    Lenovo laptop board no External Display in BIOS

    Hi,

    Need a little help with this one. I have one board that I need to use for a project, no complete laptop, board only. Board model is LA-A321p, from a Lenovo M30-70.

    After Windows boots, works fine, everything ok, but I can't seem to be able to get image in the HDMI before booting to Windows. I need to access the BIOS and I don't have an internal display.

    I have a friend with a complete, same model, laptop and I have tried accessing BIOS hidden Advanced Setting and changed the Primary Display options and nothing works (IGFX, PEG, PCI and SG).

    Also, this board doesn't have a dedicated GPU, could that be a problem?

    What can I do to try and have this working? I have a BIOS Programmer (EZP2019+) if that helps

    Thanks

      Does your model has a recovery button near power switch or on the sides of usb port?? If yes,try switching on with recovery button.

                  Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                  by Tynan Dill
                  I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                  Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                  I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                  The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                  With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                  Assuming...

                  Summary of BIOS Whitelist Removal Problem


                  Problem:
                  I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
                  Initial Findings:
                  • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
                  • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
                  • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
                  Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
                  • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
                  • I concluded that the

                  MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 - real bios dump from board needed (no stock bios)
                  by DynaxSC
                  Hi, I have an MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 board with damaged BIOS and i need a bios dump from a real board, along with MAC, UUID and Serial Number info (eg. a BIOS screenshot and pictures from the board stickers).

                  I need to reconstruct the bios on my board, based on another bios image form a real board - meaning a bios image containing MAC address, UUID and Serial number. A stock BIOS is not suffiecient, as it is impossible to discover where the MAC, UUID and SerialNumber are stored. Tried with a similar board, but there are too much differences, and the stock BIOS is missing a lot of...

                  Lenovo X240 - motherboard replacement for X250, no image.
                  by andrhouseolly
                  Friends. I beg you to help me in this situation.
                  Lenovo X240 with a video problem. Native Intel drivers are not installed,
                  after installation, a black screen. It works with the standard Microsoft driver.
                  Understanding that there are problems with the video core,
                  I ordered a motherboard from Lenovo X250.
                  The laptop turns on, starts up, there is no image on the internal display.
                  The image is output to the external monitor.
                  I ordered another motherboard from Lenovo X250.
                  The laptop turns on, starts up, there is no image on the internal display.
