    ADDCCV3 can decompress a bios showing the vbios, but cannot recompress back into a complete bios file. I highly doubt too the compression markers would line up to be able to change the vbios in the bios just by copying a newer bios version and pasting it in.

    In any case, a newer vbios is likely not going to help with your FSB increase with a cpu upgrade causing video hangs on your GL960 chipset. The core render clock changes you wish might still be possible by disassembling the vbios code, noting what code changes are required, then applying those byte changes in the compressed bios using ADDCCV3.

    1- check to boot this USB stick on an other machine to control you have done the job correctly.
    2- verify in you bios setup if USB boot is allowed.

    should work, and that's exactly what you need for hiden SLIC table.

    The file is not available anymore for HP Compaq nc8230/nx8220/nw8240 Notebook PC (version F.18 24-jul-2009)

    For NC8000 and NC6230, if you have both, will be able to give feedback within 48 hours.

    Merci!

    "is problem in FAT32? Need "USB boot creator.exe" only "File system to FAT"? "
    I don't understand, try with a 128MO, 512MO, or 1024KB usb stick if you have, do you follow step by step the "HOW TO" in readme.txt.

    note: for better understanding use google translate for translation from your native language and english

    Hello all

    It is a passion if you have a courage to change bios firmware. Not me :-(

    I try to change 2510p to new and receive " Your bios failed to complete the update. please ensure that you follow the correct procedures and try again. this may require two sequential bios updates to complete the process." I need for this 2510p only to install another WiFi card and if possible lower temperature of CPU. Now I have in iddle 53*C.
    " sp49695_SLIC21_SLPon_NO_WHITELIST " are OK ?

    Another question for HP NB -
    I have old NC-4200 ( 2.26GHz CPU installed on it - work great ) and one Wifi Card TP-Link 300Mbps ( Atheros chipset ). Can I change bios, insert this card in this nb and install it ?
    For this and 2510p and another 4310s have you correct bios to change from default WiFi card to Intel 5300AGN or 6200 ?

    Thanks in advance

    Mike

    PS. Sorry for my poor language. I don`t like HP notebooks for this problems but I have it. :)
