    Thanks for the link.
    I already tried A11 unlocked, but it did not work out.
    Just tried A05 unlocked, no way - setting is still greyed out.

    So did some more research and it might not be a CPU thing, but may be its a
    thing of the chipset.

    The production date of the CPU should be "old enough", but the chipset - from CPU-Z -
    Ivy Bridge - Rev 06
    Southbridge - Rev 04

    Could that be the key?
