Laptop BIOS question (mod)

(Hi I've moved this and rephrased it in another forum, please ignore the post below)

Hi. The reason I post in this forum is because when I searched for BIOS modding posts most were in the Acer forum. I have a fujitsu amilo 3560 with a PM45 chipset and Phoenix Securecore BIOS. I decided to buy a quad core processor to see if it would work but it does not, yet (the laptop fires up but the display does not come on). I figure that because the chipset supports the quad core I bought it can only be not working because A: my ram is 800mhz and the cpu runs on an fsb of 1066 or B: there is something in the BIOS that prevents it from loading unless a set of specific CPUs is installed (I know that quad core was not an option with this laptop, but it has 4 dual core options on the data-sheet). I discount "A" because I guess the CPU fsb and ram bus can run indepenently. So I downloaded the Phoenix BIOS editor 2.2.1.3 and loaded the latest .wph bios file from the Fujitsu web-site; it loaded my BIOS file but with errors (unsupported modules). On checking through the modules that did load, I can't find a list of supported CPU's, the only thing slightly intersesting to me was an empty "folder" called "CPU Update". Can someone in the know help me to find some software that I may change the list of supported CPUs? (maybe there is something else that might prevent a certain CPU working on my laptop that someone knows about and they could tell me too). Or someone could help me find a later version of the Phoenix BIOS editor that I have that will fully open my BIOS?. Thanks guys!

Check to see if you have a BIOS update for your laptop to see if your quad-core processor is now supported. If not, then you cannot do anything about it.

Don't mess with the BIOS if you don't know what you are doing. You'll just brick your laptop.

 

Knowing that mb makers sometimes release bios updates with more cpu support and having read threads on this forum where ive seen people making sophisticated bios mods and, having seen other bios editors that at least read a rom and then list supported cpus, im hoping that some of the guys that post in the bios modding threads see this and have some other help. Thanks for the reply aylafan.
