#1
Lightbulb 
~!Greetings Dear Members and Bios-Mod_Administration Team!~

Let me sorry for disturbing in first..

Next..

If possible please, then I need some advices,tips,hints and help in case of unlocking "Legacy Boot Mode Hidden Option" in "Acer Aspire A315-32 ver.1.15" bios file...

I want to install older operating systemm, but without unlocking of legacy boot option its not possible..only UEFI mode is actually available in settings..

And I'm sure,there must be hidden option in BIOS that somehow possible to reveal to change UEFI mode to LEGACY mode...

...

Already Extracted (Section_PE32_image_DriverSampleDxe_SetupUtility_body.efi) from BIOS dump file,and its atached to my post with some of pictures about bios menu also!

With "IRFExtractor" extracted from (Section_PE32_image_DriverSampleDxe_SetupUtility_body.efi) the file String Packages...

Regards!

Have God Blessed Nice Day!

God Blessing To All!

Bye!

~!Greetings Dear Members and Bios-Mods_Administration Team!~

Thank You So Much For Fast Reaction,Answer!

No problem at all desolderin the eeprom, or writing/reading eeprom with SOIC8_Clip!

Thanks For The God I have both accessories at my hand..External chip programmer with ZIF+SOIC8_socket and CH341A+SOIC8_Clip also..

...

The problem is that this type of WINBOND Chipset is 1,8V based..and the cheap Chinese Chip Programmer With SOIC8_Clip CH341A is cause over-voltage came from wrong design..so i need to de-solder eeprom and read it in external programmer,i think that is the right way..but it's OK,if not happen anything wrong in soldering procedure..

...

"I think" I need help only in disassembling process..because I'm stuck with that..I don't know where I start with it..analyzed donovan older posts on his blog about bios unlock procedure,but i feel and i think its outdated howto and there is a bit more tricky or complex this procedure..
