            .
            Hello, I also have the Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 7 (Serial Number: PF-41RS91, Type Number: 21CE-S1521A ,Factory ID: JVHFC1) The Serial Number and Type Number are both on the casing as well as on the Mainboard. There is no other board model Number that i could find.
            I can't enter the UEFI settings because of Admin password lock. I read the 64Mbyte Winbond Chip (there is only one).
            I was unable to find the password patterns within the dump and the autopatcher didn't work either.

            Any help to clear the PW from the dump would be grately appreciated.

            (I was able to put dell lat. 9430 in factory mode by finding and editing 4Hex Values. However i need an unlocked and patched version as template which i cant find for this Model)

            Dump is attached CRC32: 682FEEBD

                  Oh ...
                  Really no solution at all ? Any hopes of a solution coming?

                  I know that shorting the contacts doesn't work on the mec1723..
                  But isn't there some way to clear only the PW from the dump? Or possibly enter a factory mode (as with dell 12th gen) with some Hex Magic
                  Could I try to flash a clear default bios, or is that doomed to fail ?

                  Thanks

                        Hello. Please help with this dump which has Absolute Persistence enabled and does not allow me to change it to disabled. If you could please help me with my dump or by providing a clean dump, I would greatly appreciate it.

                                      Hey all, I have a Lenovo X1 Yoga 1st Gen (model - 20FQ) with a locked BIOS. I would like to unlock it.

                                      Currently I have it apart in all its glorious bits looking for the security eeprom that I can't find. Plan was to jump it. Next step I think is to pull the BIOS IC and flash a decryption file to it?? I'm a bit confused on that process.

                                      1. Pull the BIOS IC,
                                      2. Read and save the original locked file
                                      3. Flash the decryption file
                                      4. Install and boot up and remove password from BIOS
                                      5. Remove BIOS IC again
                                      6. Flash Original locked...

                                      Lenovo Yoga 14IRH8 (N1CN) BIOS repair – corrupted after update
                                      by Jkay1994
                                      Hi,

                                      I have a Lenovo Yoga 14IRH8 (N1CN BIOS).

                                      The BIOS update via Windows failed and now the laptop does not boot:
                                      - Black screen
                                      - Fans spin
                                      - No POST
                                      - Crisis recovery attempts fail

                                      I have read the BIOS chip (Winbond 25R64JVSIQ, 8MB) using CH341A.

                                      I need help fixing the BIOS dump.

                                      Attached in zip files:
                                      - Original backup (backup1.bin)
                                      - Lenovo BIOS file (WinN1CN15WW.fd)

                                      Thanks in advance!...

                                      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...

                                      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
