    Wanting Lenovo Thinkpad P15 Gen 1 BIOS dump

    I don't own a P15 Gen 1, but I would like to look at the BIOS to see if I (or someone else) can mod it to have CSM before I try buying one. Lenovo BIOS files are weird, so I would like a dump from the device itself to analyze.

                  What model is your programmer and software version. What part number is the bios chip. Are you using the programmers Auto-detect or choosing the chip manually. Does the programmer detect the correct chip part number.

                    I used both ezp2019+ and ch341 i managed to pass the verify error but dont getting any response when is back at the laptop the original damaged chip was a windbond 25Q256JVEQ 2031 6016 42 100 The one i wanted to use is the GIGADEVICE AP1839 25Q256DYIG U8B424
                    Read both specs and they seem to be the same or im missing something thanks in advance for all your help

                        Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 1 i7 (20U4) Bios and EC dump needed
                        by Joluvillas
                        Hi all! I was reading on tutorials how to flash a bios to remove password from a bios, and I ended up reading the EC chip instead of the main bios chip, it only gave me a .bin file of 1,024kb, I learned later that that is the EC chip not the main bios chip (I should have read the tutorials here instead before attempting anything, my bad), I went to flash the original backup, the 1,024kb size file into the same chip and laptop is not powering up anymore. I may have screwed the chip or even the motherboard (Hopefully not), I am trying to see if there is a fix before I discard it. I had a couple...

                        First, the data in brief:
                        Manufacturer: Lenovo
                        Model: ThinkPad L15 G3 21C3-0016GE

                        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

                        Fixed: Lenovo P14s Gen 1 (type 20Y1, 20Y2) Laptop (ThinkPad) bricked by a withdrawn BIOS update (r1buj82w)
                        by akwky
                        Hi!
                        Went dumpster-diving and found a bricked Lenovo P14S in trash, few weeks earlier. Symptoms - no screen, no POST, no beep, just keyboard LEDs flashing on powerup. Mute button+LED was responding though, and the display self-test was still working (via the key combo Ctrl+Fn+Power held for some seconds, see the Service manual).

                        Incidentally, Windows 11 have recently started auto-flashing computer BIOS in our region. Even more suspiciously, Lenovo has released a BIOS update just few days before the PC was trashed. About a week later, the BIOS update image has been oficially marked...

                        Need BIOS Dump/ROM for Lenovo Thinkstation p500
                        by AHmad_Salal
                        Hello all,
                        I have a Lenovo Thinkstation P500 that is stuck at post with no display, it happened after I changed the memory timings in bios. I can not clear CMOS using the jumper on the motherboard, also tried re-flashing bios suing a USB stick but it also doesn't work. The only solution that I can think of right now is re-flashing the bios chip using an external programmer but the problem is that I don't have the bios dump of p500 for flashing externally and I don't know the location of bios chip. If someone can provide the bios dump and bios chip location it would be really helpful....
