLIC Marker popup), but worse case scenario I can recover the system.

    Thank you.

    and where is the results.arj file ?
    A manual mod must be made for this bios from a bios backup .

    I guess it must be uploaded via external means. I just thought I didn't have access to this feature on the site because I am new, sorry. I will look into a hosting service.

    Is this manual mod you mention, something not known to the public? Otherwise, like I mentioned I'd be really interested in attempting it myself (with a guide or link to it) to understand and for the future, should I require to have to perform this mod on other systems. By what I gather this is a type of mod that is individual for every system. That's why I am interested in learning (these types of intricacies fascinate me) unless the procedure is not publicly known, therefore I solemnly understand.

    Thank you again for your response.
