[Request] Adding 7th Gen CPU support to Fujitsu D3430-A1

[Mamouth_74]

Hi, I purchased a FUJITSU ESPRIMO D556/E85 a long time ago.

It currently has an Intel® Celeron® CPU G3900 (Spec code SR2HV) installed and I have a spare i5-7500t (Spec code SR337) that i would like to put inside.

Thing is, the FUJITSU ESPRIMO D556/E85 motherboard (D3430-A1) only supports 6th gen while is conterpart FUJITSU ESPRIMO D556/2/E85 motherboard (D3430-U) supports 7th gen (cf: https://cdn.cnetcontent.com/d1/1e/d11e89...ddf840.pdf)

They both run the same chipset but have two different motheboard model.

Mine (D3430) has a BIOS update that you can find here:

while the one supporting 7th gen(D3430-U) has a BIOS update that you can find here:
https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/IndexDown...A1569244B6

While i tried putting my i5-7500t in the slot, it would not boot. The cpu would just get hot but nothing would show on screen.

I was tempted to try and update by D3430 with the D3430-U BIOS update but my knowledge in BIOS is really weak and I would prefer not to brick my Motherboard without anyone's advice.

What would you suggest ?

Just truncate D3430-U1.UPD to 8192 KB and flash by a hardware programmer.

Am I supposed to flash the truncated .upd file ? I was thinking about using a ch341a.
