[SOLVED] DELL Latitude E4200 SLIC 2.1

[archangel2]

Well, I fixed this problem(?) by myself.

Indeed DELL E4200's bios has a legitimate SLIC 2.1 table already in there, but somehow it does NOT work.
I googled for another 2 hours, and finally got answer from u-2-bu (you know what I mean), under 'unlock dell' title.

All I needed to do was delete and re-insert same 'SERVICE TAG' via DELL BIOS RESET disc (finding it was very hard).

I don't know why, but if somehow bios's service tag was corrupted or broken, SLIC 2.1 table simply disappeares from ACPI table. So after I re-insert same service tag number into the system, SLIC 2.1 table reappeared magically!

So that's why there's no E4200 SLIC 2.1 modded bios file on the net, since original DELL file already has it in it.

That'll be all folks, and have a nice one!

[ORIGINAL POST]

Hello there!

I'm looking for DELL E4200's SLIC 2.1 modded bios.

-Manufacturer: DELL
-Motherboard Model: Latitude E4200
-Bios revision: A24
-Bios Type: Phoenix BIOS
-Bios Download Link: http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER01530523...200A24.exe
-RW-report: https://app.box.com/s/ijg92qorsldqbxp4qbbr5dz1v22g61yw



I tried to do this by myself with phoenixtool260, but it didn't work.

Detailed how it didn't work:
- DELL's original bios file seemed to have SLIC 2.1 already in it, but re-flashing it didn't work.
- phoenixtool260 FAILED to modify bios with SSV2 method (as RW-report directs)
-> Cannot replaec MCFG offset if XSDT table present.
- phoenixtool260's Dynamic mod seemed succeeded, but modified BIOS HDR file does not give me SLIC 2.1 table.
-> I flashed bios with ubuntu linux's dellBiosUpdate tool.

- I even tried to mod old bios version A22, but SLIC 2.1 is not present.
-> I post result SLIC_Toolkit_V3.2 screen capture.

So, I'm stuck and out of option.

Could somebody help me?
Thank you very much.
