    Again thanks BDMaster,

    Don't be so modest. :biggrin:
    "Judge by their deeds" - was said in one wise book... (Sorry for my lyrical deviation.)

    I've made all changes as above - SLIC -> SLAC in ACPI module and empty SLIC replaced with ACER's one.
    In Advanced I've switched on all modification control options and No SLIC - to avoid asking for a SLIC module (assumed I'll change ACPI and SLIC directly) as in the Donovan6k Tutorials.

    BIOS was build successfully but when I tried to flash it Phlash16 (/C /V /S /X) returns an error - "Platform Signature Not found in the Interface" and refuse to write. Should I use also the /force switch to avoid this error message?

    It's from my age, BDMaster... :biggrin:

    I've guessed so. The Recovery Mode tried twice - no result. I assume It do something, restart the laptop and change some BIOS settings (e.g. F12 to Disable) - that's all.

    Let see how it will go further :)worthy:)

    Step-by-step follows: ;)

    1. 64_bios-region_9.5.14.1724.bin - 40194304 bytes - extracted from report
    2. Renamed to bios.bin
    3. PMTool 2.58 MOD (Advanced - checked all modifications asking and allowing, and no SLIC too - modified by hand)
    4. Build bios_SLIC.bin renamed to bios.bin and
    5. Moved to \modified folder of MOD Flash FPT 9.5.14.1724
    6. Folder \modified - copied to FAT32 DOS bootable 2GB USB flash stick
    7. Boot from the USB, ...\modified\Flash.bat
    8. ERROR with it's internal first step but the second one worked perfectly! Success.
    9. Restart
    10. Win7 - FYB ;)
    All other steps till the rest - BEER!!! (sex & R'n'R)!

    P.S. Do not hope, BDMaster, be sure! It worked!!!
    Thank You!

    P.P.S. Hope as the path is now clear, the other mods should go the same way. :biggrin:

    P.P.P.S. Seems very easy when You know what to do...

    Many Thanks to You and to ALL other Gurus and guys sharing knowledge!

    Hi AndyP, is 2.59 available to try?
    I'm having some issues with 2.58 where if I replace 3 roms I'm getting an "Error 5" message:
    View attachment 32321
    These are just jpg's which are smaller than the originals.
    This has worked for me in the past...

    Hi. I have a lenovo m55 9632 with phoenix bios without slic.
    I tried to MOD the bios and insert the slic 2.1, with the 2.58 phoenix tool without any problems but after I flash the bios the software SLIC TOOL 3.2 tells me that the pubkey doesn't match and then I can't activate Windows 7.
    Thanks for any help

    Hey Andy!
    The hash file of the first page belongs to the previous version (2.58).
    Please change it!
    Thank you.

    Hi

    Thanks
    Renamed to 86EE84E1-3375-41A1-AFBA-847BD29663AA_2399.ROM and replaced in DUMP
    I get a resize error (handled) but no error 9.
    Try unticking Preserve Module Size option in Advanced and let me know if that works for you.

    It worked for me today. Not sure why. Preserve Module Size is unticked by default.
    The only things I've ticked are "Allow user to modify other modules" and "No Slic".
    Maybe my system needed a reboot...

    Thanks AndyP, sorry to have wasted your time on this...
