[REQUEST] Acer Aspire 5742(G,Z) BIOS Unlock

[pixita]

Hi,
I am writing to ask experts like you if you might help unlock the bios of the laptop in question. This is because I saw that my i3 supports hyper threading, but you can not get bios. Since then also has a Geforce GT540M 1 Gb NVidea (CUDA), perhaps it would be better to select it as the first graphics card, this thing also not possible with the current bios.

You place the link on the latest version:

Thank you in advance.

I found a chinese site claiming it has working modded 1.30 bios for acer 5742g.
If you care to test, here it is.

I do not trust that site there. Ideally that would be the experts in this forum to do so.

I went to see but I can not determine the correct file to download and try.
If perhaps you manage to tell which of the many that we have to take, I try.

Thanks

Hi,

what is this bios from that chinese site capable doing?

I wish I knew too! In fact, for this reason, was wondering if anyone had already tried.

the bios works. It is the 30 one not the 27 or non unlocked 29. I see the advanced menu tab which has little but the power tab and a ton of switchable options in it like advanced cpu control so on and so forth. I have an acer 5742g-7200 i pulled off the shelf to install it on so i can confirm it works just fine so give it a show if u want but thought i would at the very least let you know its good.

Hi, I have this pc, i would like to modify some options like the video card usage (this model use nvidia optimus, which is unsupported by linux), the ACPI, the LegacyUSB and UEFI Boot

this is the last original driver, if you can fix it i'd be very pleased
