    I soldered the chip, flashed this dump, soldered it back. The laptop started up, the self-healing process began. Now everything is OK, as before.

    Thanks for your dump!

                What software have you used to read the dump ?

                    Hello, after the update, the cooler just turns on. I have also flashed other BIOSes but it is the same. Maybe you can fix it so that it turns on self-healing. Many people here have this problem. Please help me too. Thanks in advance.

                                    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

                                    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...

                                    Please I need help.

                                    Quick rundown long story shorter, but still long winded.
                                    I received this Lenovo P1 GEN 1 about a year ago from a business.

                                    It was pretty much dead hit the power button and the LED on the power light would come on as would the keyboard back light a couple times and just shut off or go into high speed fan mode without life other than the power button led.

                                    At that time it was still under warranty, I spoke to Lenovo and I was going to send it in to have them repair it.

                                    Then late last fall my father-in-law suffered...

                                    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...

                                    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
