Hello,
I would unlock this bios. I have tried to do it myself doing the following:
- Set "ACCESS/USE" to "USER" in all menus using AMIBCP 4.53
- Examined the BIOS in UEFITool and found that; there is a DXE module named OemSetupPage and one named Setup
- The module called OemSetupPage, when extracted and examined with "Universal IFR Extrator", is shown to be the BIOS menu I can see when entering the BIOS.
- The module called Setup is the one containing all the options I would like to access, in particular MXM menu and Intel IGP settings.
- I tried to simply remove OemSetupPage to see if it defaulted to Setup and flash the BIOS (kinda scary flash I admit) this resulted in a completely blank BIOS menu, so I flashed back to the original again.
At this point I'm stumped, I can't seem to alter the BIOS menu structure or find out why the hidden menus can't be included.
I tried this but but somehow it didn't change anything.
I have read other threads with similar bios mods and a user named @e.v.o came to the conclusion that the module named AMITSE is the one controlling the menu structure of the bios. Maybe this is where one can open the access to the hidden menus?
I was wondering; if it proves too difficult to unlock this bios, could a workaround be to just set the settings I want in amibcp in the optimized default column, then flashing it with the with load optimized default option on in afudos?

yes ,amibcp can modify setting value on bios.
This problem is there are two menu module ,if two menu all on a module ,maybe can use swapping method change some option ,but this can't.
