also thanks in advance for any response what I feel is these new laptops by these vendors are suspect because many of the advertised processor speeds and features are apparently disabled via bios on system boards so that one never really experiences the full benefits of the newer processor speeds and functionalities can anyone ellaborate on this. Also if there is any looming class action suits being filed

On the insyde bios version 17 for the amd 8 based HP laptop version dv7-6c20us is there any way to unlock the hidden advanced option in the bios it seems absurd not to be able to allocate memory or any other adjustments on a laptop one purchases

Succeeded on a Presario C700 laptop! These are the modifications I had to perform on the process:
- Used fmem, since I couldn’t read from /dev/mem on the specified address.
- dd parameters for 1MB BIOS (dd if=/dev/mem of=original_bios.fd bs=1024 count=1024 skip=4193280).
- Used MaxL modified “vtenable.py” script with the following parameter changes:
VSS_OFFSET = 0x000C0048
VSS_SIZE = 0×4000 – 0×48
PATCH_OFFSET = 0×bd <- this is the offset for the C700 BIOS
- Used the hidden BIOS recovery feature instead of flashing with the provider tool (read this: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/13095-Undocumented-INSYDE-BIOS-recovery-method-Use-andy-s-tool-to-obtain-possible-names), with Windows+B key combination and using "IBL80HW.FD" as the BIOS file name.

Thanks a lot marcan and all of you people who posted your personal experiences!

For those having problems dumping memory on Ubuntu:

On most recent versions of Linux you cannot ‘dd’ /dev/mem anymore.

You need /dev/fmem. You can download the kernel module. Check out http://blogs.gnome.org/muelli/2010/04/imaging-ram-using-windd-devfmem-or-qemu/ for more infos.
