Hi there knowledgeable peeps. I have the Laptop above, the CQ61-109TU Compaq Presario. I upgraded the CPU to (T8100) and 8gb ram. I have a broadcom 4313 1x1 wifi card in it now running fine, it was unsupported until I found a modified SP51527 bios file which I gritted my teeth and flashed the bios with it.
I thought I had bricked it because when I went into the bios after flashing it hardly anything was there, I can't do anything because there is nothing there to click on or enable or disable. As I say I thought I bricked it, and so I did the only thing left and reflashed it with a good F.23 bios file and it worked, I got the bios back.
So it got me thinking again what was the first file about SO I reflashed it again with the file and then tried the unsupported broadcom card and walah it was accepted.
SO
I must have stumbled across a semi finished sp51527 bios file and downloaded and ran that. The laptop is running really well, it shuts down and goes to sleep etc ok so I figure I can leave it with the bios that allows me to have bluetooth, and man does BT run fine and has great volume unlike the later stuff.
Anyway I was wondering if anybody had a finished modded sp51527 bios file that I could have because I'd really like to have my bios back but the moment I reflash it with the original bios the wifi card wont be recognised.
Help me please if you can and thanks in advance for your contribution. Regards, Jason.
