    Lenovo x230i Tablet BIOS REQ

    Hi all, my first post here. I was recommended this place, I've got a recently acquired x230i tablet running BIOS version 2.51 (GCET91WW). Some sort of supervisor password is set and I cannot access any of the secureboot etc settings. I've dumped the bios (both chips) with a CH341a and verified the dumps. I tried the autopatcher to no avail. Attached are the files, in a drive link as BadCaps wouldn't let me upload .bin's. Any help with this would be fantastic and much appreciated. The laptop boots fine, and posts to bios.

          Thanks for the reply! I don't know if this will reply directly, I've never really used forums before. Will 7zip allow me to convert .bin to .ext? Is that what you're saying? If so that'd be great!
          Cheers

                  Hi there, Yep, i'm aware of 7zip and WinRar, but my .bin files are in the google drive folder linked in the post... What do you want me to do with 7zip? Compress to a zip and attach? Are you able to help patch my bios? Thank you ever so much!!

                              Thanks, I have compressed and attached the dumps of both chips to this reply and I will go back to the original post and edit them in there too.
                              I appreciate all of your patience and advice.

                              Edit: unable to attach to original post.

                                  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

                                  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,...

                                  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

                                  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...
