Insyde BIOS modding discussions

[lee480]

So bascially, my insyde bios cannot be patch directly. You need to patch via the Setup utility.

I managed to extract the Setup utility and the bytecode BUT have no idea how to patch using the given offsets in the bytecode.
I attached the bytecode and the setup up utility and hoping any kind souls will help me do the patching offsets in the setup utility.

Thanks

Abort, Retry, Hack? Blog Archive Enabling Intel VT on the Aspire 8930G (and other InsydeH2O-based laptops)

Very useful, contains a lot of information about Insyde H²O patching for

First of all, thank you for helping me change, just read the forum article, ACER 5742G BIOS modding:

I think perhaps you can help me to change the BIOS has helped, but I did not understand them, I think, ACER laptop, these changes should be the same steps, but the value is not the same, if possible, you can asked the master, how to modify to adapt to a different laptop.
Again ask you to help change under this, thanks, hope you have a good mood every day!

Hi
