Tool to Insert/Replace SLIC in Phoenix / Insyde / Dell / EFI BIOSes

the default BIOS settings on that board are AHCI, Dell set it back to ATA/IDE to install their image on it so it won't boot if you load defaults in the bios back to ACHI until you set it back to ATA/IDE. It's not a problem with the mod or the tool or anything, it's not even a problem, after flashing a board you need to configure its bios. Windows needs installed with AHCI for ACHI mode to work, as the Dell Images aren't installed using ACHI mode then it doesn't boot with it.

 

When the BIOS comes up first time, when it would normally boot win7 the system reboots, then everything loads normally. It only does this once, the first time after you flash it. Observed this twice when loading new BIOS's onto machine.

System works perfectly when switched backed to ATA. Just didnt expect it so was caught out. They have a Samsung SSD in this laptop which the name is Samsung SSD RBX Series 128GB. Maybe I should reinstall the OS using AHCI instead... hmmmm.

 

Ahh well that explains a lot. I will need to include that in the Mod instructions for new users.

 

The benefit to AHCI is hot swapping, I doubt you'll be hot swapping your solid state primary drive so ATA is fine

 

1.59 doesn't work for Acer 8735ZG

Trying to insert SLIC 2.1
1.59 reports success (using dynamic method or SSV2), but when opening the modded BIOS, it says "Complete SLIC (2.0) (ACRSYSACRPRDCT ANNI) in ACPI05.ROM (x1) Pubkey and marker (2.1) (ACRSYSACRPRDCT) in ACPI05.ROM (x1)"

There is BIOS and RW report in archive:
h**p://featheredfrog.org.ua/forums.mydigitallife.net/Acer_8735ZG_BIOSes_and_RW.rar
Just replace h**p:// with http:// in web-browser (sorry for inconvenience)

I think it's a new variety of Acer lock
maybe it can be solved with advanced settings of 1.59, but I'm not sure

Hope for new version of Phoenix mod tool
Thank you!

 

andyp, is it still needed to have a slic 2.0 present in the bios ??? because my old laptop has no slic table in the bios and i want to mod it with 2.1

 

no you don't need an existing slic to add a 2.1 slic

这是个好工具，虽然我还没用

Translation:
This is a good tool, though I have not used it.

 

Please give a translation. It is against forum rules to not have a translation with a foreign language.

I assume your bios already has a 2.0 slic for Vista? If this is the case dynamic will replace that slic with the 2.1 for Win7, have you tried flashing with the dynamic mod?

 

My bios has no slic 2.0 because the laptop is from 2006.

 

Thank you, Andy, but 1.61 didn't help either.
Now there is the following in log:
Module 51 lock (type 3) found in MOD_5100.ROM at 5E2E
Module 51 lock (type 3) found in MOD_5100.ROM at 5E2E patched
New MOD_5100.ROM Module is correct size
** MOD_5100.ROM reintegrated successfully

But, after all, got the same: "Complete SLIC (2.0) (ACRSYSACRPRDCT ANNI) in ACPI05.ROM (x1) Pubkey and marker (2.1) (ACRSYSACRPRDCT) in ACPI05.ROM (x1)"

Please help
