[REQUEST] Samsung NP900X3C i7 3517U AES-NI enablement

[danielbodart]

Hi there,

I found this previous thread but they never posted the modified BIOS link for the P11ABK_AES.cap for me to try.

Using this Samsung service I can see I am using the latest firmware P11ABK. (I've attached the extracted file)

I have a very similar model (NP900X3C) and have been able to get into the hidden Intel BIOS menu using the Ctrl + Alt + Shift F4.

I have been able to disable RTC Lock and SMM Lock in the hope that might allow writing a non signed BIOS. (Does prr2 uses this?)

If disabling those locks doesn't help then I also have a hardware programmer but need to un-soider the chip as doing it in place isn't working.

So I'm hoping someone might either have a copy of P11ABK_AES.cap, or can recreate it and knows if disabling the locks actually helps before I go to the next stage of removing the chip.

Many thanks

Dan
