    Try first by making sure Bios is set to default settings and then flash new .. If no joy then reflash old bios and then try new again ..

    Thank you for your quick response.

    It worked, the SLIC table is back again. :)

    Now I see that the SLIC table disappears again if I change BIOS settings after the reflash, and loading default settings after that doesn't seem to help.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Is there anything else I can do? I can't get back the SLIC table anymore, even with reflashing.

    So I understand you correctly the new bios you flashed is Revision 68AFU Ver. F.50 and that is what the machine lists as bios ? and when the operating system opens and you go to "system" does it show "windows activation as "Genuine" ?

    Yes, UEFI. Yeah, maybe it needs a different cert, but it makes me wonder why it worked on the other machine tho (same model, same original BIOS)

    I'll check out the link, thanks.

    Forgot to mention, none of them were using UEFI boot. I made another comment at the end of my last post, just in case you have a comment for that. ;)

    -Did the machine originally come with Windows 7? What COA does it have?
