    Did you fix it?
    I could reprogram your Bios if still needed, you just need to ship it to Bavaria :)

    So I see you pull the T1125 Bios...Any word on pulling gpu BIOS from it? I know u guys are working on the sony. I would though like to increase gpu voltage and possibly ram up the cpu clock. It runs overclocked already Gigabyte set a 33.33% overclock from factory 1.33ghz to 1.8ghz. I modded the cooling so under full gaming load cpu/gpu hit 70C or so max. Giving me a 15C overhead for 2ghz on the i3 and possibly more than 1.000v on the GT 310m...If you can help I'd be eternally greatful!

    Thanks

    Typical - I've been waiting ages to do this hack for a disabled friend of mine's Z2 once the SSD prices drop and now it's been pulled. If anyone can help I'd appreciate a PM or email!

    If you can't find an easier solution, maybe you can disconnect the BIOS battery for a few minutes so it resets to default.
