Hi,

Can I please request a mod to unlock all possible options for an Acer Aspire A515-52?

Link to official download: https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles...ER&SC=PA_6

Pictures of all available settings attached. All settings in the Security sections are locked down.
The Secure boot option in the Boot section is also locked.

Already have a CH341 programmer + SOIC8 clip


Thank you

Hello, I'm using the Acer Aspire 5 A515-52G-593E, which is the MX250 equipped version of the A515-52G. The CPU and GPU performance of my laptop was not good than I expected. After monitoring the system, I found that a throttling starts at 70°C.

To extract the BIOS, I downloaded and unzipped the latest BIOS exe file provided by Acer. This is the link to the Google drive in the uncompressed exe file.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...sp=sharing

At the top of the files, there's a bin file that looks like a source of BIOS. I don't know exactly if it is a BIOS, but I'm sure it is. Could anyone mod this BIOS for the solution of throttling?

I don't know anything about BIOS modding, and I found out this community today during googling. If there are any regulations that I have not followed in writing, please send me a DM so I can know. Thank you.

Hello everyone!
I am using an Acer Aspire 5 A515-52G-7403 that has an Intel Wireless-AC 9560 module. Recently, I have installed a Killer Networking module AX1650 model that is based on the new Intel
Wi-Fi 6 AX200NGW. The new Wi-Fi 6 works great and connects to my ASUS RT-AX88U router at the speed of 2.4 Gbps, instead the Bluetooth isn't detected from Device Manager.
What could it be? A lock of my Acer BIOS or something else?
Can I also request a mod to unlock all possible options for my Acer Aspire 5 A515-52G-7403, kindly? Link to official download version 1.14, because this version would seem more stable: https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles...SC=EMEA_17
Even I don't know anything about BIOS modding!! If there are any regulations that I haven't followed previously, please send me a PM so I can know.
Thanks in advance!

Hi!

I recently dumped my bios which I will attach. Could someone help me by pointing me to comprehensive bios modding tutorial for Isyde bioses. I prefer to mod it myself and experiment with increasing TDP limit, overclocking RAM, tweaking turbo boost parameters and termal fan speed tables. Also does somebody know which of these things are possible? Now I can only undervolt my CPU.

Big thanks to Dudu2002 - my bios is now unlocked with thousands of options to tweak.

Hello again!

I have fiddled around with my unlocked bios - (EDIT - I removed the link because there were concerns that someone would use the binaries and brick their laptop - PM me for details) (please do not flash it on your device because as I know - it will brick the machine!)

The problem is that TDP at first looks configurable but there is hard cap of 15W for non turbo TDP. I have applied liquid metal to my machine just now and I have headroom to increase it(not sure if VRMs won't overheat but I'm willing to take the risk)

Could someone help me to lift that cap of 15W(I would want to bump it to 25-30W). I tried to fiddle around with the binaries and isydeH20 tool to find that cap but I couldn't.

Edit - here's an example of what I want to "fix" - https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threa...ng.268072/

Hello!

I need some help with my Acer laptop. I mainly use it for gaming but its performance is bad, even when setting its TDP to 25W with ThrottleStop (max value according to official Intel website - Intel website (US)).
I tried undervolting it to see if it helped, but the difference was minimal.
The only items in the BIOS' "Advanced" tab are Intel VT-X and VT-D options. Both are disabled because I don't use VMs.

Laptop info:
- Intel I5-8265U
- 32GB DDR4 SODIMM RAM
- GeForce MX130 (produces artifacts - currently disabled)
- Insyde BIOS v1.16

BIOS download link: Insyde v1.16 (Acer website mirror)

The .bin file I managed to pull from the EXE file: Google Drive

Any help or guidance will be extremely appreciated!
