ACER T300: Need patch to run on 1680 x 1050 resolution
Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2008 10:45 am
Hi CP (and others),
Just got a 20inch Dell monitor yesterday and found this morning that I cannot run it under 1680x1050 resolution. Below are my specs:
Compter: ACER T300
Mainboard Manufacturer: ACER
MAINBOARD: ACER L4S5MG/651+
BIOS ID: SiS-651-6A6IXDDDC-00
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies
CHIPSET: SiS 651
Physical memory: 1280 MB DDR SDRAM
The product information in the BIOS says:
MAINBOARD ID: L4S5MG/651+
System Bios version: V6.0
SMBIOS version: 2.3
System BIOS ID: R01-C1
The adapter information on Display Properties/Advanced/Adapter shows:
Chip Type: SiS 651
DAC Type: Internal
Memory size: 32Mb
Adapter string: Mirage
Bios Information: 1.12.4
I have SiS UniVGA3 ("uvga3_373") installed and the latest monitor inf too. Although I can see 1680x1050 resolution in the screen resolution window of Display Properties, when I set the monitor to that, I get a blank screen. It goes upto 1280x1024 with no problems.
I have searched the forums and have found that many people have received a patched Bios file from you (CP) and am wondering if you or anyone can assist me please.
Previously there was a direct link to the BIOS update (Acer Australia) and it was in an exe format which required a floppy and it would extract to the floppy. The file after extraction was called "R01-C1.bin". Its no longer on ACER Australia website, although I have a copy of it saved in my archives. Initially I thought I might send you this to patch, but then realised that you don't know me and hence may not trust the exe, so I searched ACER's Euro website and they have a copy of this "R01-C1.bin" . The link is ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/desktop/as ... _r01c1.zip
I did a comparison of the "R01-C1.bin" with the one I had and the one in the zip file obtained from the above website and they have the same md5, so if you can patch that and send me the file, I would so much appreciate. I noticed that on http://www.wimsbios.com/files/vgabiospatched/bios.jsp there is a file called "ECS L4S5MG/651+ v3.02 ", I am guessing mine is slightly different as nowhere on mysystem does it say ECS, instead it says ACER L4S5MG/651+. Eagerly awaiting your assistance.
