[REQUEST] Acer Aspire E5-571(G) BIOS unlock

[xFortManx]

Hi ,
I have been trying to find a solution . I just got this new laptop and I wanted to use emulator which needs to enable the VT-x but I just couldn't find it in the Bios , it is not there . i5-4210U supports VT-x but how could I use it if I can't enable it ? Can anybody help me ?
I linked the update that I used to fix this problem , but the bios hasn't changed .
v1.24.

Hello ,
Thank you for helping and the results are there .

Ok friend,
these are locks :

014A7 : 0F 84 D5 00 00 00 to 0F 84 00 00 00 00 jz loc_180001582 to jz $+6  ; Power
014DB : 0F 84 A1 00 00 00 to 0F 84 00 00 00 00 jz loc_180001582 to jz $+6  ; Advanced

But your Eeprom is Write Protect (error 280 !!!) so only using an HW SPI PGM You can
re-write your Bios Mod !
Look here :

Actualy We cannot resign Bios not Original to reflash as normal !
If do you want to buy ot get SPIPGM I can help to do this job !
Let me know

Thank you for everything my brother but I'll probably take it back to the acer shop and ask them like what to do , because I have 24 months guarantee on it and hopefully they will solve the problem since my processor supports VT-x and it dosen't make any sense to hide this option away from me , because I only want to use it for emulators to create programs .
Thank you for everything again !
Best regards!

Hi, I would like help unlocking the Advanced and Power tabs in my Acer Aspire BIOS. I wanted to try to do it myself but I wasn't able to find the jump points using IDA. Using Andy's tool I was able to find the tabs in SetupUtility GUID 'FE3542FE-C1D3-4EF8-657C-8048606FF670_1490' and donovan6000's Universal IFR Extractor found the tab locations. After messing around for a few hours I figured it's time to get help from the pros. I have a HW SPI Programmer if needed.

Laptop: Acer Aspire E15 E5-571P-59QA

Hello

Could someone unlock my UEFI-BIOS, I need VT-X for a Virtual Machine, but there is no option to activate it in the BIOS and it's deactivated by default. My CPU supports VT-X, I have a Intel i5 4210U in my Laptop.

This is the link to the BIOS which I hope to get unlocked for activating the VT-x feature. http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/...&SC=EMEA_5


Thank you.

My laptop supports vt-x but it is disabled and through acer's infinite wisdom they disabled the bios settings to enable it. Please help

here is the link to my BIOS

Hello, friend!
How did you have known about vt-x supporting?
I found two VT options in your Bios only.It are Intel (VMX) Virtualization Technology (as default enabled) and vt-d (as default enabled).The vendor not added vt-x supporting in this laptop may be.
I cannot find VT-x option in your Bios.
