Unknown mobo, Phoenix BIOS - unlocking
#1
Hi all, it's my first post here ;-)

Here's the long story short: I have a mobo of unknown origin (a pull-off from a DVR of some sort), the BIOS ID is:

6A79HAKCC-00 05/05/2008

The AK thing says it's either Aaeon or Advantech - embedded computer manufacturers, the problem is - I couldn't find BIOSes on their respective websites, nor the specific motherboard model.

examination+googling revealed that this mobo is an Intel 945GM(E) + ICH7 one, modified Phoenix BIOS. The motherboard presents itself as Advansus 945G.

Here's the ROM file, backed up using the UniversalBIOSBackup:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/07e57nyy242fxw...6.00PG.rom

Honestly speaking, I'm too much of a n00b to modify it straight away - I've tried PhoenixModTool 1.42 and Phoenix BIOS editor, without success - cannot load the file properly. Can anyone help me?

Just checking to see if you ever found a bios for your motherboard? I have a few of these (Verint Edge VR200 DVR) and got a few to work as DVRs with a propriety hard drive. But wanted to use the nice case to make a PC to use as a File Server/DLNA Server; so I stripped out the CCTVs card & the PQI Standard Disk on Module (IDE/PATA) module and installed Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) , but PC is slow even with a 120GB Sata SSD hard drive and 4GB. On board video card is awful so I am planning on purchasing a low profile nVidia card and see if that would help the performance. Ive searched the internet and found it to have a ADVANSUS Model 945G motherboard but was unable to find any BIOS updates. It currently only see about 3.5GB of memory (and think the video card is using some of my original 4GB). Any help with an updated BIOS would be appreicated and if I by chance come across an update I would be more than happy to pass it your way.

Thanks in advance

Jeff

Hi, unfortunately not. I managed to open the BIOS file for modding, but subsequent tinkering damaged it - I had to hotflash it :-) It seems it's custom-tailored by Advansus, not by having certain features locked, but completely removed instead (although of course I might be completely wring).

What puzzles me, though - is there any (from a different manufacturer) unlocked BIOS that could serve as a replacement for the original one?
