    ThinkPad P40 Bios help

    When connected to the power brick, the power light turns on and the FN key lights up. The fan also spins, but there is no display, either on the lcd or over HDMI.

    If I remove the ram, it does beep.

    I don't have the serial number or the actual model number, but it is a P40 with the board number 14283-2 448. 05107.0021. I download one from the forum for 14283-2 448. 05106.0021, but now even the ram warming beep is absent.

    Help is much appreciated!

      Since I posted the request, I have familiarized myself with the process of cleaning the ME region of the bios. UEFITOOL reported an ME version of 11.8.70.3626, which I downloaded and wrote to the extracted bios. After flashing this cleaned bios, now the beep is back but the display is still off, both on the LCD and via the HDMI. Since someone else worked on this laptop before, I wonder whether he flashed the wrong bios with the wrong ME version. If someone has a working bios for the board (agan 14283-2 448. 05107.0021), I highly appreciate if you can share it. Thanks!

          Lenovo Thinkpad X1 carbon 11th Gen BIOS problem
          by MaxonDomkrat
          Hi everyone.

          I have an engineering sample of a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 11th Gen (TYPE 21HM-2FVT05, S/N PF-40G7CD) with an Intel Core i7 1360P (ES – Intel 0000). Since this is an engineering sample, the BIOS had a massive number of various settings. One day, I was experimenting with the BIOS settings and, after saving them, the laptop stopped booting and played a melody after pressing the power button, signaling error code 0002 (Internal bus error), just like in this post: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...shooting-lapto...

          First, the data in brief:

          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:

          Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 3 ,How to know if the BIOS is corrupted
          by Loki_Fido
          Hi everyone, hope everyone's having a great day.

          I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 3 for repair. (20LES3T900)
          I looked in every corner and the laptop seems fine. Its pulling 500mA but no display, no noise, nothing.

          So I assume its a BIOS issue. I downloaded the BIOS with CH341A and opened it on ME Analyser and didn't receive any errors.
          Does this mean the BIOS is fine? making it a hardware issue?

          I downloaded fresh BIIOS from the Lenovo site and used Hex Editor replace the Lenovo's BIOS into my BIOS region. But the file size ended up being...
