Acer Laptop with Phoenix BIOS: BIOS MOD Request

Hi kizwan!

I've installed the Packard Bell_EasyNote TJ65_BIOS_1.31_VT MOD from this Post and it works fine on my Pb TJ65. Thank you so far! But is it possible to unhide an option to disable the beep when I plug in/unplug my laptop's AC adapter?

Thanks

 

For now, I don't have plan to support UEFI BIOS.

There is no such option to disable the beeps when unplugging/plugging the AC adapter.

 

Hi Kizwan,

Noted. Thanks for your reply. Do update us in here once you have plans and when feel like it in starting on the UEFI BIOS.

Cheers!!!

 

Note to anyone doing UEFI mods: The Internal Form Representation code's format is publicly documented as part of the UEFI and Intel EFI specifications. (Be careful - many "UEFI" BIOSes are actually Intel EFI, which has a slightly different IFR encoding.)

 

@kizwan: Hello kizwan, i have a Problem with my Lan device on Acer 3820TG@modded Bios 1.19. I deactivated the Lan in the hidden intel menu but i cant activate it anymore. The Windows Devicemanager does not show the Lan Card. It would be very nice if you could help me or give me a tip. Thank you.

 

Reset CMOS by disconnecting the CMOS/RTC battery. You'll need to disassembled your notebook to access the CMOS/RTC battery.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Request:
Bios Mod Acer Aspire 5740G for Hd5650 overclock from 550/750 to 650/900 with powerplay enabled . I have an Aspire 5740G-624G64Mn (with Intel core i7 620m). Thanks!
Bios Link: http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...=Aspire 5740G&OS=722&LC=it&BC=Acer&SC=EMEA_17

 

Sorry, I'm no longer support VBIOS mod.

 

Thanks anyway! Who should I ask?

 

Try ask seeker_moc@here. It's in Dell thread, so...good luck!

 

Hello,

the latest ACER BIOS update for the 5740G disabled the bluetooth on on reboot (before the update, if the bluetooth was on before reboot, it was automatically turned on after the reboot) so I hope that it is possible to automatically enable the bluetooth module from within the BIOS since from what I've noticed this isn't possible from within the OS. Do you think you could MOD the 1.28 BIOS (link: http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...=Aspire 5740G&OS=722&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=EMEA_27 ) to enable bluetooth automatically on every boot (not only reboot)? I first thought of disassembling the laptop and connecting the bluetooth module to another USB port, but that would mean I'd have a lot of trouble (disassembling it) and would lose a USB port, so if it would be possible from within the BIOS that would be really awesome.
Thank you very much in advance!

 

kizwan, you can mod bios alienware m11x r1 ?

Acer 5534 Bios V1.18

http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_1.18_A_A.zip?acerid=634068192357835697&Step1=Notebook&Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%205534&OS=V10&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6​

I have a new more powerful cpu installed but i need to access to the cpu voltage controls to get it to function properly. Is there anything you can do to help?

 

Downgrade the BIOS to a version that work for you. No need to update the BIOS if not necessary.

Hidden menu/options in this BIOS are not properly linked. It's not possible to unlock/unhide 'em.

 

This notebook use Insyde BIOS. Sorry, Insyde BIOS is not supported here. Anyway, it's very unlikely to find voltage control option (hidden) in the BIOS.

 

Well, there are 2 reasons I made this request:
1) I have installed a second HDD instead of my optical drive, and previous versions of the BIOS don't support that (I had to put a on/off button on the caddy and turn the HDD off until after BIOS or the BIOS would get stuck, ugly stuff...)
2) Even the previous BIOS didn't turn the bluetooth on at every boot, just at reboots, like I already said. But seeing that it is possible to turn the bluetooth module on from the BIOS I thought it might be possible to turn it on at every boot (I have a bluetooth mouse so I always need bluetooth turned on).

If you can't or don't want to do it, please let me know, I'll just disassemble it and will try to connect the bluetooth module to another USB port, which is always on.
Thanks for your reply!

Hi Kizwan,

Can you please mod the BIOS for my Acer Ferrari One FO200 as I would like to overclock my CPU? The latest BIOS is version 3112

http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_3112_A_A.zip?acerid=634169419436986118&Step1=Netbook&Step2=Ferrari One&Step3=FO200&OS=722&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=AAP_10

Another question that I have is that I want to upgrade the CPU in my Ferrari from a AMD L310 to a TK-42 or a K345, would you know what if these two or any other CPU's would be supported by the BIOS?

 

Sorry, your request is not supported here.

Please use 3rd party tools like SetFSB to overclock. I unable to determine whether the processors you mentioned here are supported or not on Acer Ferrari One FO200. The AMD Microcode Update is different than Intel Microcode Update.

 

Thanks Kizwan. The problem that I have with SetFSB is that I have to run the program every time I boot the computer as the new FSB settings aren't stored and they are being reset to default when rebooting.

Can you still provide a BIOS update for my Ferrari One so that I can access the hidden BIOS features?

Thanks a lot

 

ok, thank you very much for your time!

 

Create a batch file that calls your setfsb with the right parameters and create a schedule to run it whenever you login (reboot or resume).

Code:

3.Command Line Switch Options
 SetFSB Version 2.3.163.129 has the following Command Line Switch Options.

   -w : Wait [00-99 sec] default=10sec
   -s : Set FSB [000-999 MHz] or [000.0-999.9 MHz]
   -i : Increment(targetFSB > currentFSB) or Decrement(targetFSB < currentFSB) [00-99 MHz] or [00.0-99.9 MHz] default=max 
   -u : 0(default)=normal , 1=ultra
   -b : 0(default)=normal , 1=background
   -p : PCI-E [000-999 MHz] or [000.0-999.9 MHz] default=none
         FSB overclock[set PCI-E then increase FSB], FSB underclock[decrease FSB then set PCI-E]
   -q : Quiet [no GUI to be displayed at all]
   -cg[string] : Clock Generator default=none Maximum 15 characters

 Example: -w05 -s300.1 -p105.1 -cg[ICS9LPRS918BKL] -u1

 

This is modified BIOS image for Acer Ferrari One FO200. It's based on BIOS v3112. Use at your own risk! No overclock options.

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.

 

Thanks mate, I'll give that a go

 

@kizwan

Thanks a lot Kizwan, much appreciated.

 

hello， my laptop Mode,Aspire 4741G(this notebook is with optimus techknowledge which I don't like ).
BIOS available here JE40128.ROM
the notebook is I3 380M&GT540M ,can you help me edit the bios ，so that it can switch the graphic to Nvidia card only？many thx

 

On Nvidia Optimus powered notebook, the Intel HD Graphics responsible in forwarding frames from Nvidia GPU to display/output. The Nvidia GPU do not have direct connection with display/output.

 

er， I hear the 4741G with GT420M could disabled the Intel HD graphic（the book is originally blocked the Intel HD Graphic，but someone enable the optimus function，so ，is it possible for mine to disable the Intel card？）

 

all right,I want to have a try,when I open the bios with pbe,it shows psi analysis fail,why was that?

 

Disable the Intel HD Graphics? Yes, you can but you'll only get blank screen after that.

PBE is an old software. It will unable to open newer BIOS.

 

er,is there any other software to modify the phoenix bios file?(or it can't be modified?)

 

Are you using v2.2.1.3? The older v2.2.0.1 and v2.0.x.x versions are known to have problems.

 

er，I‘m already use the 2.2.1.3，when I open
the rom from official site,it tells psi analysis fail ,when I open the wph file it shows invalid ROM length,how can i make it?

when I open the rom from official site,it tells psi analysis fail ,when I open the wph file it shows invalid ROM length,how can i make it?(I just want to have a try(open the hidden menu) ,even though it won’t be done,could you please help me make it)

 

You won't be able to open the BIOS image using PBE. All newer BIOS can't. Even if you able to open it using PBE, you won't be able to see the hidden options. PBE is a simple BIOS tool which have limited functionality. The only way to modify a BIOS is using HEX editor. At first post you can find a tutorial doc on how to unlock hidden options. You also can find modified BIOS for Aspire 4741 at post #1580.

 

Hi again kizwan,
I have this laptop - Dell Latitude D620 with Intel T5600 CPU. In bios I have the menu for enabling Virtualization. If I run securable in Windows XP 32bit, it says - Virtualization Locked On. If I right click on securable and "run as" current user, it shows YES for virtualization but with a mention - click for more - where it says that bios might disable this feature.
So, is the virtualization working in this laptop ?

 

Test install 64-bit OS in VMware or any other virtual machine software. If success, the VT is enabled.

 

Ok, thanks kizwan.

 

Hi, Is there a bios mod for the ACER 5740G i3 model ati 5650 bios 128 thank you for your help !

 

You can find the modified BIOS for Aspire 5740G at post #1517.

 

Hi, Mine is Dell Studion 1555. Which was stopped working when I tried to upgrade my bios from A07 to A11. Now I want to go back to my old bios A07. Where can I find that, when I downloaded it from Dell, it is an EXE file. Where can I get my bios file in WPH format.

 

I have Dell Studio 1555 BIOS A11, already extracted the .WPH file.
Dell Studio 1555 A11.rar

EDIT: Just rename the 1555_A11.ROM to BIOS.WPH.

 

that is so prompt response. Thanks for your help. I will follow this process.

1) Create the CRISIS disk using USB flash drive
2) Disconnect any external devices, battery & power cord
3) Plugged in the CRISIS disk to your Dell notebook
4) Press "End" key
5) While holding the "End" key, plugged in the power cord & then release the "End" key (DO NOT PRESS THE POWER BUTTON)
6) The notebook should automatically powered on
7) Let it run for 10 minutes, just in case
8) If the recovery successful, your notebook should automatically restart with working BIOS.

Please let me know if I miss anything. Once again thanks

 

Make sure create the CRISIS disk in Win XP. Not in compatible mode but in real Windows XP. Good luck!

 

Hi,

I'd like to ask if somebody could modify the Acer Aspire 5738Z v1.34 BIOS so that it allows the user to set the CPU core frequency and the CPU cooling fan speed.

thanks

 

Sorry, both are not available in the BIOS.

 

Hi, This is Siva again. As I don't have XP, I tried to create DOS bootable flash drive. Can I create the DOS bootable device in vista with the method you showed earlier. I tried this, But it is not working. Please help me.

 

BIOS recovery doesn't require DOS bootable drive. You'll need CRISIS disk. You must create the CRISIS disk in Windows XP. Install Windows XP in VMware or VirtualBox or any virtual machine software.

 

I have acer aspire notebook model 3680-2682, what version of bios should i be updated too?

also, if the acer driver download site stops at some point updating, are there any other places to update?

and should one not use other models to update to a newer bios?
are specific acer models bios different?

i found this link to a bios updater scan, is it known to be good or is it no good?

one last thing, would i have to update my current bios to enable virtualization and speed stepping?
Thanks for any help.

 

Aspire 3680 is an old model, yours probably already have latest BIOS. No need to update anymore.

Only use BIOS from manufacturer. Using BIOS from third party source can damaged your notebook.

You can't use BIOS from other model. It can damaged your notebook.

^^Please re-read the second & third line.

Aspire 3680 is NOT equipped with Virtualization & SpeedStep capable processor.
