    Thinkpad P71 BIOS Type 20HK BIOS needed.

    Hey everyone.

    I've got a Lenovo Thinkpad P71 Type 20HK with a DP710 NM-B121 board Revision 3.0 that's bricked with no backup.

    Hoping someone can help with the original? Thank you.

    Do you have an SPI programmer, if so what model is it and the software version.

      Have a laptop that appears to have failed BIOS update and bricked itself. I was able to flash another P71 bios I found here and got it to boot, but I believe it's a different configuration and there is some bugginess.
      If anyone would be able to help it would be greatly appreciated !

                Hello.
                Please disable Computrace from this dump.
                Bios is unlocked.

                  I did, but this thread is for bios backup, not for computrace removal. I thought it will be a thread hijack.
                  Anyway, i disable it my self. Thank you!

                    Tried another bios that a skilled user sent me but the Computrace situtation persists, i reset RTC and load defaults on BIOS but still the same. How is that possible?

                    Rollback bios to older possible version ( 1.31 ), reset security chip, reset fingerprint (just in case), same issue.

                      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 all!
                      Need bios for this model
                      Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 3 (type 21C7, 21C8) Laptops (ThinkPad) - Type 21C7
                      Serial Number: PW04FZBA
                      Link to all information about this laptop

                      The problem is laptop won't to start. Some man wanted to do BIOS update, and in some time it crashed and turned off.
                      Playing with "bottom button", disconnect/connect battery/cmos battery, ssd, RAM etc. didn't help.
                      When I want to start laptop, it turns on, fan spinning, but after 2-3 sec stopping spin and laptop not responding. Sometimes blink Esc+F1+F4 LEDs,...

                      Fixed: Lenovo P14s Gen 1 (type 20Y1, 20Y2) Laptop (ThinkPad) bricked by a withdrawn BIOS update (r1buj82w)
                      by akwky
                      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...

                      M715q Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 10M3 - Request bios chip location and useable bios for use with CH341A Programmer.
                      by hotcrossedbuns999
                      My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
                      1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
                      2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
                      3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this
