DeadAtBirth Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 the m50s reqiures modified bios... not avail for the m50v.....? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123175-asus-m50vmx-a1-notebook-compat/#findComment-872164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmikase Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 You should have a look to the modded bios for the M50SV to know if it is the same bios as yours. I think it will be the same because it's the same plateform. I know that my bios version is 207. The modded bios is really good. Anyway if you try to flash it if and it is not compatible your laptop will refuse to flash Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123175-asus-m50vmx-a1-notebook-compat/#findComment-872820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
