Hi, I need the unlocked version of Phoenix Bios F.0A for the Compaq Presario F759WM notebook pc. I'm hoping somewhere within the unlocked version I will be able to make configuration changes to USB. I am having problems getting the ports to run at full speed despite using different operating systems, updated BIOS files, updated Chipset drivers, Hotfixes, service packs, etc. I believe if I were able, to say disable legacy support or force the 2.0 speed, then my USB issues would be resolved. Here are my specs:
UPDATE: My problem is getting the USB 2.0 ports to run at HIGH-SPEED with my 2.0 devices, not the full speed (the USB 1.1) mode I mentioned above.
UPDATE: I have attached the Phoenix Bios file to this post. (can anyone unlock this bios to make the USB functions accessible?)
Computer: Compaq Presario notebook F759WM (F700 Series)
Bios Type: Phoenix 4.0 Release 6.1
Bios Version: F.0A
Bios Build Date: 3/22/11
Bios Link Location:

Thanks

I am curious, were you able to do anything with the bios of this laptop? I have a f761US that I am playing with. I am trying to upgrade the CPU.
Thanks!
Hello Ionicbond and revbruce3,
I will take a look at this BIOS image to see what can be unlocked.
Hello Ionicbond and revbruce3,
The BIOS mod is complete! The modified BIOS image is located at the bottom of this post.
All menus and settings unlocked in this image can be found in the 'System Configuration' Menu.
Generic Warnings/Disclaimers:
Quote:Please remember to take proper precautions when flashing your BIOS. Even if the image is safe, the flashing process can still fail. Make sure that (if applicable) your notebook is fully charged (100%), the power adapter is properly connected, and that the chance of a power outage occurring is as minimal as possible. Do not interrupt the flashing process. If possible, it is a good idea to have a working CRISIS recovery disk handy when flashing your BIOS. Use the flashing instructions for your particular computer brand. DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNNECESSARY!!!
I take absolutely NO responsibility for ANY damages that may occur to you, your computer, your personal belongings, your neighbor's cat, or any other personnel or equipment as a direct or indirect result/consequence of your, or any one else's, use or misuse of any of the files that are in this archive at the present or at any time in the past or the future. You assume full responsibility for any damages or inconveniences that may occur by choosing to flash, or otherwise use or misuse, this image or any of the other files within this archive.
Have fun! 
Please remember to post the results of the BIOS flash!
