            I`m not sure if this model can be patched,or if it can only be done via JTAG. Do you have a programmer to backup and edit the EC chip.Is it an NPCE68Pxxxx

              In this model, the pwrd is stored in mec, that's why I want to put the equipment under warranty since I have a sas programmer (Turkish copy) that I have not been able to activate... that's why I'm looking at the option to put this equipment under warranty but i need the serial number.

                remove ssd , it seems you have a storage password. Usually, when you have a SVP password you can enter in bios to see settings but you can't modify them.

                  If you're right friend... I removed the ssd and was able to access it... also I just discovered that the serial number comes on a sticker on all lenovos...

                        just resolve also the issue on Product Name and System Board SN.

                        System Unit SN and Machine Type Model = thru a barcode (sticker) at the bottom
                        Product Name and System Board SN = thru a QR code (sticker) at the motherboard

                        thank you...

                            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....

                            Hello everyone,

                            First, the data in brief:
                            Manufacturer: Lenovo
                            Model: ThinkPad L15 G3 21C3-0016GE
                            motherboard: LG4 LT5 ADL RT UMA MB 8L - 448.0PZ26.0011

                            EC Chip: NPCX997KAABX

                            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

                            Should I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with bios password?
                            by RMDUiFT
                            Good day. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong topic. I saw somebody selling a Thinkpad E495 with a Ryzen 3500U CPU near me. In the pictures the laptop is running windows 10. I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password. I searched through the forum, I found a guide regarding removing the bios password using the autopatcher, I also found a thread with the e495 where people requested help with unlocking the bios password.

                            I have a few questions:
                            • If I would buy this laptop and have

                            by TecnicaNTT
                            Hi all,

                            I got a Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH on the bench with a botched BIOS (somehow my client blanked it). I restored the laptop and got it up and running with original BIOS from Lenovo Support website.
                            My problem is now that the machine details are missing in the BIOS (Serial Number, MTM, etc.)
                            I tried to write the details with the Lenovo Uone Tool but had now luck. It is giving me an error: "ERROR: Locate protocol with LenovoEeprom, Status=[e]. EEPROM fail when reading or writing data."
                            I am now asking here for help if anyone knows how to do this in...

                            by maanee11
                            Hello Everyone,

                            I have Thinkpad T560 Which has corrupted BIOS. I have acquired Ch341A SPI flasher to program the BIOS externally. I see that to program the BIOS, i need a bin file for the BIOS. I was able to extract the .exe file of BIOS from Lenovo given here in this link:

                            https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/p...me=BIOS%2FUEFI

                            In the extracted files, I see that BIOS containing file has extension .FL1 and I need to extract or convert it...
