Thank you for your fast reply. I am assuming they are Hex codes that need altering. I have never Modded a BIOS before. I ran the backup program and it opened a dos box and unexpectedly shut. no results from that....

What is the first step?

Ok so i used universdal bios back up and managed to output a rom file...

if i open that with a hex editor and substitute it with the settings above then all i have to do is repackage and re flash correct?

Hey friend,
your Bios is Capsulated and Signed so It's not reflashable directly as You think !
I asked to use that tool as into there are many checks about your Eeprom Chip
Status !
We can see by It if We can use Intel FPT to rewrite your Bios Mod and if It's
possible or not !
I will upload your Bios Mod Generalized, but You cannot do anything with It !
You laptop has an Intel CPU ? if not We can rewrite your Bios Mod only using
an HW PI Programmer, so let me know !
Be quite please as I am here to help You, but I have to get the right infos
to serve You.
let me know
Regards

I don't know if FPT works so I prepared a Generalizd version and if do You want to try You
have to follow instructions file :
