Lenovo 11E8 M70Q DIFFERENT FROM 11DT. REQUEST BIOS PLEASE

[curiousnoobguy]

Hi

I have the same machine, Lenovo M70q 11E8.
Since the chip is locked, is buying a blank chip and install the original BIOS will work if replaced?

Thank you in advance

I've managed to flash both .bin files to the 16MB and 8MB chip, it powers on for a second then it turns back off. Nothing pops up on the screen. What should I do or how should I go about it?

Perhaps installing Windows on a Chrome OS machine is impossible.

Hi, I just want to ask if replacing the two ICs could help resolve the chip-lock issue, and if it’s safe to use the firmware uploaded by Sr. hoaca388 after injecting the DMI data from the original ChromeOS dumps. I was unable to erase the chip due to an SR lock issue that cannot be set to unprotect. Even after setting WP pin 3 high and connecting WP pin 7 to pin 8 with 3.3V power from the CH341A programmer, the issue still remains.

I believe someone here might be able to help, since we have several computers donated from Amazon that are affected by this issue. These machines are intended for the children in our school, but unfortunately, they cannot use them because of the corporate ChromeOS lock.

Thank you for reading my post.
