News of BIOS Utilities & Flash Programs

HI

I have a notebook HP Pavilion dv6-6118sl (QC779EA) with Intel Core 5 2410M and AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics card (1 GB GDDR5 dedicated). Its BIOS is a InsydeH20 Setup Utility Rev 3.5.

Unfortunately, the diagnostic hidden partition no longer exists.

So, now, how do I update the BIOS?

THANKS

BYE

Hi All,

I need to extract a live version of my BIOS to compare with a version taken from a BIOS programmer for the same chip ...

I need to prove that the machine changes values within the BIOS code once the machine is running and comunicating with other hardware...

Does anyone know of an academic article / journal that would support this theory?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Hi !

Heya!

I'm looking for this tool that lets you patch AWD BIOSes with 64GB bug. Rainbow software doesn't have this tool (I tried the archived versions of the website too!) even though it seems that rainbow created it.

EDIT: Oh sorry. I thought it was a publically released program.

Any other way to mod bioses? I'd really love to. Particularily the Iwill P55XU / P55XUW

Cheers!

I want to flash bios on my m/b Gigabyte GA-8SIMLH-P (Rev. 3.2) to support 1440*900 resolution. The videobios version less 2.8 and SiS says to update it to new version. Gigabyte hasn't new suitable version on it's site for my m/b. The "patched" version I found here.
I looked autoexec.bat downloaded jointly flasher (FLASH893.EXE) and bios data file. There are no options set in calling FLASH893.EXE in autoexec.bat.
Does it signify that the default options ...

Hi

A question: What tools would I need to edit a Award Mediallon v6.0 bios file? Because I've tried to load the bios file for an Asus p4sp-mx motherboard with modbin6, but it shows the following message: "Bios version not 6.0". And I've tried several versions of modbin6 without success! (and with cbrom I've got the same result as well). Also, I've used Award Bios Editor to open this file and it shows this message: ...
