    I was able to open your bios.
    Anyway I need more information:

    Start Everest as you did at first post. Click on RSDT and post me the same screenshot as you did at SLIX before.

    Same at XSDT and post screenshot.

    I need to know both OEMID and OEM tableID of RSDT and XSDT. I need to know if they are LENOVO and CB-01 or if they are different to SLIX.

    Another question: Is there anywhere a link to original bios?

    I think after you've provided to me the information I can do a mod, but to modify a downloaded bios update would be the better alternative.

    Thanks again.

    Edit: I've found now what I wanted to know. I don't need the Everest report anymore. I'm trying now for a mod. Anyway if you find a link to a bios it would be great......we never tried a biosmod of a saved bios at LENOVO so far...........

    I did a mod. Please have a look at your CD first that came with your Notebook or at internet if you find your bios somewhere.

    I did a mod already the Lenovo way (TP-79). It was very difficult to make, SLIX lock, OEM ID lock, additional OEM tableID lock and fragmented BIOSCOD1.ROM module... :eek::D;)

    If you want to try the mod I'll upload it, but as I've said I never tried a LENOVO mod made of a backup bios before........

    Since I don't know exactly if winphlash backuped the bios correctly, please try this additionally to have a look again:

    Install and open hwdirect, go to memory dump. Enter FFE00000 and size 200000 , press dump.
    Right click into window, select all, right click again, copy. Paste as new file into winhex. (Open winhex and press Shift + insert key) Make sure ASCII-hex is selected.
    Save file and upload, please!

    I did a mod already, but I want to have a look at the next backup to make sure if it's right.

    Thanks again.

    When creating the boot Floppy/USB, select from Folder Options to view the hiden and system files and delete or rename the file config.sys if present.

    This should resolve the issue with EMM386

    I made bootable usb Ok but In Dos I play the command: Phlash16 biosmod1.rom/x/s/c as you guide but It displayed: Unable to open - BIOSMOD1.ROM/X/S/C. I don't know why? I think this bios not compatable with my Laptop. Can you think again? Thank Yen so much!

    The bios must be compatible to your Notebook, because it was backuped from it. ;)

    You need spaces after .rom, after switches, too

    Phlash16 biosmod1.rom/x/s/c isn't correct

    Phlash16 biosmod1.rom /x /s /c is correct!
