    Thinkpad 11e unlocking bios

    Just wanted to specify whether it is possible to unlock the bios by shorting 5-6 pins for EEPROM. The method works for majority of thinkpads.

    The motherboard is LI6 DA0LI6MBAD0 REV: D
    (Processor is Intel Core M-5Y10c)โ€‹

    Lenovo Thinkpad X1 carbon 11th Gen BIOS problem
    by MaxonDomkrat
    Hi everyone.

    I have an engineering sample of a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 11th Gen (TYPE 21HM-2FVT05, S/N PF-40G7CD) with an Intel Core i7 1360P (ES โ€“ Intel 0000). Since this is an engineering sample, the BIOS had a massive number of various settings. One day, I was experimenting with the BIOS settings and, after saving them, the laptop stopped booting and played a melody after pressing the power button, signaling error code 0002 (Internal bus error), just like in this post: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...shooting-lapto...

    So far I've been a silent reader, but now I need your help

    I bought a laptop. The seller said the bios was locked. I was looking for a way to remove this ban.
    I then got the CH341A and pulled the corresponding files from here https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...evices-and-ele...
    The laptop was brought in with a BIOS problem and a password. After reading the dump, the information was damaged. I ask for help in the BIOS with a clean ME region. Motherboard 213035-1. Serial number: PW+04e998, Type number: 21c3-0016ge

    ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 โ€“ No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
    by macabook
    Hello everyone,

    Iโ€™m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, Iโ€™m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Hereโ€™s a full breakdown:

    • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
    • External display (HDMI) shows

    Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 3 ,How to know if the BIOS is corrupted
    by Loki_Fido
    Hi everyone, hope everyone's having a great day.

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 3 for repair. (20LES3T900)
    I looked in every corner and the laptop seems fine. Its pulling 500mA but no display, no noise, nothing.

    So I assume its a BIOS issue. I downloaded the BIOS with CH341A and opened it on ME Analyser and didn't receive any errors.
    Does this mean the BIOS is fine? making it a hardware issue?

    I downloaded fresh BIIOS from the Lenovo site and used Hex Editor replace the Lenovo's BIOS into my BIOS region. But the file size ended up being...
