@Lukasz33:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
Since your help request is rather specific and has not much to do with the topic of >this< thread, I have moved your post into a new thread and gave it a hopefully meaningful title (if you want to change it, you can do it by editing your start post).

As you certainly know, the BIOS modding resp. the flashing of a modded BIOS into a Mobile System is not easy and very risky. I personally cannot help you, because I am not an expert regarding this kind of BIOS modding, but I hope, that you will get support by someone else.
Just for your information: We do not modify any BIOS upon request. We are offering some guides and help, but the work itself has to be done by the users.

Good luck!
Regards
Dieter (alias Fernando)

Thanks Fernando for made this new Thread!

And Hello @Genius2239 !
I tried your mods but unfortunately they didnt work :S i got this Message:

After it i tried to flash the Orginal Bios, there was no problem.
For flashing I always edit the Bioscheck.bin a versionsnumber higher, so the OrginalBios get accepted. I think that is the right step or?

Hey Genius239! I tried to flash your mods again but it doesn't work! :S
So i mod the microcodes by UEFI TOOL myself and tried it again, but without success.
So the Flash Programm don't let me flash the Modded.ROM...

Try dumping and flashing the BIOS via Flash Programming Tool v6 (not IGN) instead with commands "fptw -d bios.bin -bios" and "fptw -f bios_mod.bin -bios" respectively.

OK Guys for all of you, when you want to upgrade you CPU you have to watch which is stepping the new processor have, because it must be the same as your old one! So I3 330m can't support I7 640m, the highest possible is I7 620m.
But thanks for you help, with the microcode!
Bye Guys!
