    T470S - TPM issue since TPM/BIOS update from Windows Update


    Hello,

    Many thanks for the high quality ressources available on your website.

    I'm currently facing some issues with my T470S:

    - I sat a Supervisor Password using special chars which was causing issues
    - Access to BIOS was locked but I was still able to use my PC

    2 weeks ago, I got an update of BIOS/TPM from Windows Update.

    Computer restarted and after Lenovo logo a loading bar appeared and at the end something went wrong + an error popped.

    Computer restarted one more time and I got the prompt for typing Bitlocker password.

    I managed to boot into Windows and saw that TPM wasn't working anymore. PC in sleep mode would sometime beep with the code 0285.


    Since I was locked from accessing the bios I used the patch unlock supervisor password and successfully managed to go to BIOS but Security Chip option is missing.
    I tried using the TPM Updater from Lenovo and reported version is 0.0.

    Do you have any idea to fix that ? Thank you !

    Try removing all passwords from bios, then download and run bios update from Lenovo site

      Hi! Thanks for your answer!

      i already removed all passwords from bios. I tried to update the bios again, but the update program won't flash because they are the same versions.

            I don't know if it could help, but shutdown from Windows is not working and is only locking the session.

            Sleep mode put the PC in a weird state. If i push the button I get the beep code for TCG error and I can only reboot…

            any idea?

            thanks in advance!
