I would use PHLASH17 (PH161700.EXE) and issue the following command ph161700 BIOS.ROM /x /c /s /force
Satellite M30X ATI Graphics Please mod bios to "Dell SLIC 2.1" for use with Windows 7 -Manufacturer: TOSHIBA -Motherboard Model: Satellite M30X ATI Graphics -Bios revision: Bios_ATI_2.0 -Bios Type: Phoenix BIOS Thanks
This they should do, there was a bug at previous RC versions! So it's about the date / time format. I guess your mod refuses to flash, because the flashtool checks for bios sum. You can disable that check. Use latest RC version to mod or better wait for the final release of it.
Will it make any difeference?? Will it make any difference imatrix?. Since the bios flashed ok using the flash tool provided by the manufacturer. What does the /x/c/s/force stand for?. excuse my curiosity i just want to make sure i dont brick the lapi.
RC9 working fine without errors and changing any in system. but result of mod bios was exactly same as before. could not flash it with flashaid. in ini file deleted the item of checksum but not worked. how to disable the checksum? anyhow can wait till final release. thanks to everybody.

you can find out Flashaid 4.2 in the above P8010 original bios link. inside bios_data.rom, flashaid 4.2 and others. meanwhile what i tried please look in the above. thanks.
Andyp When you remove the check mark in the Advanced "Replace existing SLIC table with ID" and enter SLIC TP-6F make bios SLIC 2.1 100%. Please enclose a picture and see if you think so. Thank you!
