BenQ Joybook S31V BIOS unlock

[Romualds]

I would like to unlock hidden features of my Benq laptop. Firstly, I hope that it is possible to activate AHCI mode for SATA controller.The chipset supports it.

System: BenQ Joybook S32V, Rev 1.0
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies LTD, version 1.05, date 07/16/07
BIOS download link: www.benq.co.in/support/downloads

Thank you in advance!

The bios can`t be extracted from the exe to modify it .
I`m sorry for this .

Here is the backup of my current BIOS. Hope it will help.

Thank you!

Backup can't be flashed after modified , sothat it will be useless for you after its modified .
The exe extracts the bios files in a temp folder then flash it ,,,,, you can get the bios from the temp folder and upload it .
for me , the exe didn't extract the files as it checked that my notebook is different .

Thank you,
Ahmed

Thank you for a prompt replay!

It is strange that it is impossible to reflash BIOS from a backup. What is a reason for BACKUP, if it is not usable?

I tried to run setup utility. It created two folders under %temp% but nothing looked like BIOS file. I attached the filelists for both folders to see if there is anything usable. If so, the files itself are there:

Files listed in filelist1.txt
Files listed in filelist2.txt

Thank you again for your support!

Nothing of these files are for the bios .
I`m sorry i cant extract it to modify .
