And they key was tied to a BRANDED BIOS THAT YOU CHANGED ON YOUR OWN,
without questioning what else might have been impacted.

And nothing you did was illegal, invalidating your license is not an
illegal action. BIOS updates from the systems vendor don't cause the
problem you specified with Activation, only unbranded BIOS updates cause
the problem.

Actually, you did a run-around update and didn't get an approved update,
and now you've seen the consequences of that action.

No one suggested that your reason for flashing was anything less than
legit - no one said anything questioning your ethics for it, people
were only asking what problem caused the need for it.
As for the last part, it's a$$holes like the support people in this group
that might have been able to fix the issue or help without running into
all the crap you have - but your attitude really sux and Usenet is one of
those places where you reap what you sow.
