There's a weird changelog in one of XPS 15 and 17 BIOSes: "Sync solution from Queen for IFIR fan noise issue"
For L502x after this A10 BIOS it seems like the fan is behaving correctly, doesnt it ? I'm just curious because this "Queen" appears to be a model of some Inspiron 15R laptop I believe, which is what Florin9doi has.. so they had synced changes from AMI to Phoenix, which can't be the case, so it must be EC that was altered .. so now I'm bloody interested in what they changed...
P.S. and remind me again how do I unpack these bioses ffs.. all I get is

well, I never had issues with the L502x, maybe after I bough it, I noticed the fan started and stoped all the time, but didnt cared so much, and aparently went to normal after updating the bios.
did you finally managed to open L502X bioses with the phoenix slix tool?
else let me know and I can send you the dump folders from the tool of the A10 bios

Thank you, but I would rather get a fishing pole myself, then buy fish straight from you .. if you know what I mean 
For some reason none of the phoenixtools I have is willing to unpack the capsule :|

@kasar, would you mind sharing how you extract L502x BIOSes on your machine? I'm just totally lost, phoenix tool does absolutely nothing when attempting to extract a rom..

When you open ROM file in Phoenix tool (v 2.12) - it created DUMP folder in rom's folder with all the parts extractedyou dont need to do something with it
If you want to extract something manualy - you can click Structure button and then browse the FS teree, select target image and click "extract" button from the right side bar
else you can try to use mmtool to extract bios parts

AFAIK redistributing the tool isn't prohibited, so here is what I use(d). I just open the WPH file, then the F33E367F-blahblah and then edit the contents. If it still doesn't work, I don't really know, but my security suite didn't like what the tool did, I had to create an exception rule to not have it deleted.
And then, about the VBIOS, did you notice any functionality loss when using the one Ashp modified for you?
And finally, would there be any disadvantage, besides the wireless toggle not working, to commenting out the FOWM call like you mentioned with the Fn+F2 freeze?

At this point I must thank Microsoft for their marvelous Windows 8. Took my AO751h from it's exile on a shelf of dumped items and it unpacked the capsule right away.. Windows 7 Starter there..
@Brabbelbla
No disadvantages, the only issue is that he forgot to change chipset from H77 to H67 and the versioning string, but's that's an easy fix. Commenting out FOWM call leaves the button non-functional at all, it doesn't do anything when you press it, but the good thing is that it doesn't freeze the laptop either. By altering sources of IOWMIFamily you could make the button into some other button, Video Mirror or Eject or anything you can do from Apple's ADB codes (you need to be parsing the WMI code from the button press, it is being emitted even if you remove the call).

As I've said before - clover really provides good o/c: at least 25% more on my i7-2620m (haven't tried more, don't want to) but only on osx. Cannot get legacy working for windows or linux.
With regards to the ACPI FOWM call, surely that's something that we can re-enable in software via a macro/hotkey - essentially turning on/off wifi is an easy call to implement from within the os?

Hello from Vostro 3450 thread! 
There is a way to flash modified DSDT on Vostro 3450. There seems to be a bug in PhoenixTool that prevents it from reintegrating the module correctly. You can fix the module with some hex editing and replace it manually using the "Structure" button. I believe you can do the same thing for the XPS. I will post more details soon, but meanwhile you can check my report here: http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-De...4#pid54424
