Acer Laptop with Phoenix BIOS: BIOS MOD Request

[ribmarco]

The only way to know whether BIOS recovery with CRISIS disk is working or not, put different version of BIOS image for your Samsung Aspire 5740G notebook in the CRISIS disk. This way you can determine whether the BIOS recovery is successful or not, by checking the BIOS version in BIOS. If BIOS version changed, that means BIOS recovery is successful.

If you can't obtain other BIOS version, you can use the modified BIOS image. This is not recommended though but I also don't see any danger with it. Put the modified BIOS image in CRISIS disk. If after BIOS recovery successful, you should see new options (unlocked hidden options) in BIOS menu.

Can you post step-by-step BIOS recovery procedure you use on your Samsung notebook? Including the notebook behavior like blank display, LED blinking, etc, anything you see or remember. Thank you.

EDIT: Little confusion there. I just realized your notebook is Aspire 5740G after I look to your previous post.

Hi Kizwan,

Can you please unlock the hidden intel menu for my sony vaio sz56 bios ver r0122s5?

Link to r0122s5 bios


Thank you

This is modified BIOS image for Sony VAIO SZ56. It is based on BIOS R0122S5.
Sony VAIO SZ56 R0122S5 MOD.rar
- Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) unlocked - for enabling dual-IDA using ThrottleStop.



Info regarding ME Devices & ME BIOS options:-
- Host Embedded Controller Interface
- Configuring Intel ME BIOS Extension for the first time
(I don't know whether your notebook hardware supported it or not)

NOTES: I have unlocked other menu as well. Please be careful with it. If your computer doesn't boot after changing something in the sub-menu, you will need to disconnect the CMOS/RTC battery to reset CMOS back to default. To do so, you will need to open your notebook casing.

Please make sure your notebook can recover corrupted BIOS with CRISIS disk before flashing BIOS with this modified BIOS image. I will not responsible for any problem. Good luck.

kizwan, I have an old bios for a clevo w860cu that includes an advanced menu and i got a new bios that misses that option is it possible for you to enable that menu in the new bios? Old bios New bios

Note that old bios was originally for the w870 (the 17'' version of the 860)
But it works on the 860.

It is impossible to copy options from one BIOS to another BIOS. If the options you looking for exist in the new BIOS, I can unlocked it for you. Is the advanced options you looking for consists of a couple of "Sub-Menu"? For example "CPU Control Sub-Menu", "MCH Control Sub-Menu", etc. If these what are you looking for, I can see it in the new BIOS. So, I can unlocked it for you. If you can provide screenshot of the BIOS menu (new BIOS), that would be great because I can plan where to put the unlocked options.

I'll look into this later. For the meantime, make sure your notebook can recover corrupted BIOS with CRISIS disk.

This is modified BIOS image for Clevo W860CU.

Sorry, SLIC 2.1 mod request is not supported as stated at first post. FAN & FSB control are not available in the original BIOS, so I can't unlocked it. If you're looking for overclocking options, you'll be disappointed because your notebook BIOS doesn't have/support such feature. There are a lot of other options you might be interested such as:-
- C States options
- VT options
- Speedstep options
- PCI Express options
Other mod that I can do is unlocked the EIST. When EIST is unlocked, you can control Speedstep (enabled/disabled) in windows using Throttlestop. You will be able to enabled dual-IDA mode using Throttestop. For overclock, you'll need to use tools like SetFSB & Throttlestop.

The modified BIOS image will be ready as soon as possible. For the meantime, make sure your notebook can recover corrupted BIOS with CRISIS disk.

It is either the new CPU is faulty OR it doesn't supported at all. CPU microcode update won't be able to fix either of the problem.

When you said "it restarts itself once then shut down itself with tl-68"; at the point before "it restart itself", did it managed to load windows OR at least you see POST at all?
