HP Compaq DC7600 SLIC 2.1 mod BIOS Hi Needing some help as I have 10 of these PC and was wanting Windows 7 on them. Just wondering (hoping) if anyone has modded the HP Compaq DC 7600 BIOS to SLIC 2.1 I have looked everywhere for this and nothing, but was wondering if new tools have been made to allow this BIOS to be modded to SLIC 2.1 The latest version supports Vista so is SLIC 2.0, but have read this BIOS has no SLIC (then how does it pass vista OEM activation?) Current BIOS Version: 2.04 Rev. A (13 Apr 2007) Operating System(s):Microsoft Windows Vista Business (32-bit) File name:sp35568.exe (2.3 MB) Download from: HP sp35568.exe Thanks for any help, Kal ...
HP Compaq DC7600 SLIC 2.1 mod BIOS Hi LatinMcG Thanks for your quick reply. I am new to BIOS modding, never done it before. I am still unsure if the BIOS can be modded and if it can, how ? I followed the like and serched for "sp35568 ", but a post in it says: "this one is not maddable - it contains no slic" Can you please help with the following: 1. What am I looking for in the link you posted ? 2. Can the BIOS be modded if I use Winphlash on the DC7600 machine to make a backup of the BIOS in a *.rom format ? 3. What tools do I need to add SLIC 2.1 once I have the *.rom file ? 4. How to I add SLIC 2.1 to the *.rom file ? Thanks again, Kal
im not sure myself. all i know is that hpqflash has a strict size check. so best way was to start flashing.. but not actually flash and find the offset in HxD in Ram the hpqflash.exe running. from 2.0 to 2.1 save. then hit ok to flash.. ive never done it but saw a tutorial somewhere. of course someone with more experience might be able to hex the hpqflash and patch it to ignore the strict checks and flashes. the winphlash backup.bin or .rom might not work as its not a standard bios from award/ami/phoenix
Hey everybody! Thanks for your work to fix HP:s stupidity! I have some problems with TTAV134's modded BIOS for the nx7300. (I cannot post links: .info/threads/7681-This-is-no-request-thread!-HP-COMPAQ-bioses-how-to-modify-the-bios/page29?p=111460#post111460) I bought a new network card, in particular BCM94322MC a couple of weeks ago. With the unpatched HP BIOS v.F0E and the new BCM chip inserted I've gotten it to start one single time, of course with the 104 error message. All the other times it wont even boot up at all. If I remove the card it starts up just like normal. If I use USB flash (instructions from the same post linked above) to update to the whitelist removed version I can boot up 3-4 times and it works exeptionally well those 3-4 restarts. After that it goes back to the same state as if I have the unmodified version of BIOS. It just wont boot. If I remove the card I can boot the laptop without hickups and I can then reflash it to stock and then to the modified version and it works 3-4 times. And the procedure replays. I should mention that the motherboard(?) is damaged so that there is no battery function. But I don't think that it can be related to the BIOS problem. So does anyone have any input or experience on this issue?
Anyone still have this: HP Compaq 2710p Notebook PC (version F.15 25-jan-2010) Whitelist and 2.1 slic sp47272_SLIC21_SLPon_no_whitelist.zip Please help, the sendspace link is broken
Recently I've changed bios to HP Compaq nx7300/nx7400 Notebook PC (version F.0E 27-aug-2008) whitelist removed Bought Intel Wifi link 5300 and mounted it. After inserting the battery laptop starts, fan is running on 100%, screen is blank and the only thing I can do is turn it off by holding power button. After that power can't be switched on even if I plug in power supply. If I plug in power supply befor inserting the battery laptop runs normally and wifi card works. The same problem I've got with Intel Wifi Link 5100. If I use BCM 94312MCG (SPS:459263-002), which isn't probably on whitelist for this laptop, problem doesn't occur.

Hi, forum guru. I need your help. I need to enable а slic in bios of my HP Probook 4530s. I downloaded а HP_DMI_TOOLKIT.zip But there are many different utilities in this archive. Which utility i need to use?
So no one have a backup copy lying around? Is there some better place to post questions like this? I was looking in the request sections, but this didn't really seem like the same kind of request i.e. it's a mod that's already been done... Please help/advise?
