Yes, a mk1LL. I also need a way to read/flash it.

I have picked up a couple CF-52CCABVBM mk1L. Will the BIOS image from one of them work? If so, I need to know how to make a copy.
Also, parts arrived today.
Should be able to play with them tonight, after I finish fresh OS and driver install on the second CF-52.

How to make a copy is sort of the mystery that needs solving, hehe. It's something I have been unable to figure out.

I found a tool on MyDigitalLife called Univaersal BIOS Backup. I used it to copy the BIOS from a CF-52CCABVBM with BIOS: V1.54L25. I have attached the file in .rar format. Should be able to use Pheonix BIOS flash utility to flash new BIOS. Hope it works for you.

Thanks, I'll see if I can't do anything with that. My feeling is that I need something called a WPH file to flash that, but we'll see (I messed with this a bit already). I'll grant you the credit reward anyways for when I next get stuff to sell.

Here is the WinPhlash program. I used it on one of my Z61. Not concerned about the credits, just trying to help the project along. Have Phun.

Hehe, I'll either have fun, or a brick. We'll see! My goal is to remove the wifi whitelist, I'm a bit of a bios hacker in my spare time.

If you do have fun, and not a brick, I would sooner have a copy of the whitelist BIOS that the credits. Good luck.

I may have something with the wifi whitelist, will know in a few days. Am a bit scarred to flash it to my device, hehe. Probably will break down and try it after some bucks from the next sale, so I can purchase a replacement if I kill this one.

Couldn't you back-up the original BIOS before you flash the hacked one?
Send it to me and I will flash it into one of the 2 mk1L I have. If it bricks and I can not revive it there will be a bunch of CF-52 mk1 parts for sale.
