    Hi all
    I know it is probably not the correct place to post my question but it seems that you people are certainly the right people to ask this question so here we go..
    I'm currently stuck on a BIOS issue and I'm seeking for any help I ken get

    We are using the "General Software" BIOS. They were purchased by Phoenix.
    In our hardware we used the Intel Atom Z510/Z539 chipset that has support for the IntelĀ® US15W integrated GMA 500 Graphic

    Our main problem is that the system does not recognize the GMA 500 (BIOS does not configure this) and thus we are using a generic VGA driver (Windows XP) that has low performance and does not allow us to change resolutions.

    There was a try to solve this, but the result was that the LCD backlight was constantly working and the entire screen was very white.

    I would very much appreciate any help/direction/recommendation

    Thanks,

    I need to update the marker BIOS on my machine and I have no idea how to boot to DOS mode.

    1. Command Prompt in Accessories?
    2. cmd in serarch box?

    Managed to got it flashed with Dos mode finally

    @qtm, thanks for the marker flash.bat. It works great on my s10 after flashed under Dos mode. However, it doesnt work with Command prompt in Win 7.

    @serg008, thanks for the link. It enable boot from Dos mode.

    yes I know, I'm curious and want to learn from you, thank a lot :)
    AcpiTbls.rw if not used, I would not be able to insert a new module ACPI05.ROM, although I have tick "only insert SLIC module"
