    Lenovo L14 gen1 BIOS unknown supervisor pwd

    Hi All,

    I have looked through this forum before and found plenty of useful information. My problem unfortunately still persists.

    What I have tried:
    - grounding the pin during startup to get into bios - tried around 50 times as per guideline and video but to no effect.

    I would like to get a dump of this bios to look through it and patch it, but I am unsure which programmer to use and how to connect it. This is a TQFP so soldering is off the table.

    Could you recommend any programmer and link a guide so I can get BIOS dumped?

    Thanks in advance!

    Supervisor password has nothing to do with BIOS chip.
    It's stored in SIO NPCE68XX 256kb.
    This can be read/write with SVOD4 or Vertyanov and looks like this attached dump.
    Good Luck!

        Thanks , works for me with both SVOD4 and Vertyanov .

        For SVOD 4 : you should put SPI speed to 3 Mhz and the battery pluged in to work correctly, the size is 256Kb .

            Well, as i said, the trick is to change the SPI speed to 3hz, and don't remove the battery and the 3V battery, to stop the laptop from turning ON when pluging the adapter. after that you can read and write the EC slowly but garanteed.

              Help needed in unlocking BIOS Supervisor password - Lenovo X1 Yoga 5th Gen
              by baaligoga
              Good day, everyone!

              I'm encountering an issue with my Lenovo X1 Yoga 5th Gen laptop related to the BIOS supervisor password. I'm seeking assistance and guidance from the knowledgeable members of this community in resolving this problem.

              I am no expert and cannot perform soldering or unsoldering of the chip from the board. Therefore, I attempted to use an EZP 2023 programmer with a clip to extract the BIOS bin file without removing the BIOS chip from the motherboard. The BIOS chip has the following letters imprinted on it: "Winbond 25Q80DVNIG 2026". I used the...

              Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
              by Wahaz
              Hello,

              I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
              So I thought it was a Bios problem.
              I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

              Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 Desktop - Corrupt BIOS
              by grimacelord
              Hello there.

              I am working on a Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 desktop that currently has a corrupt BIOS and I have been unsuccessful thus far in trying to fix it myself.

              History:

              1. This computer came to me initially with an error message that said "BiInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001" or "0135 fan error". It would always be one of the two errors. It should be noted that when it produced the fan error, there was no physical problem with the fans. They were all spinning just fine.

              I searched for this error online and discovered...

              Lenovo IdeaPad 330 15-AST 81D6 BIOS Recovery
              by jendkkd jeje
              So a couple of years ago i got a bios update through Lenovo Vantage, so i installed it and bricked my whole BIOS, so i couldn't fix it so i put that ideapad in a box, 3 years later i found that one PC and want to recover it to switch from a 2014 hp laptop to this one.

              I found a method to recover the BIOS of many lenovo laptops tha consists in pluging in a USB Flash with the BIOS files and power on the laptop with Fn + R keys pressed until fans go loud and start beeping loud, but nothing worked, so i think filename is wrong, i tried naming the bios file as 07WW.BIN, BIOS.BIN, BIOS.fd,...
