Hello, I have a T60p that I need to install zender bios on.. I have it downloaded and burned on a dvd, but it brings me to a command line. How do I install it? Do I need a battery for this?
Thanks

I would never even dream of flashing BIOS without a working battery installed.

The fact that it brings you to a command line doesn't sound right to me. It's been a while since I last flashed Z's BIOS, but really can't recall anything of that nature.

Just copying it onto a CD does not work.
The .ISO needs to be burned on a CD/DVD with a program like https://www.imgburn.com/
That will make a bootable disk.

I’ve gotten past that point, but how do you install it?

With a working battery and charger connected, you boot, press F12 immediately to select the boot drive and pick that CD/DVD-drive.

Okay so I’ve gotten it to boot off the disc but all I get is a command line..

There's a better/newer modded BIOS here: https://www.datafilehost.com/d/7bc68cf8
AFAIK that's the one made by ttav34, with Slic2.1 and whitelist removed

File host is dead. Any chance of a rehost?

This will work for a t60p 4:3?


Thank you!
