    How to add missing information in Lenovo desktop and all in one pcs?

    Is there a Windows-based software like HP BCU for Lenovo desktop ( IdeaCentre, ThinkCentre, ThinkStation ) and all-in-one pcs to enter/ edit missing information after bios repair? I searched online but most videos are focused on laptops and Dos-based tools which don't support all types of machines.

          A mixture of different methods,depending on the bios/board vendor.

          Some of the official bios update software can often be used, check for the "Installation instructions" text file on the bios downlods support page

          A hex editor,and UEFITool.

          DMI Tools.

            Perhaps, it would be good at this point to be specific on what the machine is so SMDFlea or someone else can help with specific support pages that can help you.

              Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 Desktop - Corrupt BIOS
              by grimacelord
              Hello there.

              I am working on a Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 desktop that currently has a corrupt BIOS and I have been unsuccessful thus far in trying to fix it myself.

              History:

              1. This computer came to me initially with an error message that said "BiInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001" or "0135 fan error". It would always be one of the two errors. It should be noted that when it produced the fan error, there was no physical problem with the fans. They were all spinning just fine.

              I searched for this error online and discovered...

              Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH - BIOS Serial number missing
              by TecnicaNTT
              Hi all,

              I got a Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH on the bench with a botched BIOS (somehow my client blanked it). I restored the laptop and got it up and running with original BIOS from Lenovo Support website.
              My problem is now that the machine details are missing in the BIOS (Serial Number, MTM, etc.)
              I tried to write the details with the Lenovo Uone Tool but had now luck. It is giving me an error: "ERROR: Locate protocol with LenovoEeprom, Status=[e]. EEPROM fail when reading or writing data."
              I am now asking here for help if anyone knows how to do this in...

              Lenovo Ideapad S400 turns off when booting into any OS desktop
              by keepread
              I've been using this laptop for quite some time w/o battery. It has Linux installed. Recently, someone sent me a web link in an instant messenger. When I clicked on that link the laptop turned off that instant, before the browser even loaded to open it. Since then it turns off several seconds after I start it up and log into the Linux graphical desktop. I can see the mouse cursor moving around the screen when I draw my finger on the touchpad or move the mouse, and then a terminal window begins to load because the desktop autostarts it from last time, and then I hear a pop from the speakers and...

              Lenovo 300-15IBR - No SYSON, no SUSP#, bunch of missing voltages
              by mat2k
              Hello, I've been struggling with this one today. I'm troubleshooting a Lenovo 300-15IBR (board BMWC1/BMWC2 NM-A471) that turns on the power LED and does a bit of fan spin but nothing else. 3v3sb and 5vsb present, no 1.05v, no 1.35vddr, no vcore, no 1.8vsb.
              BIOS has been reflashed with one I found here, supposedly tested OK by someone else. I don't have an EC programmer unfortunately.
              I looked around and SYSON is 0v, SUSP# is 0v too. Forcing them to 3v3 enables the 1.35v rail, but the 1.05v and 1.8v rails are still missing (generated by PU704). EN_1P05A signal is 3.3v, and IN_1P05A...
