    Can somebody be so kind and make a backup of their BIOS and send it to me. You can do it as follows:


    1)
    Download the "Phoenix Winpflash Utility"
    ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/utilities/winphlash/winphlash-utility.zip

    After this, install and run the "Phoenix Winpflash Utility".

    2)
    Choose: "Backup BIOS only"

    3)
    It sounds weird and crazy, but take any PhoenixBIOS update,
    for example from acer:
    ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/extensa_3000/bios/3a06_intel.zip
    You can also take any other (256K/512K/1024K) Phoenix BIOS updates.

    4)
    Extract and add the .wph file from the mentioned
    example BIOS file: 3a06_intel.zip to the: "Specify new BIOS file" -field
    and choose: "Advanced settings".

    5)
    Then deselect all clickboxes and press Ok.

    6)
    Now press: "Backup BIOS"

    7)
    Accept the following message/ info dialog box...:
    ...and go on with backup your BIOS.

    8)
    When backup process is finished, you sould see the BIOS dump and please upload it somewhere or email it to me irw(at)starline.ee

    Thank you.

    I just created one. How good are you at modding Phoenix BIOS'es because I need something done to it? Thanks in advance.
