    Help! Can't Access BIOS Lenovo G580

    Hi everyone,
    I have a lenovo g580 with and HDD Drive with Windows 10 installed (v1909) (UEFI with secure boot disabled and Virtualization Enabled), bought an SSD Drive to gain speed, created a bootable USB Stick loaded with Windows 10 (v20H2) UEFI mode created with Rufus without changing anything in BIOS settings, proceeded with the installation everything loaded correctly installed all the needed drivers, everything was good, until I installed VMWare Workstation, when I found out that Virtualization Is DISABLED !!! and then I tried to access BIOS settings with no luck, always getting System/Video BIOS Shadowed.
    tried Recovery button the Novo Button Menu comes up with BIOS Setup but no luck, always getting Phoenix SecureCore Tiano.
    Also tried to access UEFI through Windows advanced boot Options, I get System/Video BIOS Shadowed too.
    What I don't understand, how did secure boot activate, 'cause I'm 100% sure that I did not activate it, I suspect windows installation process did.
    I've installed 100+ computers never had that kind of issues
    If I put back my old HDD windows loads but then freezes with a BSD (because of secure boot).
    Tried to flash the BIOS in windows even that didn't work, I'm out of options 'cause I need Virtualization,
    If I change the CPU (Currently I have an intel core i3 2nd gen) with an intel Pentium B960, would that change something or reset BIOS settings !! just a thought.
    Or my last option is to re-program the BIOS through a programmer !!
    Thanks in advance.

      Need Custom BIOS (UEFI/Dualboot) for Lenovo Chromebook 100e Gen 3
      by GuiTi
      Hey everyone!
      I need help with my Lenovo Chromebook 100e Gen 3.
      Here are the details:
      • Motherboard: LA-L131P
      • MFG Date: 2022/01/07
      • MTM: 82J80001BR
      • MO: MPNXB2103001
      • Factory ID: LI123

      I bought a new Winbond 25Q128FVSG chip.
      The chip currently on the board is the same model but with different ending letters.
      I can’t use the CH341 clip on the chip that’s on the board because it’s too low-profile and doesn’t make proper contact.

      The Chromebook is Google account locked, and I’ve already tried everything.
      I understand that I need to replace or...

      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

      Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
      by Wahaz
      Hello,

      I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
      So I thought it was a Bios problem.
      I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

      Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 Desktop - Corrupt BIOS
      by grimacelord
      Hello there.

      I am working on a Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 desktop that currently has a corrupt BIOS and I have been unsuccessful thus far in trying to fix it myself.

      History:

      1. This computer came to me initially with an error message that said "BiInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001" or "0135 fan error". It would always be one of the two errors. It should be noted that when it produced the fan error, there was no physical problem with the fans. They were all spinning just fine.

      I searched for this error online and discovered...

      Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

      Hello everyone,

      I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

      This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

      I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...
