You rock man, thanks will try flashing the second 650M tomorrow... see how that goes, will buy you a several real beers next summer when I visit Switzerland

That helped, it did not abort the process after 1 sec but actualy seemd to do something, I still get two messages that worry me in yellow print PDR Region does not exist and GBE Region does not exist, it however continues and at the end prints -Veryfying Flash [0x600000] 4600KB of 4600KB - 100% complete.

RESULT: The data is identical.

then in friendly reassuring green: FPT operation passed

should the PDR and GBE region missing messages seen as an error and I need to reflash or is that normal?

Hi I flashed the 2.02 bios for the Lenovo Y500 with 2 nVidia 650 SLI cards and need to remove the whitelisting to use my broadcom WiFi card, I created a DOS bootable USB drive created the v204mod.bin file from the 2.02 backupfile. I boot from the win98 dos boot flashdrive with the generated v204mod.bin fpt.exe prr.exe and fpart.txt file on it, I run the prr tool, seems to give no error, then I do the fpt.exe -f v204mod.bin -bios and I get a:

[PMODE/W]: Abort: 00

Exception : 0E

Error code: 00000000

EAX: FED1F800 EBX: 00199FFC ECX: 00000000 EDX: 00000010

ESI: 002A000 EDI: 0019A790 EBP: 002A0154 ESP: 0029FFE8

DS: 0860 ES: 0860 FS: 0848 GS: 0850 SS: 0860 CS: 0868

EIP: 0010D6B4

EFLAGS: 00010206

CR0: 80000011 CR2: FED1F805

and the C:\> prompt again

It looks like an error code, but I have no clue what to expect, fact is the bios is not unlocked and no matter how often I reflash the above message comes back.

What am I doing wrong

I see no dropdownbox, just an order button that redirects to a new page with the invalid currency message

Hello, I tried to download the attachement since my Y500 is driving me crazy with its whitelist, but I found out I can only when I posted 5 times or become elite, well I wouldnt know hat to post except my anger at Lenovo for this crappy restriction and the elte order button dont work, it mention an invalid currency while not given any currency option whatsoever, how do I break this dilemma?
