    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)​

      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.

      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...

      2. Reboot and use the laptop for a bit : everything is working fine
      3. Shutdown (no power) and upgrade WIFI with unsupported chip (AX210)
      4. Boot up the device : bios warning, as expected
      5. Shutdown the device again (no power)
      6. Connect the 8-pin clip of a CH341a

      Thinkpad t480s, completely dead after BIOS flash using CH341A programmer
      by what_1282105
      Following this guide (https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/co...g_and_flashing) i re-flashed my t480s BIOS using an external (CH341A) programmer. The flash didnt work, so i reverted back to my BIOS backup successfully. The BIOS in the chip and the BIOS backup file are identical according to windows' file compare. The revert, however, didnt work: the only thing the computer does is flash the power button 3 times when AC power is connected. I've tried unplugging the CMOS battery, holding the reset button and holding down the power button- no signs of life....
