My brother! You and I are in the same boat. I have this exact model and am searching from answers on the internet on how to wipe the operating system and install anything else (either linux or windows).

I am a layman on this area, so this is all very new to me. However, I already ordered a CH341A and as soon as it gets to me I'll start tinkering with the machine.

Apparently this is a special model where they put a lot of protections, even at a hardware level. Switching the jumper to delete/restore CMOS/BIOS didn't do anything, neither taking ou the cell-battery. And, apparently, just flashing these custom BIOS available to other models doesn't seem to work.

However, I have a couple of ideas I want to try (before attempting to downright replace the chips). If I have success doing so, I'll post on the forum.

Please, stay tuned - and also, if you get something good going, share as well!

Thanks for taking your time to reply to my message, never receive an email with the reply lol but yeah its kinda hard and sad not to find any info related to this, i think next week i will try to change any physical bios chip with a friend and see how it goes, wish me luck and ill let you know if this method work.

There is two bios chip on this machine. All chips OTP function activated and some partitions erase protected. You need change 16mb chip and flash your original dump. There is no other solution for now.

I already replaced the Chip, but I don't know which bios to configure since I used the ones above and it only turns on and then turns off.
Does anyone have one that works?
Thank you

hi

this is not programmer problem. 11E8 oem product for amazon costumer services. It uses Coreboot bios. All other models works with AMI bios. 11E8 only works with special chrome os for amazon. You can't replace bios beacuse there is very important security partition inside bios chip. you need check this pages.

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

why not use the soc8 clip?

Maybe it will give you junk file after reading.

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

With CH341A , do not use clip.

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

It doesn't turn on for me anymore, after trying with a CH341a, they know what I'm doing wrong in the m70q model.
Already with m710q I have achieved it successfully.
Do you know what it could be?

Thank you! I've actually followed all the step on that thread but it gave me this error. I really don't know why :'(

Use different software,there`s NeoProgrammer,Colibri and ASProgrammer ,you`ll find them all posted on the forum .Choose the chip manually,don`t use Auto-Detect .The chip part number is etched on top of it,select it from the support list.

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

Thank you I've already completed the process that you've mentioned but after that, my m70q doesn't boot anymore I've tried removing and placing back the battery and changing the position of the jumper wires but it's still not turning on. It's still receiving power since my flash drive led indicator was lighting up whenever i plug it in the usb slot. Is there anything that I can do to fix this?

Hi! Thanks for the help. I've tried using this bin file but is says the chip and the contents are in disagreement whenever I tried verifying using ch341a tool.

Hi
If you trying to verify the contents of this file against your chip then it will be in disagreement.
Need to make sure chip is making proper contact with the programmer.
Empty chip, Blank check it.
then burn and verify.
