BIOS mod for T43

#1 Post by gehageh » Thu Apr 10, 2014 9:58 am

Hi,
I have not found any but I ask if you know any mod BIOS for T43 similar to the Middleton for T61, etc. I would like especially the SLIC support.
thanks in advance

If you have ATI graphics: http://rghost.net/44376439
if you have Intel graphics, look for: T43_R52-INTEL-70ET69WW_SLIC2.1_no_1802_no_2010.iso

Hi all,
I have a Ibm T43 2668CTO and Ibm T43 266844G: this Bios for 2010 problem is good for my 2 units? I ask this because one time to install a Bios for 2010 problem, the Bios was not good, and the pc dead. Please let me know.
Thanks and regards.

Both your machines had ATI graphics ex factory, so the above mentioned ATI BIOS will work on both.
(unless somebody swapped in a motherboard with Intel graphics)

Any T43/p with a model number starting in 26** has ATi GPU, Intel units start wti 187*.

No clue on why you got the error...but if the machine works as it should, who cares?

I also had error after flashing BIOS mod on 2669CTO, but everything good. Maybe because of old EC firmware(1.02), flashed 1.06 after BIOS update
