T60p Custom BIOS splash Issue

#1 Post by Gynthar357 » Mon Dec 17, 2012 2:52 pm

Hi,
Recently I have been working on a custom thinkpad BIOS splash logo.
I used a little guide I found here http://www.giocc.com/custom-bios-splash ... eries.html

The first problem to occur was that the "drivers" failed to load in the BIOS update utility,
consequently I have modified the bootable bios-update image with the new logo.

Notice the lenovo logo Vertically on the right side of the image, and the intel logo above that.

The bios was updated sucsesfully, the logo was implemented. but there is an overlay with the intel logo, and lenovo logo over my custom image... are these logo's part of the splashscreen image? are they located elsewhere in the bios files, or did I make a mistake? :?

any help or suggestions are welcome!
Thanks. :)

n.b: I use an IBM Thinkpad T60p (14.1") type: 2007-8HU (Intel Core2Duo 2,33Ghz T7600 ; 2GB DDR2 RAM 677Mhz)

thanks for the notice, the removals of the [IMG] tags is sufficient I suppose.
