Let say your Vaio Z is using Bios R4040M3 and you move to Bios R4041M3 to use the official VT support. Later on, you want to move back to R4040M3 to use the Advance Menu hack. Unfortunately, you cannot move back as Sony never publish the R4040M3 Bios update. This is my current situation.
I decided to investigate a way to back up the current Bios. Using a program called Universal extractor, I managed to extracted the files in the original Bios update. The bios update uses a program called Insydeflash to flash the Bios. The Insydeflash uses a file called platform.ini to control its setting.
In the platform.ini file, there is a section called [FDFile]. The section [FDFile] has a parameter called BackupName. If we put in a file name here, the Insydeflash should save your current Bios into that file. Unfortunately, I cannot make it work with the Sony supplied Insydeflash. (version 3.38).
I managed to get the newer version of Insydeflash (version 3.72). The newer version has a new ini section called [BackupROM], as the following:
..........
[BackupROM]
Flag=0
FilePath=c:

I was messing around with my laptop and the various thermal monitoring programs it has while searching the net why the hell my by-core temps always gets stuck at startup. I kept reading on BIOS, BIOS, BIOS. So I went to acer.com.sg for hopes that a newer 1.25 or so BIOS would be available for my Ciel Noir.
Surprise surprise, they have only the 1.16 (came with my laptop when it was new) and the 1.23 BIOS (mine was presently 1.24, and they don't have it). I downloaded it anyway, and checked the readme. I noticed that the flash utility .exe was named JALA0123.exe and then I noticed through HWMonitor 1.14 that my motherboard was marked JALA0 so hmm...this prompted me to flash the BIOS.
Booted up, got into Windows, fired up HWMonitor and what do you know, now it's working!! HWMonitor reads a different TJMax though, so I adjusted it to be the same as CoreTemp's and Everest, and now it's showing (I hope) correct temps.
Now my question is this: Why does the BIOS that comes from Acer directly i.e. after purchase or repair makes the sensors not work? And why are these BIOSes not available online? Is it possible that they use BIOSes that are for different laptop models, hence rendering the addresses for the thermal monitors different from the actual ones? (I read up that thermal sensors depended on the correct addresses, too.)
There are a lot of BIOS MOD request forums out there but most of them only specialize in SLIC modification. Our job is to unlock hidden menu in the BIOS. We don't want to use "specialize" word here but we know the "how" to get the job done. Based on the old thread Acer Laptop with Phoenix BIOS: Enable Virtualization, we decided to open new thread which specifically deals with BIOS MOD requests.
Other BIOS modder (bob12x, Darkening & others) and I will help you to unlock hidden menu(s) such as Intel Virtualization Menu and Intel Speedstep Technology.............
I've run into an issue that has stricken every single laptop, regardless of OS, that I've ran that has an intel 4965N WiFi card. Dell Latitudes, Inspirons, Acers, HPs, Lenovos, Toshibas, Gateway, Sony, XP, Vista, Server 2008, Windows 7, 32 bit, 64 bit.
Transfers of large files to my NAS, such as DVD ISOs, system images, or VMware images, will result in a failed transfer 100% of the time.
The issue does not occur with Broadcom or Atheros cards, or intel cards such as the the 2915ABG, 2200BG, 5100N, 5300N, 5350N. Just the 4965N.
I have an intel 5100N card I bought for a friend to use in a laptop, but he opted to use a Broadcom card that was supported in OSX. I'd like to use it in the HP to fix this issue, but unfortunately, HP's current whitelisting of WiFi cards prevents me from doing so. find a BIOS that will let me use my 5100N?
New bios for 4th generation Z with VT enabled:
http://www.sony-asia.com/support/dow...duct/vgn-z46gd
I didn't install as I had already enabled VT using the EFI tweak. In addition, I am not sure whether I can turn on the Advanced Menu again after installing this Bios.
I am very close to deciding on Sony for my next machine.
Half of the people hate them. Half love them. Half the reviews say there are crap. Half say they are machines built by Gods.
It is a lot to sift through.
The WEIRDEST thing I have heard is about the BIOS and how it is not really a completely hardware controlled BIOS like most are .....
I'm having some strange happenings with my Vaio FZ of late. I took it apart a couple of days ago to clean it up and after re-assemebling and hitting the power button,
the computer wouldn't go past the initial "Vaio,Phoenix,Intel" screen. I tried a couple of hours later and it booted fine.
(Note, I've took it apart on two occasions before and have had zero problems after).....
I have a VGN-FS850/W notebook. When I turn it on I can't activate the Bios screen. I've tried hitting the F2 key nothing happens. I've taken the memory out trying to trigger a bios event but that does not help. Sometimes it won't even show the Sony Logo.
It has a hard drive that has an lsass.exe error at boot-up.
I install a brand new HD and I get the same problem, can't get to the bios. I have scanned the drive for viruses. It a had a few minor ones but not Sasser as I suspected.
Is it possibly a bios battery that is dead.
Does anyone know why the bios what appear or what else could be the problem.
with bios for VGN-AR71M BIOS Version: R2090J8 where can i download this bios
View 5 Replies View RelatedI got a Sony VGN- FW11E laptop the one with p8400 processor. Recently I updated bios to R0270Y0 from R0250Y0 in order to enable virtualisation since then my cpu runs to 100% of its speed 2.26mhz. I used different power profiles but the speed is stuck to 2.26mhz. I used different programmes to monitor the cpu speed however the results were the same.
Also the fan runs longer now.
Does anyone have the R0250Y0 bios?
BIOS updates for many models to enable VT. Some showed up in US site, like FW590, but others are listed in oversea.
Like the FW290J that I have, can use R1100Y0 BIOS update. Basically look for last 2 characters of your current BIOS version then see what's available.
Here is a link from oversea:

I have a FZ11S laptop. On boot, how can I access the BIOS screen? My desktop is with the Del key but Vaio must have a different key I guess.
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust saw the new Z in a local computer store. The bios version is R5030M3. The video driver is the latest one. The speed mode has no problem. (I will be very surprise if it has problem.) Sony definitely has the Bios and driver to make our Z work in Windows 7. I don't understand why they don't release them to resolve all the problems that we are facing in Windows 7 upgrade.

If you plan to upgrade to Vista x64 SP2 you better update the BIOS first. For my case I have SP2 install from scrash and I cannot update the BIOS to new version.

I've done some searches and many state that hitting F3 is the key I press to get into the bios but it's not working. I have a VPC-W121 that came with Windows 7 Starter. Want to install Ultimate edition to test, but will want to back up the image of the hard drive first.

The name of the file is AIBSYS-00208407-US.EXE and the release date is 10/19/2009

I bought this laptop for about 2 and a half years and I got the extended warranty for 3 years. After I bought it about 3-4 months after I have called and asked for the BIOS password but they stalled and stalled and stalled and I never obtained it. Now I call again to ask for the BIOS password w/ all the information they are acquiring like receipt etc. Now they say that my warranty has expired. Are they not supposed to give all information of the laptop to the customer that purchased their products? I need the BIOS to reformat my OS..
