Acer Aspire 4252 { Unlocked BIOS in post #33 }

[Knightmare]

Hello Knightmare,

The tabs are still swapped like I said before (main and information)

I forgot about that. I will release a third mod with these swapped. I will release this today (if nothing comes up).

SB800 EC options
SB Hardware Monitor

Third Image:
GFX Clock Speed
And a bunch of "Lanes conector type"

The 'SB Hardware Monitor' sub-menu was empty when I added it. I am not sure what goes under it. I could explore for unlinked settings and add them to the sub-menu. There ...should... be two settings under the 'SB800 EC Options' sub-menu. They are probably hidden like the Advanced Menu was. They are titled 'SureBoot' and 'SureBoot Timeout'. I do not know if your computer is supposed to support these or not.

I will try unhiding "GFX Clock Speed". It may be hidden due to you having a graphics card other than the factory default (If this is the case - otherwise, unhiding it will probably work). It would be hidden as it would not be capable of controlling a non-preset card.


As before, I want to warn you that if the setting does not apply to the computer's current hardware and it is unhidden, it may or may not freeze the BIOS menu [that the setting is located in] upon entering it. It will not brick your computer though. Thank you for being the first person to confirm that the unhiding of settings/menus works. This will definitely help in future mods.


I have received all of the parts (excluding the compatible RAM) necessary for the Phoenix BIOS Research Project that I will be conducting. I will be testing new types of Phoenix BIOS mods. Once I confirm them to be 100% safe, I will be applying them to current and future BIOS mods. There are some BIOS images (your BIOS image is definitely included in this list) that I will be creating second mod versions of. *ModV2*

Thank you! I will be waiting for it to test.
