    Does the SLIC 2.1 data come with the tool? Where should I find that, if not? I am trying to modify an acer aspire one ZG5 netbook , AOA150 model. Apparently it's more complicated than most. Where should I start? I tried searching but found a thread with hundreds of pages and trying to search the thread didn't seem to work.

    Hi, all! It seems that this feature raises an error on my machine. I get a message "Error 5 - Error while performing a requested operation with the clipboard" just right after loading bios file.
    phoenixtool 2.50 , win 7 x64 with december 2013 updates, .NET Framework 4.5.1 (4.5.50938).
    I have also installed VisualStudio 2013 with most packages, including .NET Framework 4.5.1 SDK. Could there be a conflict somewhere? phoenixtool 1.59 loads bios without error.
    Thanks

    Don't use Module method; use New Module method without any RW report.

    ASUS added a slic into the latest ROM for my board: Complete SLIC (2.0) (A M I OEMSLIC ) (x1)
    I's not replaced by your tool and as I had a static SLIC in NVRAM now I have two SLICs in BIOS.
    An Option to remove all SLIC occurencies would be fantastic.

    No no... just create the report as it is.

    FYI, this dummy SLIC is replaced if you choose Dynamic method and Pubkey+Marker are inserted along with with to construct a full SLIC if you choose New Module method.

    Strange!! The report doesn't contain any SLIC table :g:

    Yah, I have checked the New Module method. It is pretty much normal to get the output as the actual SLIC is built using the user supplied Pubkey & Marker along with the dummy SLIC table which comes from MSOA or DummyMSOA module.
