ASRock ALiveNF6G-DVI and Athlon II X2 260u support

$

Hello to All.

I think that the Athlon II X2 260u Stepping C2 (AD260USCK23GQ) (TDP 25W!) should work in ALiveNF6G-DVI,
because ALiveNF6G-GLAN P1.80 (and ALiveNF6G-DVI with BIOS L2.28 (2009 year), I think it should) supports Regor Stepping C2 (not C3, unfortunately).
It is correct?
What do you think about this?

And anyway, ALiveNF6G-* can use any AMD CPU with TDP 25W or less than 35W?
What do you think?

Urgent Lenovo Z50-70 BIOS Help

$

0
I'm a software engineering (college) student, and my school laptop (Z50-70) is out of commission. I really need my laptop back up and running soon for school, so I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks in advance!

Background
Due to a known bug in Ubuntu 17.10, my BIOS was corrupted, and changes are not saved. My HDD was formatted, and since BIOS changes cannot be saved, I cannot change the boot order to boot using another device. I have ordered a CH341A based programmer and a test clip similar to those mentioned on a thread here on bios-mods. (Source 1 below)

I've been searching for clear instructions on how to proceed, but I'm having troubles with that. I can extract the .exe BIOS update from Lenovo to get a .fd file, but I believe I need a .bin file to flash the chip. I was able to find someone in the same situation as me on the Ubuntu bug report page. (Source 2 below)

Questions
1)  Where do I get a .bin file to flash the chip with?
2)  Do I need to read my chip and modify the current BIOS, or can I simply use a .bin found online?
3)  What did the individual from the bug report comment (Source 2 below) mean about the different regions or the ROM?
4)  What software should I use? E.g. software to read, write, and edit the ROM data.

Hello,
I have an Acer Power m8 computer that came with the MCP61PM-AM HT2000 Rev 1.0A motherboard. I think it's fowconn or ECS motherboard.

I flashed the BIOS with the latest firmware of Acer last week (R01_C0) :here (https://www.acer.com/ac/fr/FR/content/support-product/923?b=1) 2008/12/09 Version: R01-C0, and everything went fine with the Winflash software  Smile  ! It is an award 6.00 pg bios. I use this motherboard as a computer server and my purpose is to underclock a little the cpu to reduce consumption ! But this latest acer bios is locked, there are no clock options... Sad

I have seen this similar motherboard:https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/archive/...170-3.html
and this identical motherboard; https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-G...M-Rev-1-0A but links in Gateway are dead !

Thank you in advance for your help
and sorry for my bad english.

Best regards

Hello, I have Acer Spin SP513-51 ultrabook and there is the newest BIOS InsydeH20 1.11. I want to change DVMT Size to 64MB but when I changing in EFI Shell (grub) it throws error: can't set variable using efi (error: 0x0000000000000008) so I think that BIOS is write locked Sad. Having Advanced menu will be nice too Tongue
Bios chip is MX25L6473F and I have CH341 programmer so it won't be problem to flash it. I need only to buy pomona clip because i don't want to solder it because I can damage it like my old router Tongue Now I only want to know it is possible to activate this menu or change DVMT size and if yes it will be nice to get modified bios so when I will get pomona clip I can flash it. Of course for help I can donate Smile
I tried to set DVMT Size via setup_var 0xDF 0x2
Original BIOS, extracted variables etc. in attachment. Regards Matthew Smile

Acer Aspire A517 - Insyde Bios - Secret Keys?

$

Hi guys!

I recently bought an Acer Aspire laptop (A517-51G-55G9) and a weird thing just happened......

I needed to get into the BIOS and change something, I couldn't remember which F-Key got me into the BIOS, so I just started hitting everything from escape to F12 etc and then, finally, up comes the BIOS.....

But here's the weird part. When I was last in the BIOS it was really stripped down - everything useful was hidden. This time, the entire BIOS was exposed. And I mean everything. Pages and pages of screens with really arcane settings that I have no clue as to what they do. You could overclock it, overclock the memory, change every little bit of the processor power management, change which GPU it uses - I mean, TONS of options.

So I re-start the computer, go back into the BIOS (to see if it's still the same) and no, it's back to the lame factory screens.

The only thing that could cause this would have been that I entered some kind of 'secret' key setting when I got into the BIOS the first time. I knew I should have taken pictures of the screens because you would not believe what was exposed. 

So my question is, have I stumbled onto something that lots of people already know about, and if so, what are the magic keystrokes that I entered in when I got the full options screens? What is the secret key(s)?

deleted all my hard disk and no any change
Also removed CMOS , Hard disk and battery just ac power , and ac power with battery
the same problem can't change boot options from f2 or f12

I tried to extract files from 5451_A03.exe but no bin , rom or hex files, and I tried to use commands port to make files but no thing happen and I can't find any bin or rom

It's the last way to try it as I think, but if any one can help to fix this problem so thank you
and I need help to extract bin , rom and hex files to try to flash Bios from dos

Clevo P950HR - Custom Boot Splash Help

$

Hi everyone. 

Apologies if this isn't the right place for this, I know there is a 'Clevo BIOS' sticky on the forum but a lot of that looks to be aimed at the Prema stuff, but doesn't look like he is active these days.


So I have a Clevo P950HR which I purchased from PC Specialist in the UK, all is great however I decided I wanted to update the BIOS from the version they supplied it with, to the latest Clevo release I could find. The laptop came with BIOS 1.05.05TPCS and 1.05.05 EC Firmware, and I have flashed 1.05.06 from here: http://rjtech.com/shop/index.php?dispatc...page_id=25 (if anyone knows a better place to find BIOS releases for these Clevo machines, please let me know).

However after flashing, I now have the stupid 'Style Notebook' splash screen on boot and would really like to change it to something else. 

I am booting from USB and using afuefix64 to flash the BIOS which is what comes included with the new release I downloaded (https://www.rjtech.com/Driver/Intel_Fix/...FI_OEM.zip). 

I found a copy of AMI ChangeLogo v5 which was able to open up the BIOS file (there is a BIOS.BIN and an ALL.ROM) extract the existing splash .bmp image and replace it with a different image file, that part seems to work fine. 


The issue is when I then attempt to flash the BIOS back again, using either `Flash` or `FlashMe` which look to just be wrapper scripts, or by invoking the afuefix64 program manually I am then given the following error: 

"18 - Error: Secure Flash Rom Verify fail."

I have tried running: 

Flash (this is just a wrapper for the afuefix64 BIOS.BIN /p /b /n command)
FlashMe (this seems to instead use the ALL.ROM file, which looks to include both the Bios and the Intel ME fw)
manually run afuefix64 BIOS.BIN /p /b /n 

I've noticed with AFUDOS people use the /GAN flag which apparently allows the program to flash the file anyway, however this isn't a thing in afuefix64 I am using (neither is /gan). I'm guessing this is happening because the integrity of the original file has been changed or has modified the files signature. 


This is about were my knowledge of BIOS flashing ends, and was really hoping someone could help me with this. 


Thanks.
