Have you installed a x64 OS? if no you are using the wrong utility.

You can try to update bios in dos.

cheers

 

so explain to me how can i do by dos, i dont know how to do. i need every steeps pleas. and yes i have 7 ultimate 64bits

 

and what diferences did you see in your acer after change the bios??

 

on your bios update folder you should have
BIOS.WPH, phlash.ini, PhlashLc.dll, PhlashNT.sys and Winphlash64.exe.
Do not forget to rename your update bios from BIOSMOD.WPH to BIOS.wph if it's not allready with that name.

 

Just again, if you not need the new options, don't flash the bios.

 

is givin me the same error.

 

whats your current bios version?

 

is the 3236.

 

where did you get the Winphlash program from?

 

i the internet, i put in google, why?

 

heres the program from acer themselves. try this

winphlash

as always at your OWN RISK

 

post after youve tried it

 

is give me error ate the same. i change the name i change the software what more can i do???

 

i think that i have read it on some forum that winphlash for 64 bits OS gives problems. Best thing i to do it in Dos. In this thread you find what your looking for.
Find post 64 and see how to make a bootable pen drive,
see the attached file phlash17. Download it and copy to pen drive, see details inside the zip. Copy Bios.wph to it, restart computer hit f12 and boot from pen drive.

Also is good to have a crisis disk prepared in case something goes wrong. Again in this thread you can find it.

Remember use it at your own risk, no one will be responsible if you damage your notebook when trying to update the bios.

 

well i have done it, i put the new bios, there wasnt any problem i am glad for that. so and with this new options what can i do to improve the speed of the notebook? where i need to change. waitting for help

 

Hello KIzwan i quoted myself,,,can you help me?

 

request bios mod for 5738G with DSDT patch 10x

 

well mate i'm glad you finally make it but why don't you just try by yourself? There's nothing better then experiment and see the changes.
Meanwhile why don't you read this thread about modding your aspire 6930g for more power?

 

I have Acer Aspire 5536G with AMD Turion X2 RM74(2.2GHz)
Bios link Click Here
My OS is windows 7 x64
I want to unlock all the hidden menus becuase my laptop have a strange problem with games
Some times it works good and randomly it drops frames and games goes very slow and suddenly it speeds up fast.
it is not a GPU problem cuase i have undervolting my cpu and it works good put it gets heated up and some times BSOD

Can u help me????

 

i had the same problem with my laptop but i use game booster 2 which is a freeware, and seems to do the trick, although this is probably due to thermal throttling, monitor your cpu temp while playing games.

 

my temp. for my cpu goes so high it goes to 95c this laptop drives my crazy

thanks Ared21 for reply

 

you could try to set the cooling fan on high using 1810tray during gameplay. heres the thread:
1810tray. but this could shorten your fans life.
btw did you try game booster 2?

Hi guys,

For those who have problem "trusting" their modified BIOS image, please rebuild the modified BIOS image three to four time. Compared with each modified BIOS image. If all modified BIOS image is identical, it means it is successful.

Always examined the modified BIOS image with HEX editor. If at the beginning of the file start with 0xFF (a lot of them), the BIOS image might be buggy & it can bricked the notebook if you flashed it. Look at this case (post #213) for example.

It is normal for PBE to renamed the ROMs file to another name. When you modified even one file, the checksum will be different than the original. Because of this when repacking to BIOS image, it won't fit to it's original offset. When PBE rebuild the modified BIOS image, it will repack & compress all of the files to generate BIOS image. As I said in the manual, size is important. To maintain the original size, PBE will make several adjustment to the file(s) in the modified BIOS image.

There is another tool called Phoenix SLIC Tool at mydigitallife forum that can repack the modified BIOS image without changing any other files except the one we modified. Unfortunately, because of our mod use a lot of "space", most BIOS will unable to rebuild successfully using this tool. When we use two bytes (00 00) to unlocked hidden menu, to fit the file (in this case TEMPLAT0.ROM file) in it's original offset when repacking, the tool will need to change unused space (two bytes to be exact) to 0x00. I will not touch too deep about this tool. You will need to visit their forum for more information.

Good luck.

(P/S: Please follow forum rules when posting in this forum, for example no big picture embedded in the post. Use link instead. Do not use foul language in your post. It won't be tolerated.)

EDIT: I'm on holiday right now. So I'm not able to process any request right now. Also, please specify your specific request, such as Virtualization, SpeedStep, etc. Request like "please unlock all..." is not very easy to do. Please refer the manual (available at first post) to learn on how to locate hidden menu. You should know what are you asking for. For example, you should know what VT is for.

 

hey, thanks for your input, kizwan. so are you saying that long as the bios is built properly, the renaming of modules is no problem??? if there are no errors in the log file, can i go ahead with updating it with the modified bios??

thanks again.

 

PBE renaming the module is no problem. Successful build doesn't mean the BIOS image is 100% OK. If you take all precautions I mention earlier, it should be OK but if I were you, before proceed, I will make sure my computer can recover bad BIOS with CRISIS disk. We don't want ended up with expensive paperweight, do we?

 

will definately carry out the precautions you mentioned, my laptop can be recovered from a bad flash using a usb floppy drive according the service manual, but now ive got to find a floppy drive?!?!:s lol.

will post results and link to bios if it works.

thanks alots kizwan.

cheers

 

Kizwan can you make me BIOS for 5738G based on v1.28 with DSDT patch? i dont need any other option.

 

Can you please help me Kizwan with a moded Acer aspire 5050 enabling SATA AHCI menu?
Best regards !

Here is the link to the original BIOS if needed:
BIOS_3315.zip

 

UPDATE:
My bios MOD works!! for Acer 6530G, but i am looking to downgrade my bios due to the older one having more options available.
if anyone has a acer 6530g with a x64 OS with bios Version v3216 please could you tell me, as i dont know if that bios version will work with x64 OSes.

 

Please visit this thread:-
[Guida] Snow Leopard su Acer Aspire family (6930G-6935G-8930G ecc. )
Translated to English:- [Guida] Snow Leopard su Acer Aspire family (6930G-6935G-8930G ecc. )

 

Please visit this thread:-
Installed Snow Leopard Universal v3.6
Your notebook have Intel 4500MHD which is not fully supported. I believe this is why sleep doesn't work.

 

May I know why you want to patch your DSDT? Which part you want to patch?

 

Hi Pete,

Sorry for late reply. I already take a look your modified BIOS image. I noticed you use my first modified BIOS image for Aspire 5738G as a template/base. When comparing both modified BIOS image, I found that a lot of option rom different than original. OPROM0A.ROM, OPROM0B.ROM, OPROM06.ROM, OPROM07.ROM, OPROM08.ROM & OPROM09.ROM file is different compared to the original file. If you only modified OPROM06.ROM file to overclock your HD5650, only this file should be different than the original one. Please rebuild back the BIOS image (I recommend using my R2 BIOS image as a template/base) with your modified OPROM06.ROM file. Please rebuild three to four time (from scratch - just replace OPROM06.ROM file), compare every each modified BIOS images. If all of them identical, you got yourself successful build of BIOS image. Good luck.

 

I'm unable to open it using PBE (ROMEXEC not available! error message) but I'm able to decompress the BIOS image using Phoenix SLIC Tool. Unfortunately, I found that your BIOS doesn't support SATA AHCI mode.

 

I need DSDT for Snow Leopard for more correctly working notebook with this operating system

 

I need more information. If it have ATI Mobility Radeon, it is not supported. If it have Nvidia graphic card, I need video BIOS dump to obtain necessary information. I also need you to find where the graphic card is connected to (parent device). Also need the hardware IDs, address, parent & complete graphic card name obtain from Device Manager. Same goes to parent device.

 

I run now Snow Leopard and i have problems only with ONE USB and it runs only with one command in Chameleon bootloader (USBBusFix=y) also Sleep is not working this are my problems my video is working properly and is detected properly . G105 M
