[Solved] APP78-CF (Jesse): error unsupported cpu installed

[kennyreid17]

Buy new computer....

So that's it DeathBringer? You're just going to give up? You can't give up DeathBringer. There has to be a easier way and a possible way to make the 615e compatible with Touchsmart.

DeathBringer? Anybody Else?

I have one idea, but I need a foto with the error on the screen about unsupported CPU (with native BIOS).
And another foto with genius239's BIOS mod.
NB: Update BIOS this method:

Then I tried running the bios exe without extracting it, I went to local/ temp and replaced JES5.12 with your modded JES5.12  and the blue bar did not hang the bios installation succeed.

Ok wait so you want me to take a foto of the error message Unsupported CPU  with native bios and take foto with genius239 bios mod error unsupported cpu message?

[DeathBringer]

Exactly. Please take fotos of full screen in two cases.

Here is a video of the touchsmart unsupported cpu error.

Can't see video - "This video is private." The foto haven't any errors, so useless.
Is it with native BIOS or mod?

Can you press F10 and enter Setup?

Some research results.
1. The string with error about unsupported CPU has id = 6A
2. The function printing strings on the screen has address = 7675 in RUN_CSEG module.
3. The function printing this error has address = 1C92 in HPDBOARD_CSEG module:

Code:

1C92 pushad 1C94 call POST_CSEG:0AB2Eh 1C99 jnb short 1CB2h 1C9B call POST_CSEG:4986h 1CA0 call RUN_CSEG:76A9h 1CA5 mov bx, 6Ah 1CA8 call RUN_CSEG:7675h 1CAD mov al, 1 1CAF call HPDBOARD_CSEG:191h 1CB2 popad 1CB4 retf

I've made one byte patch.

Code:

1C99 jmp short 1CB2h

Please verify my BIOS mod2.
