    AFAIK, it is used to enable the SLIC controller which is by default hidden by MSI. @Serg008 and others have found a way to manually dumping the NVRAM variables, modify it and flash it back so that a full mod isn't necessary if you fill up the marker in romholes.

    OK, I'm at a loss here...I used the tool to insert SLIC 2.1 into an Optiplex 755 A22 BIOS. I followed the README, and I don't know where to go from here. The tool didn't create an executable, but there are bios.gz, 02_3.ROM, 02_3_SLIC.ROM, O755-A22.hdr, and O755-A22_SLIC.hdr files. The tool says a O755-A22_SLIC.exe is there, but it's not in the file window, only the original EXE.
    I tried O755-A22.EXE -readgzfile bios.gz from the CLI, but I got an "Invalid Command Line" window.

    So, where do I go from here? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi all,

    I'm new to the forum. I have one question.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L675-119.
    I've downloaded the BIOS from Toshiba website.
    Extracted files are:
    • bios.ROM
    • BiosCheck.ini
    • ec.rom
    • Setup.exe
    When I load the bios.ROM file on Andy's Tool I receive the following message:


    After extracting I get the following information:


    I don't know what to name the .ROM file.
    Where can I find that bit of information?

    Thanks in advance :)

    the file i used is called P11-B1.CAP, and recently i flashed the bios with a file from "intel iamt" folder, which made acer logo disappear, and also it said "intel" instead, it looked alot different too, like alot of options and so on.

    so, i tried to change back to the old bios, but it didnt work..

    I tried "Grow FV" and some other options without result on that Z370 board. But at the end mod was done, thanks to Serg008 and his this post.
    All window size issues looks like a try to add dpi-dependent window size, but something gone wrong if run on Win7 and default dpi settings.

    While played with phoenixtool also noticed it may not run from LiveCD windows - just because it use some latest .NET features. If possible, please look on this too, because possibility to run from LiveCD environment can be useful sometimes - for example, to make mod done before OS was installed, or to make it from LiveCD environment if current OS is stripped or broken in some ways.
