Hi Klem,

I had an account here on this platform since 2013 but i can't login....i didnt know the reason. So i created a new Account.

Just write in PM to Administrator Brian. I think that he can help you with your old account.

Are there significant differences between an m17 and an m18 BIOS and could you install to either laptop safely?

You cannot flash M18x BIOS > M17x BIOS and vice versa.

Is there any unlocked A18 bios around?

A12 bios is suitable for M18 R2 with 980m, but sometime I notice throttling problem, Unlocked A11 bios solve this problem.

Hey there,

could someone be so kind to check the Bios option for "Wake on LAN" feature if it is unlocked ?

..i really need this feature for my Alienware M18xR2 and i were wondering if this feature will be visible after unlocking the BIOS ?

...if not is someone able to add this feature to the Bios or has this been done already in another tech community and you can Link me that?

Best regards

@TechDeveloperHi. I also need wake on lan feature. My laptop is lenovo y410p. I can wake my laptop from sleep state but can't wake in hibernate state or shutdown state. In the stock bios there is no option like wake on lan. After flashing the modded bios(thanks to svl7 who made this mod) I found some new options. I enable these options, but nothing happened. I'm still unable to wake in hibernate state or shutdown state. I hope this can help you, or you could tell me something I missed about wol.

Hi !

Thank you for you answer. I flashed the A10 v2 unlocked bios, but the only option i see in the bios is the "Wake On PME" one. I enabled it, but I can't wake my computer when it's power off.

All the "Wake On Lan" options are enabled on the ethernet card settings in the Windows 7 device manager. I can wake my computer on sleep, but when it is power off, despite all the options are enabled, the card is no longer powered, so the magic packet does nothing.

I saw on another forum that unlocked bios for M18xR1 do allow to edit "Wake On Lan" option, but it seems that unlocked bios for R2 do not.

How can I make my card be powered when the computer is power off ? Is there a way to have real "Wake On Lan" option in the bios instead of "Wake On PME" ?

Edit : If I can't find a way to make Wake On Lan work when the computer is power off, i will enabled hibernation in Windows 7 and use wake on lan from hibernation. In that case, the "hiberfil.sys" will be a pain for my SSD, but if I have no choice, I prefer enjoy Wake On lan and have my SSD live shorter. What do you think ?

@VahalHi. I also need wake on lan feature. My laptop is lenovo y410p and system is Windows 10 1903. I can wake my laptop from sleep state but can't wake in hibernate state or shutdown state. In the stock bios there is no option like wake on lan. After flashing the modded bios(thanks to svl7 who made this mod) I found some new options, including "Wake On PME" and "Wake On Lan". I enable these options, but nothing happened. I'm still unable to wake in hibernate state or shutdown state. Do you have any idea about this?

Hi everyone !

Have  m18xR2 and found a RTX3000 80w, which is stated to work properly on clevo; origin is HP.

Do you have any advice on what BIOS should I use, or else? 

Thank you!

Hello, how could I get the download Link for the unlocked M18xR2 bios?

 Thanks in advance.

I would like to be able to download the Bios too, also donate. I would like to know how to proceed.

Also, should I download the Swick1981 version or the svl7 version.

My bios is A12, M18x R2, originally 2 680m in SLI, would like to upgrade to a single 980m.

Unlocked BIOS gives driver support for the 900 series cards so no modded driver is required.

Isn't it the Swick1981 Bios that you're talking about? Also, would it work on Windows 10?

It is Swick's version. Yes, it works fine with Windows 10.
