    Thinkpad T15p Gen 3 BIOS cleanup requested

    Hello,

    I have this Thinkpad T15p Gen 3 laptop. It starts normally with keyboard lighting up, I can hear the fan starts spinning, amps quickly reach about 1.7A without the battery, CPU gets hot. However, it is not posting.

    I suspect the BIOS is corrupted. I am providing 2 BIOS files as I see 2 BIOS 256Mb chips. I am also providing a photo of the chips' location on the motherboard.

    Model: Thinkpad T15p Gen 3
    S/N: PF-45G6VM
    Type: 21DA-000PUS
    Motherboard: NM-E221

    Thank you.

      I just don't get it. I know I attached the backup bios to my original message. Ok, here it is again. Sorry.

            I reflashed the chip using your file. Computer stopped responding to the power button, acting completely dead. All power rails are present.

              HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2523nd - Dimm2 slot disabled after corrupt bios repair? Advice requested.
              by Bloodhoundje
              Hi everyone,

              I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

              I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

              After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

              I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...

              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...
