    Hard drive has a password. Remove it and see if that makes it continue.

      Hi. On start I had the same idea, but even if I start laptop without HDD still requires a password.

        will this work?

        1
        Turn on or restart your IBM Thinkpad T60.

        2
        Watch for the message on screen that reads "To Interrupt Normal Startup." When you see this message, press and then release the blue button labeled "ThinkVantage" on your T60.

        3
        Highlight "Start Setup Utility" and press "Enter" to select it. This will unlock the BIOS on your IBM Thinkpad T60 and you will now be able to access it.

                              NO.
                              if you try to read a 24RF series the security mode will erase the content.

                                  you have to put it on first make sure u see the ibm logo before shorting the pins and then you press f1 immidiately

                                        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:

                                        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...

                                        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....

                                        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...
