    Lenovo s145-15api work fine after bios flash for some time, like a few restarts or power cycles.

    Hi! I have a Lenovo s145-15api Ryzen 5 3500u, he need a bios reflash, i made that (tried with ch341a and ezp2023+). I tried a lot of dumps, and all do the same, so i think is a hardware problem. So after reflash, laptop work fine a short time, after some restart or power on/off, the laptop have again same symptoms, need a new bios. Do it again and again and same result. What are u think is the problem?

    Some component is either bad or issue like dry solder near Bios chip. Its the heat which is making it work.

    Dont flash bios this time when it stops working and instead heat the bios chip a bit and see if it comes alive for the time being.

        Help Disabling Flash Protection Range Registers on Lenovo P360 Tiny BIOS
        by abhorsen
        Hey guys,

        Hope you all are doing well. I come here from Win-Raid because I am having issues disabling Flash Protection Range Registers so I can flash my BIOS from within Windows using Intel's IFW tool/using flashrom within Linux, however I cannot due to the above mentioned error.

        Here is my thread on Win-Raid detailing the whole process I went through: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/re...h-gen/95478/27

        Essentially I managed to boot into Windows while shorting PINs 1+5 of my audio chip to disable the HAP bit...

        Is it okay to flash stock bios onto the motherboard's BIOS?
        by AkaBukai
        Hi there,
        I have a 14" Lenovo Laptop (Flex 5 14ALC05) which has a boot issue.
        The little LED on the power button is flashing slowly and nothing happen.
        This unit do not have any BIOS button cell battery so I tried many times draining the power but it is still not powering on.

        So I decided to flash the BIOS using a cheap programmer.
        And I was successfully able to read the content (exactly 16MB file) which BTW is a WINBOND 74m12jwsiq (according to the package inscription - but detected as W25Q128FW in the software - IMSProg on Linux)

        I also...

        Panasonic CF-20G0247VM BIOS Bad Flash Help
        by James Jackson
        I usually try to figure these things out on my own but am asking for help now as I have been beating my head against a wall.

        Backstory, I initially ended up with a CF20 Mk2 with a locked BIOS. I used aptio to read the BIOS and made the adjustments to the .rom file and attempted to write it back with aptio before reading other users problems with that setup. Well it bricked the BIOS go figure. Computer no longer boots, black screen. I found a clean BIOS on this forum but now I am having ME issues. So I would rather hand over the aptio dump(pre BIOS brick) and a hardware reader dump(post...

        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....
