Stands for "Intel Dynamic Acceleration", which is a predecessor of Intel Turbo Boost technology.
I did it and after getting used to it for a while it is now more pleasant to have the same behaviour on all keyboards. You can choose this by using the other BIOS-update-files (which you find in the ZIP-package). A lot of user with multiple notebooks don't like this so you can revert the order with this fix. On Lenovo notebooks this is interchanged. The special function-key (Fn) is on its right side. You can find the CTRL-key on most notebooks in the bottom left corner of the keyboard. This fix removes the error-message and the need to press Escape.
On some models that originally shipped with a Core 2 Duo 'Merom' CPU, an upgrade to a Core 2 Duo 'Penryn' CPU would cause the system to throw a "Thermal Sensing error" upon starting the system which has to be canceled by pressing Escape. This fix removes the whitelist so you can use cards of any manufacturer. If you try to use the MiniPCI-Express slot with Non-Lenovo cards you'll get an Error 1802 after starting.
I don't really need that feature since Windows' product activation doesn't hurt, but especially Windows 7-users without internet-connection (or valid license-key) may appreciate it. SLIC 2.1 is required to use that feature with Windows 7. Stands for "Software licensing information code" which is a technique used by OEM vendors to execute Windows-installations without having to activate it (which is required from Windows XP onwards). These bios-es are completely unofficial releases. They are provided "as is" without any warranties from Lenovo. Lenovo has never tested or approved these patched bios and doesn't support them. You will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from flashing or using of the patched BIOS.
However data integrity tests take time and it's up to the user to confirm there is no data loss due to the increased SATA-II interface speed. These modified BIOS images have been beta tested to confirm they do not brick the system after flash. The following table shows the supported Thinkpad-models and the corresponding BIOS-update-files:ĭISCLAIMER: Use these modified bios at your own risk! If you use a 64-bit version or another operating system you have to burn the included ISO-file on a CD or DVD and boot from it. Note that the BIOS flasher only works on 32-bit versions of Windows. The flasher is an EXE-file which updates the BIOS directly.
