      Hi forum

      lenovo thinkpad X1 yoga, 4th gen- SN PF25B69C
      mainboard fx490 nm-b861

      I purchased my old work laptop, but it came locked with SUP password which wasn't really a problem until now. I decided to have a go removing it using the autopatch but subsequently find out 32mb BIOS doesn't work and the laptop died. I created 2 images of the old BIOS which were hash checked and tried to put 1 back after failing with the patch file , but I end up with a verification error whilst programming and the flash fails.

      I have tried to flash some of the X1 BIOS I have found on this site which do flash over but the laptop remains dead- just the orange power light.

      Have I bricked this for good or is there some hope!

      I attach my original BIOS dump

      many thanks for any help

      Just as a follow up, although this has been merged with X1 20QF, I actually need the BIOS for type 20G

              Thanks.
              Here. With corporate ME FW, same as your backup. If it boots ok run the bios update from lenovo support to update the EC FW.

                                    Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

                                    Hello everyone,

                                    I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

                                    This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

                                    I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

                                    by macabook
                                    Hello everyone,

                                    I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
                                    🧩 Initial Issue
                                    • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
                                    • External display (HDMI) shows
                                    ...

                                    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...

                                    BIOS Request - Lenovo Yoga L13 Gen3 (AMD)

                                    Hi dear Badcaps-Community,

                                    Somehow an auto update, which I triggered before I left my laptop unattended, bricked my BIOS.
                                    I was able to extract the 2MB BIOS and 16MB BIOS which I will attend. (CH341B black with NeoProgrammer 2.2.0.10)

                                    The Device is a Lenovo Yoga L13 Gen3 and I was able to identify the following specifications:

                                    Lenovo Yoga X1 Gen4 - Faulty Bios or what is going on?
                                    by AYsys
                                    Hello dear forum members,

                                    I own two Lenovo Yoga X1 Gen 4 laptops. One of them had a touchscreen problem, and I tried to fix it by externally flashing the BIOS. Unfortunately, I didn’t save the original BIOS and accidentally flashed it with a faulty one. After that, the device stopped working completely.

                                    I then had the idea to make a BIOS backup from the other Yoga X1 Gen 4 (same hardware) and flash it onto the non-working device.
                                    Nothing was flashed here — the BIOS was only backed up.

                                    I created the backup using a CH341A Black programmer and NeoProgrammer....
