Unfortunatley there's no sure fire way to unlock the hidden tabs. Here's a tutorial on how I did it with my bios, just don't assume that your's are hidden in the same way

So far I've seen three different ways that form sets are hidden:
1. By skipping their initialization with a conditional jump.
2. By removing their initialization after comparing their form title's string ID to a known value.
3. Using a suppress IFR command to hide the tab.

There's probably several more ways that I haven't seen yet. Good luck

Eh. Im green. ;/ I think I cant make this. Can you make this for me? I'll donate you for help. Please i really need this.

Lol best reaction ever

I love the requests that offer a donation. Unfortunatley I've got work in a couple minutes and have a ton of homework to do tonight. Not much free time latley, but I'll try to get it done sometime later tomarrow. Can you hold on till then

[sonicr]

Okay. But nothing will broke ? BIOS or something? I wont pay for repair BIOS. ;P

[donovan6000]

Lol there's always some risk involved. So there was no obvious way of how your bios are hiding its 3 hidden tabs, so I just replaced the Diagnostics one with the Advanced one. There's still hidden Debug and Power tabs, but you never asked for them so I left them hidden

So by choosing to flash these bios, your also accepting the risk that you could permanently damage your computer's hardware. You'll be the only one held responsible incase anything goes wrong. If you still want to continue, then you can get the modded bios here

If something did wrong, can I use any BIOS recovery or something ? And tell me how I must do with this file? xD How to flas bios

[donovan6000]

Most of the time you can recover from a bad flash, but there is still a small chance that something worse could happen that you can't recover from.

Just run the InsydeFlash.exe or InsydeFlash64.exe executable depending on the architecture of your operating system.

After flash i can't boot from USB . whats wrong dude? i must boot usb.

[donovan6000]

Did it successfully swap the Diagnostics tabs with the Advanced one?

Not sure why you can't boot from a flash drive now? What happens when you attempt to do it through the boot menu? (You can get there by pressing something like F9 when your computer starts)
