I succesfully updated the Phoenix BIOS, with the SIS VBIOS version 2.49. My Acer Aspire 3000 (3003LM) now display native 1440 x 900 resolution on attached widescreen Samsung SyncMaster 920NW.

Thanks,

Jardes69 had an issue whereas his LCD did not work on his laptop. YZ, did you have the same issue before the bios flash? If it worked before the bios flash does it work now that you've flashed the bios?

If I am to understand correctly, the only way to get the laptop to display a higher resolution on the external port, is to install the hacked Phoenix Bios for the ASUS laptops? Is there any other benefits to this bios?

Hi Frapster,

I had a broken laptop LCD and after updating the BIOS, the LCD stopped working at all, while my external LCD started working at full resolution. I know of no way to enable both LCDs and the full resolution is the only benefit of that update.

Cheers,

The limitation of this way of patching is indeed that you can only use an external display. Please read the sticky post about this. It's there for a reason!

Thanks for your reply as well. I just wanted to let you know that I did read the sticky, and the entire post here. I seen that it was custom made ROM and didn't know if the same effects would apply, whereas my post with my questions.
