@mikolaj612 - Sorry, did I miss something, or forget?? Sorry if I forgot What unlock did you need, and why was I waiting etc? What page were we last talking here, so I can look back and see what's going on?
I see I have a folder for you with a BIOS region dump, and a modified BIOS region made on Dec 22, but not sure what we were doing, or why there was a pause etc.

* Edit - I looked back, and see at post 131 I sent you unlocked BIOS.
If you are wanting me to see if still any settings are missing, you have to give me images of your BIOS, every single page, every single submenu, every setting you see (scroll up/down as needed)

@mikolaj612 - No, at post #131 that's BIOS region only, does not contain ME FW at all, nor would you touch ME FW when you flash it back because you will flash BIOS region only via FPTw.exe -bios -f filename.bin
So, ME FW would remain exactly as you have it now. No need for me to edit the above file, unless you think there is something wrong with the BIOS region you send me that I used to create BIOS at post #131?

@ Lost thanks for the update :)

Iam an ethical hacker so i dont care that " the equation group" can acces my laptop not a black hat :)

btw this morning (iam typping from my very efficent i3 laptop right now) something bad hapenned :p)

I start the acer one, and find the main laptop is doing a full reboot loop ... start and stop again and again : no POST

so i have checked the Screen's connector, the ram have dissambled the two sticks try in to star with only one or the other one, have done a CMOS reset, unplugged both battery, Power supply and the cmos battery for 2 hours nothing helped me out ...

Iam very confused seems that the bios is corrupted in some sort ?! Lost could you please the instruction or a guide to do a blind bios recovery with the modded bios you ve made for me ?
Or should i follow the acer's advice and restart with a their recovery solution ?

Thank you in advance ...

@saltinbank did you try to turn the pc off and then press power button for 12 seconds?

Agressive chinese box ....

I think the wallmart pc has PL1 to 80W not possible without it !
they have tweaked the bios for sure and the look at the heatskinks Hyppo they look far superior of ours ones !!!

incredible performance indeed -) with VBIOS mod could be possible to out perform in 3D
But the CPU counterpart go for 3K in cinebench not with the EC limit set by Acer for sure buddy and even with modded bios we are hitting this fucking PL1 wall ...

Yep, PL1 is 70W

Actually this is the reason



Its max power consumption 240W while our is 180W
And our power supply is 180W so we have no any chance to pull 60W more

I hope you will recover your pc

you could try to buy a 240W power supply and try to take its bios for modding and try we should have bought this one instead of the acer :) but no wallmart in my country ;) and toll taxes are so high from USA to France ...

If nothing helps, you can buy SPI programmer and flash my dump directly to the chip

But then please make sure to flash your own on top using FPPT coz I wouldn’t like that some ethical hackers fly around with my mac addresses and guids

Software and hardware are two separe world buddy iam good in software i not in hardware that's a fact :)

And guess what i can penetrate in all the systeme i want with my own tools ...

And it's my first laptop always had pc tower ! my last pc was a corequad Q9550E1 ... long time ago ...

Overclocking, settings in bios have evolved and the therminology with it !

No bios flasher needed at all :)

so to put in a nutshell you make a a fat32 bootable thumbdrive

you extract from the acer bios1.8.EXE file the bios.fd file (using 7+zip or Universal extractor)

Then you download Phonix/Inside tool lauch Phoenixtool.exe you load the .fd file and it will figure out for you if you need to rename the .fd file, if it says yes rename it to BIOS.fd

copy it to usb drive, then you download WinCrisis and extract and copy files : minidos.sys, phlash.exe and bios.wph on usb also

unplugged the power cable and the battery

press 10sec power button

press and hold fn+ esc while pluging the power cable and then press power button while maintaining fn+esc keys

wait 5 sec that the fans are spinning and release the keys

bios recovery starts up and it take 3 minutes to revive your bricked laptop

and will restart boom ! you are back alive laptop !


.... so problem fixed !

I’m afraid you don’t have choice))
And it’s very easy actually but you need to disassemble laptop and remove motherboard
Maybe you can repair by warranty but you removed heatsink

On question Hyppo cuz usb flash didnt work as expected :)

if i buy a spi programmer i can reflash the rom with the bios which was made by Lost right ?

@saltinbank I'm not sure, you can check my dump and yours and compare, at least size must be equal I guess

One question regarding vbios, were you able to flash 90w version? Can you share it?

Done already look my all my previous post ive shared it already but you dont need it acer bios allows 91W with turbo mode enabled...

One more question hyppo can you give thé reference of usb spi programmer and Soic wires you are using need help so many on the market need it to order one asap ?!

@saltinbank Really? Turbo increases graphic TDP from 80 to 90W? That's cool then I can increase frequencies more

You need 2 things they cost around $20
- USB programmer EEPROM 24xx/25xx on CH341A
- Clip CH341A SOP8/SOIC8
