Download link for modded BIOS X60 to allow any WWAN ???

#1 Post by gn2 » Fri Feb 01, 2013 6:19 pm

I've been searching this forum, and the net for some time now, looking for a link to download a modded BIOS for my X60 NON tablet to allow me to change the factory installed WWAN for a better, GSM capable WWAN.

I've seen "Middleton" and "Zender" bios's mentioned over and over again, but any time I see links, they're all dead Rapidshare links...

Can anyone point me to where to download the correct modded bios for my laptop please ??

My current BIOS is 2.10 (7BETC9WW)

Thanks for looking at my post.

Say there's a guy who has an X60s running 1.06 (7BET46WW) and wants to flash his BIOS so that he can replace his wireless card for one that doesn't run hot enough to turn his laptop into a George Foreman Grill, but he doesn't want to create an entirely new thread.

What would you say to a guy like that?

Hi all. Sorry for posting in a somewhat old thread, but does anyone have a current link to a modified X60 (non-tablet) BIOS that would allow me to use an "un-authorised" wireless card?

Thanks in advance,
Rob.

BIOS flashing is a very dangerous procedure. Any mistake could result in a bricked system.

Better for a person to wait and know that they are getting correct information with a reliable download than getting information from another forum.

The first Google result for "X60 modded BIOS" leads to this very thread, by the way.

Those drivers will work. Consider using Sierra's 3G Watcher program as the connection manager for the MC8781 card. It is elegantly simple, small, unobtrusive, and reliable.
