        This is not the Main BIOS chip, I think there should be another chip on your motherboard (16MB or 32MB).

            Thanks for your answer.
            Yes, there is one more winbond chip but it's BGA. Unfortunately do not have a BGA reader at this moment.

              I'll try as soon as I get 64mb BGA chip reader.

                Sorry I was wrong the chip is SMD.
                I'll find the right reader board to solder and let you know the result.

                Thank you!

                    Hi. I have the same motherboard for which you gave the bios file. I write the chip - but then the laptop does not turn on.
                    Can you help me unlock my bios file?​

                      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

                      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...

                      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
