    Can my Laptop bios me modded.
    What i would really like, is the option for Graphics Switching. The laptop has a HD4200m and HD5650m. I would like to turn off the 4200m, from the bios.

    That's if there is any hidden menu that even exist... :confused:
    Can the BIOS be unlocked.. :cool:
    If yes can someone point me in the correct direction. :D

    BIOS HERE

    I need some information:
    • What kind of BIOS is it? BIOS/EFI/UEFI
    • Wich company did produce this BIOS? Phoenix/Award/AMI/InsydeH20
    • Have you done a BIOS Dump with the Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit? Link?

    Some information for you:
    • Are you aware that TOSHIBA IS NOT REPAIRING YOUR DEVICE IF A BAD FLASH HAPPENS?

    Thanks alxlbf2 for your response..

    Is it even possible? I am aware of the cons of doing this, but i was of the opinion that its a fairly easy process(if you know what you're doing) with less risk.

    I only can mod InsydeH20 BIOS´s but not AMI. Take a look into the mdl forum . There are also AMI-BIOS modders.
