    Hi All,

    Couldn't find a working BIOS for a FUJITSU LIFEBOOK E8110 v1.26, so modded my own a few months back....Everything was working OK SLIC 2.1 CERT Etc All OK..Windows 7 Activated....

    A couple of weeks ago, the M/B Died so I got a replacement from eBay, fitted it OK, same components etc....

    Went to do a BIOS Update, with the Modded One that worked, BIOS Updated OK. No issues to report, But when I run SLIC Dump ToolKit v 3.2 It comes up with a message....

    Dump Error ! (SLIC Table Not found ! )

    I know the Mod is OK as I've been using it successfully on the OLD M/B that failed....

    Anyone got any ideas? Could it be the Age of the M/B?

    All help greatly received

    Thanks

    Grzyb

    The mod is made from a certain manufacturer's bios revision you must start at that point for mod to be successful.

    Hi,

    Thank's for the quick reply....Don't really understand your answer....???

    The Original M/B was from a Fujitsu E8110, I fitted the same Manufacture's E8110 M/B into the Laptop casing purchased from eBay...The BIOS was the same one as worked on the Original M/B, I even tried creating a new one, with the RW Report re-generated on the replacement M/B...no joy....Still the same, the Pheonix Mod Tool says eveything was created successfully but still no luck.....

    Are you saying Flash with Manufacturer's Original BIOS version 1.26
    then flash again with "Modded" BIOS version 1.26???

    OK Flashed with FUJITSU SIEMEN'S Original BIOS v1.26 from Fujitsu Website, Ran RW-Everything, Generated Report & then used Pheonix Mod Tool v1.42, Dynamic Option as SSV2 came up with an Error saying No Room in Module?

    Flashed again with Modified BIOS, Same Error message....Dump Error ! (SLIC Table Not found ! )

    So stumped now as to the cause & fix.....

    I remember that... you modified a HP bios with acer slic first. Then dynamically added HP slic 2.1.
