    Need help with Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 6

    I had a customer bring their laptop in as they attempted to change the boot logo and did not follow the instructions to keep the size to the requirements and went full 4k to which then bricked their BIOS (Powers on but no POST). I attempted to take a BIOS image from an identical model I had and cleaned ME but now that laptop has a system board error when I put the chip back on board. Thanks to Lenovo for gluing the BIOS chip down which made it difficult to remove. I did make sure nothing was knocked while removing the glue and getting the chip off. Now I'm thinking the U89 chip next to it that was glued might have been disturbed to a point that its not making connection after the heat I applied to get the U49 chip off. Something I need to work on.

    Anyways, the customers laptop attempt with the identical model BIOS with cleanME did not work for me. I was wondering if someone can help me fix (get back to the proper bootlogo) the customers original BIOS and clean the ME as I attempted a few tries and could not get it to go. Maybe I'm missing something as I'm pissed at myself for wrecking my own laptop to fix theirs.

    Model - Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 6 20Y0-S5HY0K
    Serial number PF-3E518H
    Board NM-341

    ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
    by DynaxSC
    Hi

    I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
    The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
    The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
    The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

    I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

    Lenovo laptop does not turn on, what does this number mean in a BIOS chip?
    by thxd43
    Hello, first of all, excuse me, I am using the translator, English is not my native language.

    I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S - 14IKB laptop.



    The tablet did not recognize me when I connected it, so I checked the device manager and I realized that there were many with the exclamation mark, so one by one I began to update their drivers until the sign disappeared of admiration, I even updated the BIOS, and the laptop rebooted normally and worked, so far so good, but the tablet still did not recognize me, I read on the internet that it could be due to a...

    Looking for a way to read this bios chip. Lenovo Yoga 7 16arp8 bios chip.
    by redbaron1007
    I'm working on a lenovo yoga 7 16arp8 that had a bad charge port. When I replaced the port the laptops charge light will come on and stay on now, but when I push the power button the power light will come on for a couple seconds and then go right back out. I'm suspecting a bad bios, but when I went to read the bios to start the process of getting a new one it I found that none of my programmers will read the IC. I mainly use a T48 with Xgpro. I also have a ch341 and it's software that I use for ps5 uart and bios's, and a EZP2019+ and it's software.

    The chip is labeled MXIC MX77u2565ofz4142...
