Hello guys. I have a thinkpad X240 with BIOS lock
, when you turn it on only a padlock appears, the client says she does not remember the password. I thought that perhaps the solution would be to reprogram the 25Q128V memory, but searching for information in this forum I found that the solution is to follow the steps that appear in the following link:

https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...emoval?t=87588

I have several problems, a friend managed to patch the BIOS following the instructions in the link, but once I soldered the memory again I have not been able to get it to unlock.
Reading the responses to the tutorial that my colleague Knucklegrumble uploaded, I realized that I did not find any response that simply said "thank you, it worked for me", I only saw responses with terms that I really did not understand. Has anyone been able to unlock this type of laptop with these steps or with others?

Would someone be so kind as to give me the step by step instructions? Either from the link I posted or some effective method.

Just in case I upload the original backup of the locked laptop

Thank you so much

I failed to detail that with the patched memory, when you turn it on, you hear 2 cycles of 4 beeps, after that the lock appears, when I get to the step of pressing the space bar twice the following appears:

Just found out that my laptop had HDD password also, that's why it always asked again for the BIOS password, but after removing HDD it doesn't ask password and it seems that it has gone already..


Thanks

Hi everyone, I’m currently working on recovering a bricked Lenovo X240

Model: Lenovo ThinkPad X240
Motherboard: VIUX1 NM-A091 REV:1.0
Processor: Intel Celeron 2957U
BIOS Chip: Winbond W25Q128FV
Programmer: CH341A + SOIC8 clip
Software: AsProgrammer 1.4.1

Laptop was bricked, no boot, fan spins briefly and shuts down. After flashing a .bin file (recommended online), system now stays powered on and fan spins constantly — but still no display, no POST.
Flashing went clean (Erase → Program → Verify), CRC valid, no error. CMOS has been reset and chip verified post-flash. Suspecting BIOS file mismatch or ME/EC region issue.
Looking for a working BIOS .bin for X240 (Celeron, VIUX1 NM-A091) that includes full ME and EC firmware.

Any help or clean dump would be appreciated. Thanks!

post merged..next time look for a thread with the name and model, motherboard model of the laptop, and post there, if you can't find it, then make a new thread..

Sticker bottom case is missing, DMI region was blank on BIOS dump. I will inject SN manually after flashing.
Attaching original backup dump before flashing — board was bricked with it. Any help with full working .bin for X240 Celeron (NM-A091 Rev.1.0) is much appreciated.

Thanks,
