I have read the guide about how to update sis650 video bios to support 1440x900 on Wimsbios.
The vbios embedded in the latest bios I got from ECS is ver. 1.01.00 (size 48K). But the new bios is ver. 2.30.01 (size 32K).
On the forum, I saw someone complained that the machine cannot boot up when changing 48K vbios to 32K. And he use a special cbrom for Asus to solve it.
But in my case I cound not use this Asus cbrom.
Is there any way to build a correct patched BIOS for L4S5MG/GL.

Here is the link to get the lastest bios from ECS

the download link isn't working. can you please post the BIOS string as there are ~10 different L4S5MG mainboard variants. and please post the silkscreened model and pcb version, too. you can find them on the mainboard.
If you email me include [WIMSBIOS] in the subject.

The link works at my side. Try this one:

I don't known its bios string exactly. The mainboard model is L4S5MG/GL Rev 1.0. From ECS's website, it seems L4S5MG/GL uses the same bios as L4S5MG.
I saw a patched bios for L4S5MG/651+ in the download page, but since bios for L4S5MG and L4S5MG/651+ are different, so I'm afraid this patched bios may not work on my board .

link is working fine now. it's the same file i already found myself yesterday. but then i wasn't sure if it's the correct one for your mainboard. i'll patch it and upload it to our site asap.
