Okay, I don't know if you can do this... I don't know if it's even possible for anyone but the manufacturer to do. The Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard removed AHCI from the bios in an earlier update. It wont let me flash it to a previous version and I really don't want to hunt down my Bios Flasher because it's burried in a box somewhere because I had just moved. Then I'd have to pry it out of my motherboard ect.

Now, my question is... Is there any way you can add back the AHCI function to the bios, assuming I can give you both binaries? Or change the version of the older bios to a newer version? I would crack it open in a hex editor or something but I really REALLY don't wanna find that Bios Flasher, and I trust you more than I trust myself.

Anyways, if you're up for the challenge I will post both files:

0401.BIN = old good version

1101.BIN = New Crappy OSX Unfriendly version

I would like to thank you in advance, for the hard work you do for this community, you deserve it.

so, i have for you:

* a direct link to the BIOS file,

* my PC specs: Asus A7S (the other A7S you have is the A7Sv) (Core2 Duo T7300, Mobile Intel PM965 Express and NVidia 8400m),

* and so far I have yet to make it past the kernel panic caused by the ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin module.

I have a core 2 duo 6550 and an asrock conroe 1333dvi/h motherboard with 2gigs of 667mhz ddr2 and I got a xbench score of 184,89 does this mean everything works fine?

Hi Kabyl, may you please do your magic for me? I'm using an HP530, but there are more models using this BIOS. I uploaded a zip file that only has the BIOS (Mediafire). Alternatively you may download the BIOS + Tool from here. And BTW I could boot sometimes using the 2 cores but it was EXTREMELY unstable and I had KP or reboot after less than a minute.

Ok kabyl did my bios for the Lenovo Y510, everything is working great except that my bios will not accept any wireless mini pci e cards besides the 3945ABG and 4965AGN. I get an error : "Unsupported Wireless Device.. system halted" if i use my dell 1390 or a Atheros AR5BXB6.

can kabyl or someone mod it so that it accepts any wireless card =) thanks.

06CN29WW_mod.by.Kabyl.zip

06CN29WW is suppose to be very buggy and the issue you are experiencing is related to those bugs. :06CN30WW is the new BIOS file which solves the bug with the wireless card and several others. If someone could mod it that would be great. Thanks.

Beniboy, go here for your BIOS.

Hi all,
I have made bios modification for notebook MSI GX700

Here is a link:

a1719ims.119 modified

Enjoy it

so, have you tried the bios? does it work?

as i wrote earlier, i had to send in my gx700 because of a bad flash. and that was with a regular bios. however, this is of course tempting...

i know there are some other guys around here with gx700s, and this may be valualbe information. so do you own a gx700 yourself and have you tried the bios with it? and how did you do the flash?

anyway, thanks man!

vladab_2000 · September 1, 2008

Hi,

I have MSI GX700 notebook and I had flash it ant it's working.

How to make a modification is written in this thread posed by david tsu.

And I flash it with AFU414sD.EXE, wich is in original bios zip file.

Hello,

could anyone please make the mod to the folowing BIOS:

http://rapidshare.com/files/140269285/P5Q-ASUS-1306.rar.html

(or attached to the message)

I've actually tried to mod it myself, but ended up with a dead MoBo (Asus P5Q). Fortunately, $10 was enough to reflash the BIOS chip ising a hardware programmer. Please pay attention that the BIOS file in the link above has already been modified (to have the famous SLIC extension for Vista OEM activation).

BTW, is it possible to use the modified part of BIOS .ROM file (located at 1B "Single Link ArchBIOS", as described in tutorial by david tsu), extracting it with MMtool and then merging into a newer .ROM file (with a newer, i.e latest BIOS version)? The point is, I've got a BIOS modified by Kabyl (v.0703), and a newer one (v.1306) with a SLIC modification, and I really would like to have BOTH mods in one BIOS file :-)

Thanks in advance!

P.S. sorry for my bad English, as i come from Russia :-)

does modifing the bios effect my other OS?

heres a link to my bios..thanks to who ever find it.. =]

any chance of getting a mod version ?

thank you very much

mwk_soul · September 2, 2008

Sorry if I'm being off-topic! Beniboy, did you already try if mac worked with both cores AFTER updating with that BIOS? Because, as this version is relatively new it may work. If you didn't, try it. About the other OS(es) you have in your computer there will be no problem.

2 HYS17:

hi! Are you trying to modify the original 1306 bios from ASUS site? The one I was referring to 3 posts above was pre-modified (to have the SLIC extension). Actually, I've had the same trouble as you do, with the compiler talking about "reserved words" etc...

I've decompiled 1B section of 0703 bios file modified by Kabyl; seems like he simply changed expressions like _T_0 and _T_1 to look like T_0 and T_1, respectively. I did the same thing, but my modified 1306 bios lead me to a dead motherboard (reflashed it with a hardware programmer, though). Perhaps, I made some more mistakes...

As no one else seems to be wiiling to help, would you mind sharing your thoughts, if any, with me?

I myself eventually has come to an idea to replace DSDT block in the new 1306 bios with the same block, but from the 0703 bios modded by Kabyl (which presumably works). I even made a new 1306 BIOS .rom file, which has both SLIC and DSDT extensions. Unfortunately, I don't have a spare 25L8005 serial flash chip to replace my MoBo BIOS in case I fail again... And I really dont't like the perspective to travel across the whole city again to visit the guys with the hardware programmer.

If anyone (with two P5Qs on hands or with a hardware programmer) risks to test it and report results, I'm attaching the file. But please don't blame me if anything goes wrong...

Thanks so much and i'm so glad someone has checked my problem.

I'v tried the old 0703 BIOS file.Unfortunately,it caused my PC crashed several times when I was running on Vista 64-bit even though it was doing fine under Leopard 10.5.4.

That's y I wanna compile the newest 1306 by myself since nobody really care about this.

Yet I am a new 1 in this area and don't have any coding experiences.I just follow the steps that posted in here.So I really don't have any thoughts to share with u.So sorry

But if u r willing to test something I'd love to assist except the BIOS thing because I don't know anybody that could do the hardware programming thing in this town.

Mayb we could talk on MSN.I will send u mine.

Jimmy Urine · September 3, 2008

hey there can i please ask you to modify my bios file?

http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/U6Ep/U6SgEp304AS.zip - this is the direct link to it.

the general spec is as followed:

Intel T8300 - 2.4GHz

Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Chipset +ICH8M

NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M G

can this be done?

maslokm · September 3, 2008

Hello, You can try to fix your bios yourself by editing DSDT table. You need to get your current DSDT table. It could be accomplished by booting Ubuntu livecd and installing 'iasl' package using Synaptic. This is needed to disassemble the DSDT table.

Needed steps:

sudo cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > DSDT.dat (extract the current ACPI DSDT)

iasl -d DSDT.dat (disassemble to create DSDT.dsl)

Next you can edit the DSDT.dsl file like author explained it in first post.

Last step is recompilation of DSDT.dsl using command:

iasl DSDT.dsl

Modified BIOS to get all cores working
