Thanks in advance

This is modified BIOS image for Fujitsu Amilo Pro V3515. It's based on BIOS downloaded at first post. Use at your own risk! If you use this modified BIOS image please take pictures some of the unlocked options/menus & post them here.

(The DRAM settings can be found at the bottom of the Advanced section)

NOTES: I have unlocked other menu as well. Please be careful with it. If your computer doesn't boot after changing something in the sub-menu, you will need to disconnect the CMOS/RTC battery to reset CMOS back to default. To do so, you will need to open your notebook casing.

Please make sure your notebook can recover corrupted BIOS with CRISIS disk before flashing BIOS with this modified BIOS image. I will not responsible for any problem. Good luck.

Hy,

I have a similar problem with my amilo pro v3515.
I have upgraded the cpu to a core2duo t5600 and the ram to 4 gb 667 mhz.
the i have noticed several problems:
-the cpu is recognized by the original bios but it gets overheated and the fan runs at maximum, my guess probably from being undervolted. after doing some research i have noticed that all the processor used originally are in the 0.762–1.3 V range while core2duo are in 1.0375–1.3 V range. Because this chipset doesn't support speedstep the processor gets very hot.
-the ram isn't recognized at 667 for one, and it won't boot with 4gb only with 2.
The chipset used, vn896, from the specifications seems to be capable to support core2duo and 667 mhz memory, which leads to only one conclusion: the voltage and memory frequency are fixed in bios. And another thing probably from bios too I’m guessing: the harddisk gets the lcc syndrome probably from a power saving option, tried 3 hdd until now, all are behaving in the same manner in this notebook.
So in conclusion:
-Can you please confirm that there are the options that i need in the bios to regulate the voltage and ram frequency ?
- How can i load the bios if necessary? or were i can find instructions.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Go to the fujistsu siemens support site, select your laptop.
At the menu, select manuals from the left.
In there you will find : Recovery BIOS and BIOS Update in pdf format.
There is a procedure where you have to change a pin on the motherboard and have a bootable usb with the bios, but it's better explained there.
Hope this helps.

Hey. It has been a while.
My screenshot for updated BIOS:

   

About processors with 64-bit architecture:

If you are using the processors from T series above T2700 on Socket M. It is possible that your notebook will recognize more than 2GB installed. The modules have to be identical brand. I used Kingston 667 Mhz each 2Gb. It worked in my case, I tested it with T7200. However, then you fan will constantly work. I had no issues with overheating on that end. Somewhere in the posts, I spotted that Kizwan suggested to use Shin Etsu thermal compound. I used that, no problems whatsoever.

Yet, I decided to stick with another CPU and upgraded my earliest upgrade T2500 to T2700, and abandoned the idea of 64-bit CPUs. They costly and unnecessary for the work I do. T2700 does not overheat, no pin mods required. All is there 2.33 Ghz and 2Mb L2 cache. I do not care much that it does not recognize more than 2Gb. At least it is safe, and my notebook is not under stress, which makes me think it will last a year or so.

Other than that... I did not manage to get the memory working in Dual Channel. I received a comment from VIA that Dual Channel works only with VIA processors for this specific motherboard type.

I hope I answered all. Good luck you all!

So, the graphic card is taking 256 MB from RAM whihc is 1.5 Gb only and i would like to unlock the hidden menu of VRAM which has been hidden since i updated Bios from original one to 1.0N from Fujistu website.
So, i would like to reduce VRAm and also by the same occasion know if somebody tried with this model GB and it really worked?

Please help me!

Thx in advance.

Hello. Immediately apologize for English (I use a translator). Please unlock the ability to change the size of the memory buffer for the graphics core on Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro v3515. In the old version 10B such possibility was (it was possible to allocate from 32 to 128MB of memory for a video core). In subsequent versions, this option was no longer and the system automatically takes 256MB of memory (which is a lot for a total of 2GB). Is it possible on the latest version 10N unlock this option? Thanks in advance! The version of the BIOS 10B (where there is this option yet) and 10N (as the most recent) attached.

Hi~~guy
Do you mean item "Frame Buffer Size" was hidden in version 10N bios interface??
If yes ,download below bios modded .

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I had this point in mind. Flashed your firmware. This point appeared, but what value I would not expose - all the same 256MB is allocated from RAM((

Hi~~try #26 modded.

He unlocked more options and i think item "Aperture Size" is you need.
