Dell L502X BIOS Update installer patching


R9C.

The USB and HDMI ports no longer work, the graphics card is fried and unless disabled in Device Manager - causes a BSOD, the battery has totally failed, the case is cracked and dented as an added bonus it's around 3 inches thick and 4 kilograms 'light'. Which led me to this piece of code - Note the do while loop, and the "case 3:" we're inside a switch statement and this is where I'm getting stuck. A quick look at the comparison for the switch statement tells me I can just patch this variable out to always land on case 6, this should take me straight me to the BIOS flashing procedure with no pesky checks.
