thank you

[BDMaster]

Ok I wil check and reply !

Here :

0xFBE7 Suppress If: {0A 03 00}
0xFBEA Variable 0xA[1] equals value in list (0x0, 0x1) {14 0B 0A 00 01 02 00 00 00 01 00}
0xFBF5 Setting: Base I/O Address, Variable: 0xB[1] {05 09 0B 00 01 7B 00 14 00}
0xFBFE Option: 2E8, Value: 0x0 {09 09 7F 00 00 00 04 3D 00}
0xFC07 Option: 2F8, Value: 0x1 {09 09 7D 00 01 00 04 3D 00}
0xFC10 Option: 3E8, Value: 0x2 {09 09 7E 00 02 00 04 3D 00}
0xFC19 Option: 3F8, Value: 0x3 {09 09 7C 00 03 00 05 3D 00}
0xFC22 End of Options {10 02}
0xFC24 Setting: Interrupt, Variable: 0xC[1] {05 09 0C 00 01 80 00 14 00}
0xFC2D Option: IRQ3, Value: 0x3 {09 09 6C 00 03 00 04 3D 00}
0xFC36 Option: IRQ4, Value: 0x4 {09 09 6D 00 04 00 05 3D 00}
0xFC3F End of Options {10 02}
0xFC41 End If0xFC41 End If {18 02}

Has to be :

0xFBEA Variable 0xA[1] equals value in list (0x0, 0x1) {14 0B 0A 00 01 02 00 FF 00 FE 00}

Then here :

0xFC98 Variable 0xF[1] equals 0x0 {12 07 0F 00 01 00 00}

Has to be :

0xFC98 Variable 0xF[1] equals 0x0 {12 07 0F 00 01 FF 00}

So your job is not completed !
Do again and then You have to modify the .ROM Module using an HexEdittor !
So You can see how many work is into this mod !

Hi BDMaster,
These are the ones that I don't want to show because I don't think I need these or do you think I should show these ??

[BDMaster]

Show all as It will be useful for next user who wnat same mod !
When You find all modifies then You have to make into Module .rom and
then I will compare with original and at end I wilol prepare the Bios Mod !

Hi BDMaster, please can you check this?

How do i modify the ROM after this please can you explain?

[BDMaster]

Ok go here :

http://mh-nexus.de/en/

Download the HexEditor and load into It the Setuputility Module . . . 670.ROM
Then You have to locate the offset where to go to change the value so e.g.

0xFBEA Variable 0xA[1] equals value in list (0x0, 0x1) {14 0B 0A 00 01 02 00 FF 00 FE 00}

We have to change 0xFFh and 0xFEh (this is the notation) into that string so the offset is
0xFBEAh and the position of these two bytes is 0xFBEAh + 0x7h = 0xFBF12h

------0xFBEA EB EC ED EE EF F0 F1 ---------- Offset Address
0xFBEAh 14 0B 0A 00 01 02 00 FF 00 FE 00 String
------------00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 ----------- Offset Position

So You have to go (CTRL + G) at offset 0xFBF12h and modify the value You see that's
cange 0x01h to 0xFFh !
it's easy ! Then You upload the file for me and I will check It !
Regards
It seems all ok so prepare the File .ROM for me !

Hi Bd MAster ,
Sorry about the late reply, i dont quite understand how to mod the .ROM when i put the file into hex edit, i get the 0 1 combo but then how do i relate this to the strings which need changing would you be able to explain in a dumb down way lol

Also am i right in saying that the setup rom for mine is the 676.ROM file which you sent?

thank you

[BDMaster]

It's not an issue the checksum into Module name . . .

FE3542FE-C1D3-4EF8-657C-8048606FF670_676.ROM is your and

FE3542FE-C1D3-4EF8-657C-8048606FF670_670.ROM is mine and They are the same !!!

All after underscore is PMT259 interla use to identify Modules and Andy used a Checksum
It will change on every pc or configuration, so doesn't matter !
Just look for the right offsets !
It's only a counting question :

If Starting Offset String is e.g. 0x00100 and our byte to change is 5 bytes after It
We will get 0x00100 + 0x05 = 0x00105 !!!

In this case :

0xFBEA Variable 0xA[1] equals value in list (0x0, 0x1) {14 0B 0A 00 01 02 00 FF 00 FE 00}
the String is {14 0B 0A 00 01 02 00 FF 00 FE 00} and the bytes to change are at 7 and 9

14 0B 0A 00 01 02 00 FF 00 FE 00
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A = Offset Position in hex notation

So You have to count . . . first is 0xFBEA = 00 position then

0xFBEA EB EC ED EE EF F0 F1 F2 F3 F4 You get 0xFBF2 and 0xFBF4 address offsets
0xFBEA 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 Position
0xFBEA 14 0B 0A 00 01 02 00 FF 00 FE String

I don't know to do better

Dear Brijesh and BDMaster:

I own a VAIO Z790D, and the BIOS is Insyde R4044M3 as well. I wish to unlock the graphic card option. Do you have any progress on the modification?

Best Regards,
