Thanks for your response, it confirmed what I read about Phoenix BIOS not safe to flash from backed up BIOS file.Īlso the PhoenixTool from AndyP says 'Not Phoenix/Dell/Insyde/EFI BIOS' and the AMITool from AndyP says 'Not AMI BIOS' so I guess that makes it Award.ĭoes the RW-Everything report give any information that can confirm Award bios is correct for certain? On the post screen and in the BIOS screens at the top, it reads 'Phoenix - Award workstationBIOS v6.00PG'. View attachment PHOENIXTECHNOLOGIES,LTD-MC61V008_SLIC.7z Would there be a better backup created by another tool, maybe used from DOS?ĮDIT: I have modified the backup BIOS rom (attached above) with the AWARD 1.53 tool and it completed successfully, but I would like to know if someone can confirm if it is safe to flash since it is a backup bios? Even an original bios file would be fine because I am comfortable using AndyP's tools. I would like either an SLIC 2.1 version of the bios version above or even a newer release of the BIOS for this motherboard. View attachment PhoenixTechnologies,LTD-MC61V008.7z

It does look like the BIOS chip is removable so any screw ups could be recovered without soldering or a new motherboard. rom file created by Universal BIOS Backup Toolkit or if there is a duplicate/similar motherboard bios available, possibly crossflashing? I have seen an ECS-MCP61PM-AM but I don't want to take chances with my friend's PC. I know that it is generally frowned upon and sometimes impossible, but I would like to know if it is possible to modify a backup. I have a Packard Bell iStart 2311 PC, but I can not obtain a BIOS file from the packard bell website for the motherboard.
