    Hi,

    I would like to have the BIOS unlocked at least with UEFI boot option.

    I have extracted original bios in a file (BIOS.ROM) and could open it with Aptio tool AMIBCP 4.53. Succeeded to enable UEFI on/off setting and flash modified ROM. UEFI setting is now shown in Bios Utility after startup, but doesn't seem to work.

    Is there anything I miss? Or can't UEFI be enabled on this machine? Would really appreciate a pro here having a look and confirm / modify if possible or not. Unfortunately I could not upload the Bios.rom as file size exceeded (zipped still below 1MB anyway). Any help is truely appreciated.

    Best regards,
    4FF
