    please help friends thinkpad T470 board CT470 series NM-A931 error post "bottom cover tamper detection error"
    I've already
    flashed the bios clean me and updated from the Lenovo site, then removed the switch and immediately jumped the S3 from pins 1 to 4, 2 to 3 but the problem remained the same, thank you

    INTRUDER# netname has a '#' as a suffix. In the digital logic world, the hash-tag suffix denotes that the signal is active LOW. That is, if this line is ~0v = logic low, then the signal is active. So if 0v, INTRUDER alert.

    Respectively, remove the short applied between S3 pins 2-3. This will remove the hard short to ground and then the pull-up resistor (R646) on the same signal will be parked to the logic '1' state. Test again.

      Sorry sir, I am late in giving an answer, sir, I have removed the pin 2 to 3 jumper, and also replaced the R646 resistor but the results are still the same, thank you and where should I check again
      sw3
      pin1 3.3v -INTRUDER_PCH
      pin2 3.3v
      pin3 3.3v
      pin4 0v

      D5
      pin 1 3.3v
      pin2 3.3v -INTRUDER_EC

        The logic levels look correct to me since the parked state is a logic '1'.

        Review the BIOS settings under SECURITY to see if this setting can be disabled.

            I think the EC chip (Embedded Controller,MEC1653) may have a soldering defect.
            Place the motherboard steadily,and try heating the EC chip with a heat gun to 230°C for 1 minute.Then let it cool down naturally.

            Or you can also consider replacing the chip.Note that this chip has a built-in program. Please make sure that the spare part​ also has a program.

              [UPDATE]
              You may need to check whether these components are normal first. If they are damaged, this error will also occur.
