    Vaio VPCZ-Fan on full speed after flash BIOS

    Hello,
    i have special problem. By me is Vaio VPCZ12X9E with MBX-206 mainboard.
    I have smashed original bios by modding for enable hidden settings...and i have no backup So i have found bios dump on internet for same MBX-206 mainboard and then i have flash it to bad one. Thats okay - notebook starts without problem and all is working....BUT after power on fan goes on full speed ...and still in full speed in bios settings and in windows too
    I have checked dust inside and all is clean...thermal compound is new.
    My idea is - maybe is some different within EU and USA version?
    Because dump is from VPCZ117CF and my vaio is VPCZ12X9E.

    Now i have modded installed bios for enable more settings - inside is now settings for fan speed - but this settings does nothing.
    I have attached my bios dump.
    Can anyone help me?

      now you should try various bios dumps to find a working one.
      unfortunately, the original Bios for VPCZ12X9E does not exists on the Sony website anymore. So you have to wait till someone uploads it here.

      There is also one in the following thread that you can try:
      https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...hlight=MBX-206

      The poster said: "it works like a charm" , but it does not belong to VPCZ12X9E.

          This post should be in the bios requests sub-forum.

          Anyway...

          The bios linked to by @caspian was an older one,Ver:R1180C3 ,i`ve merged the R3031C3 bios update into it and cleaned the ME area,it should be ok , but without the mods .The VPCZ1 models all use the same bios,the DMI area is different.
          Did you follow the guide at notebookreview? http://forum.notebookreview.com/thre...473226/page-44


          The DMI info is at 34B000 - 34B2BF for anyone else who wants to edit their own DMI into this bios.

                  Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo

                  ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
                  Model No: RC72LA
                  Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

                  Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

                  I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...

                  Help Disabling Flash Protection Range Registers on Lenovo P360 Tiny BIOS
                  by abhorsen
                  Hey guys,

                  Hope you all are doing well. I come here from Win-Raid because I am having issues disabling Flash Protection Range Registers so I can flash my BIOS from within Windows using Intel's IFW tool/using flashrom within Linux, however I cannot due to the above mentioned error.

                  Here is my thread on Win-Raid detailing the whole process I went through: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/re...h-gen/95478/27

                  Essentially I managed to boot into Windows while shorting PINs 1+5 of my audio chip to disable the HAP bit...

                  Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                  by AquaMan Ua
                  Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                  Dell Optiplex 7010 micro bad BIOS flash?
                  by mrrubik
                  Hi folks,

                  I got a Dell Optiplex 7010 micro PC (Exact Model) with 8FC8 BIOS and locked out admin password. I attempted to remove the password by patching the BIOS via info from this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ssword-patcher
                  After flashing the patched the BIOS, the PC is unresponsive with a solid AMBER power LED (not documented in manual anywhere)

                  Steps I took:
                  1. Read BIOS with CH341a, verified hash twice
                  2. Patched
                  ...
