You can bypass this IC by connecting Vin to Vout. Just be sure that there aren't any shorts downstream. Also, make sure that the input voltage is correct.
I didn't get a chance to swap out the chips. The customer took the drive with him and that's that. It would've been interesting to see if the drive could be saved.
I bought a joblot composed of 4 Thinkpad L380, 2 are 100% working the other 2 have corrupted bios.
I've dumped their respective BIOSES before attempting anything.On this thread I'll focus on laptop #1(will open another thread for #2).

2) Use the lenovo patcher available on this forum to get rid of the password.It worked.

I thought I'd throw out some of my personal experiences in the last 12 months with Intel iMacs, 2.5" SATA SSD drives and Fusion drive data recoveries.
As a backgrounder, Apple never fitted a 2.5" SSD's to these iMacs. Apple's SSD option was a system of 32GB NVMe blade drive (NGFF connector) and Seagate 1TB 2.5" HDD, married together in software to become a Fusion drive. Non Fusion systems have just the 1TB Seagate HDD.
So, the most common reason an iMac comes across my bench is because it's either ridiculously slow, or it fails to boot at all. The most...
