Setting chassis-type to Convertible

Open SourceDiver42 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi, this is more if a non-issue and more of an improvement. In the readme, you specified that it is not possible to change the chassis-type to Convertible. However, since the Minibook is using an AMI BIOS, you can use a recent AMIDEWIN.exe (I don't remember if it was this one) and set the chassis-type to 0x1F when executing the binary in a Windows environment. My Minibook now identifies as a Convertible. What could be the next steps (if any), now that I managed to change this value?

Cheers

I also experienced the same thing, still waiting for an answer

If others are also looking how to edit the chassis-type to Convertible: the AMI Desktop Mangement Interface Edit Utility v5.27.00.0003, downloaded from https://download.schenker-tech.de/package/dmi-edit-efi-ami/ worked for me.

Run .\AMIDEWINx64.exe /ALL to get the ChassisHandle, then modify with .\AMIDEWINx64.exe /CTH {handle} 1F.
