            The DMI in your backup is corrupt, that can stop it from booting . As there are no stickers on your laptop and the DMI is corrupt try this bios https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...27#post1776627

                        Lenovo IdeaPad 3 - Hard Disk not recognized in BIOS
                        by mkdj
                        Dear all,

                        I have recently fixed a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 ALC6 that was not booting due to a BIOS issue. After flashing the BIOS, the laptop boots up, but hard disk is not recognized in BIOS. Is says "Hard Disk : Not Installed". I have tried with 2 different drives (one that I know is working on another laptop) but I get the same result. I do not know if disks were recognized before I got the laptop and fix it, but I don't see any reason why not. I can boot on USB though.

                        Here the steps I have taken to fix the laptop:
                        - downloaded latest BIOS from Lenovo Website...

                        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,...

                        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
