Acer Laptop with Phoenix BIOS: BIOS MOD Request

Hello,

Can you do a modded bios to Acer Aspire 5732Z ?

I was hopping that you can unlock the option " video memory ". 64MB is poor.

Thanks.

Link to bios: http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...ep3=Aspire 5732Z&OS=V10&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_7

 

Sorry, your request is not supported. It use Insyde BIOS. The ability to change the video memory is depend on the video specification. I already look into this matter (for Phoenix BIOS) before. I'm afraid what you see in BIOS (for video memory), it is the only option you will get.

 

Hey,

one question. is it possible to reduce the fan noise with the mod bios?
thx

 

No changes for FAN in the modified BIOS. Sorry, mod request for FAN control is not supported.

 

Sorry. I was thinking that this was a Phoenix Bios.

Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

 

just one question, I have acer aspire 5562 t2300. And i want to upgrade to t7200. I downloaded the phoenix v1.28 bios (latest) from acer website, will there be any problem? will i need to do/know something else?

 

You need to know what chipset & IO controller does Aspire 5562 have. Look in the Intel website for the CPU compatibility with the chipset & IO controller.

 

@Kizwan,

Hello, is that tuto ready?

My cpu does have speed step, but What about that bios mod? have you forgotten master?

 

I already answered about your request at post #469. About that tutorial, I already started it but not finish yet. Please wait, it will be available soon.

 

kizwan, impressive s*it man !!

well, i might has well ask for your knowledge about this.

Can you see what can you unlock ??

thank you for your time!

 

Can I assume the Advanced menu is visible in real BIOS Setup Menu?

May I know the computer model? I know you have NVIDIA chipset because I saw MCP79 Core Voltage: string in BIOS.

 

yes it is !! the debug menu is not tho.
just wanted to see if you can unlock any other function.

it is a toshiba qosmio x300-14

 

There are nothing interesting in Debug section.

I have found extra advanced menu. Just need to find it's parent menu so that I can unlock it all. I will post the modified BIOS image when it ready. For the mean time, please make sure your notebook can recover corrupted BIOS with CRISIS disk. BTW, your notebook have nice design. What is the price for this monster?

 

cool ! i was really hopping with cpu extra options.
this laptop model has been replaced with the qosmio x500 but i still prefer my model. it cost me 2000 euros with the q9000 cpu but i replaced it with a qx9300.

 

the chipset is intel 945pm express... and about i/o i am not very clear..

 

Looking for BIOS mod for Acer TM8210 and aspire 5517 please Kizwan.

thank you.

 

I mean just the VT enabled if possible.


thank you.

 

OK. I will post the modified BIOS when it ready. For the mean time, please make sure your computer can recover corrupted BIOS with CRISIS disk.

EDIT: Aspire 5517 is using Insyde BIOS. Sorry, Insyde BIOS mod request is not supported. However TravelMate 8210 is using Phoenix BIOS. I will proceed with it only.

 

That sounds great Kizwan I am using the TM8210 daily and wanted to be able to load some 64 bit server2008 with hyper-v. I am planning to purchase an Acer Aspire 5680 with T7200 have you already modded that bios for VT?

thanks again for the quick reply!

 

According to notebookcheck website, your TM8210 have Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7400, right? If yes, there should be no problem. T7200 also have Virtualization technology. If you want to buy another notebook, I suggest you to buy Acer Aspire 5740G instead. I believe it is not too expensive. The CPU & graphic card is much better.

EDIT: Modified BIOS for Aspire 5680 already available here.

 

Kizwan this is my CPU in TM8210:

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7200
(4M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 667 MHz FSB)

I can get a 5680 for $250 with T7200 also.

thanks!

 

What about a acer 5735z is that a good one to modify? It has intel GMA 4500M

 

Hey kizwan,
I have an M11x bios I would like you to have a look at. I can't seem to open in Phoenix Bios Editor as it gives an about having "no BCPs". I tried a hex and it gives out alot of gibberish.
You can get the BIOS from here (my upload of the .ROM taken from a temporary location.)
I'm hoping you can mod it for the overclock mode to go to 333mhz instead of 266mhz and also check the multi under overclock if that's possible.
Thanks.

 

Look like it have low specification than Aspire 5680. What is the purpose for this new computer? Are you going to run some simulation (since you did mention about Windows 2008 Hyper-V)?

 

Hi Kizwan,
My request: Acer Asprire 5741G
Features what i might need: Intel-VT, SpeedStep,
Original BIOS: Here

Thanks for your effort in advance,

 

I want to install server 2008 w/hyper-v and run 2 VM's inside for MS training.

The ACer Aspire 5680 with 4gb of ram I am hoping will be ok for that purpose to run 1 or 2 64 bit vm for testing. It also has Geforce 7600-SE so would be ok for old games not new games. Also I think it is not 16:9 screen. The TM8210 is my everyday laptop and has the latest bios 3522 installed but still no access to Intel VT in BIOS menu and has T7200 CPU.

How do I test my tm8210 for crisis disk recovery? I already have USB bootable working, that is how I flashed to 3522 bios last week.


thanks!

 

I'll look into this. For the mean time, please make sure your notebook can recover corrupted BIOS with CRISIS disk. For Dell, assuming Dell Studio & Dell Alienware BIOS recovery procedure is the same, it should be like this:-
1) Create CRISIS disk with USB flash drive
2) Rename BIOS rom file to BIOS.WPH file & copy to the CRISIS disk
3) Disconnect the battery & power cord
4) Plug-in CRISIS disk
5) Press the End button & in the same time plug-in power cord. Notebook should automatically powered itself. Do not release the End button yet.
6) When you see USB flash drive LED indicator is blinking, release the End button. (For Dell Studio, the battery charging indicator will blinking)
7) When the process finished, it will reboot automatically.

AFAIK, the Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 (assuming) in Alienware M11x already overclocked from 1.3GHz to 1.6GHz (266MHz x 6). Do you want it to be 333MHz x 5 multiplier instead?

 

Your notebook have Insyde BIOS. Sorry, Insyde BIOS mod request is not supported.

 

I see. That is why you're looking for cheap but capable notebook.

Please go to at first post for more info.

 

I have crisis disk downloaded and am trying it with USB pen drive now.

Do you require link for 3522 bios for TM8210?


thanks!

Hello Kizwan,

i did read your suggestions about how to correct corputed bios, i have an acer extensa 5220, can i follow your notes about the acer aspire?

I do not have an external usb floppy drive, nor an internal. I do have a usb external hdd (with external power) and a usb flash/memory drive, a usb stick, can i use this somehow to follow the procedure?

Thanks
greetings

No thanks. I already downloaded the 3522 BIOS file from acer-euro website.

 

Yes, you can. The procedure almost identical for most Acer notebook.

On some notebook, during recovery process, it look for floppy disk, while on some notebook, it look for USB flash drive. You can't choose which one you want to use. If recovery process failed with USB flash drive, you will need to use floppy disk. If this is the case, you will need to get USB floppy drive.

 

I tried to use the FN-esc key while putting in the power and powering up but the USB flash drive just stays on steady. This was with an Acer TM8210. Does this mean I require a USB floppy drive?

 

How long did you wait? Yes, you might need USB floppy drive.

 

I waited 5 minutes and I kept holding down FN and ESC but the USB drive just stays lit up red steady.

 

Please read the instruction carefully.

 

I read them again and tried but the usb drive never flashes during this procedure.

 

hello kizwan,

Thank you for the instruction, but i do not completly understand. Do i have to create a discovery disk /drive, by activating/executing a file (????.exe?), part of the recovery files to be downloaded; or do i just have to put the downloaded recovery files on a disk/drive, and exchange the bios file by my own laptop bios file and put it on a disk/drive?

Do i have to change boot settings prior to the procedure, in the bios?

greetings
fiesta

 

I'll work on recovery disks later today.
I would like to see 333x6 for 2ghz if it was possible. If it doesn't work, then I could use 333x5.5 instead. The CPU isn't getting any faster as it is so I don't see the problem with blind testing.
Thanks

 

Hello!

first of all, my English isnt good

i use acer 5740g and it has i5 processor.

i want to use intel graphics card when dont play games.

but bios not allowed to do this

how can i use switchable graphics on 5740G?

thank you

 

Kizwan - there is a valuable thread within the m11x forum under alienware...
http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m11x/463095-m11x-clock-generator-ics9lprs387bklf.html

There is a lot of talks about the motherboard, the pll number, etc... One thing that may be a challenge is that currently our bios allows for OC in the bios. 6.5 x 266 = 1.73ghz. However it also lowers the voltage, from our stock settings to maintain cool temps when OC is enabled... (I know you would think they would have given us more voltage right??)
I think it's possible to raise our FSB with the understanding that we need to at least have our original voltage, rather than the lowered to begin the OC process. I hope you are able to help us get 200 x 300 extra mhz.

DavyGT - Thanks for the heads up. Let me what I can do to help.

Best Wishes, StevenX

 

had any luck on the toshiba x300 bios ??

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.

 

Any luck with the TM8210 Kizwan? I hope it is Phoenix bios.

thanks!

 

I'll look into this. I will post the modified BIOS image when it ready. For the mean time, please make sure your notebook can recover corrupted BIOS with CRISIS disk.

kizwan, thank you for the bios and it did work but has predicted changing the new values made the laptop to not post. Had to remove motherboard and desolder the cmos battery.

please remove the link so no one else "bricks" the laptop.

thank you for your time on this !!

 

Will the Bios you posted for 5630 be compatible with my 5630Z Extensa? I plan to run OSX.
