    yes please!
    By using w7lxe i checked and if it has slic 2.1. I got a negative result.
    When i open phoenixtool it says Recovery filenames are: 1. N5110.hdr & 2.DQ15A11.rom
    Which i cant find anywhere this two files.
    So if i'm not breaking any rule, i'd need some help, if possible on how to correctly extract them and activate slic2.1.
    Thank you.

    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.
