    Thinkpad E15 Gen 4 AMD NM-E501 bios

    Hello, I have a Thinkpad E15 Gen 4 laptop. It appears to be starting as I can hear the fan spin and the cpu gets properly hot. However, no video and no keyboard action on start

    I suspect corrupted BIOS. Please, someone help me clean the BIOS image. Thank you

      Hey, I applied the new BIOS. I can clearly see progress. Before the keyboard stayed dark. After applying the new BIOS, "Esc", "Caps Lock", "F1" and "F4" keys now briefly flash which is what I was expecting.

      They are supposed to flash 2 more times before getting the image on the screen but that didn't happen.

      Can you see whether you can make additional changes to the BIOS?

        No, your hardware is still not stable.

          The bios file you provided did make changes in the computer's behavior. As I mentioned before the changes, no keyboard lights. After the reflashing of the bios, computer attempts to boot with several keyboards keys flashing.

              Upon reflashing the bios with the new bin, I am now getting a brief screen flash as well as those 4 keys briefly lighting up. Then, nothing. Computer is now drawing a little more amperage, around 0.64 vs. 0.59 before

                      I tried this new BIOS file and I am still getting the same response from the computer. I suspect RAM could be faulty. The 4th gen of Thinkpad E14/15 comes with soldered 8GB of RAM for both Intel and AMD processors

                            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...

                            Lenovo Thinkpad P50 Bios Corrupted
                            by bannermast
                            Hello, it seems to me that my thinkpad P50's BIOS is corrupted. I tried to boot it up and the power button would only blink 3 times green. The serial number is missing from the bottom of the chassis so I'm not sure what to do. I hope it's not the motherboard that's broken......

                            Hello everyone,

                            First, the data in brief:
                            Manufacturer: Lenovo
                            Model: ThinkPad L15 G3 21C3-0016GE
                            motherboard: LG4 LT5 ADL RT UMA MB 8L - 448.0PZ26.0011
                            IC Bios 1: MX77L25650F
                            IC Bios 2​: MX25L25673G
                            EC Chip: NPCX997KAABX

                            So far I've been a silent reader, but now I need your help

                            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...
                            The laptop was brought in with a BIOS problem and a password. After reading the dump, the information was damaged. I ask for help in the BIOS with a clean ME region. Motherboard 213035-1. Serial number: PW+04e998, Type number: 21c3-0016ge

                            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:
                            • If I would buy this laptop and have
