      Re: Need bios dump for Lenovo Thinkpad X240

      I have an X240 and an X250 here. The numbers on the motherboard seem to match (VIUX1 NM-A091 Rev:1.0 2013-04-17) and both boards don't work anymore. The X250 just turns on for a second and then shuts down and the X240 I was told didn't come up after a bios update. I dumped the BIOS-Chip from both. Can someone help me to fix them or tell me what to do so I can do it myself?

      Thank you in advance

          Hello to everyone.
          I have a Supervisor Password (Bios Password), in a Lenovo X240. I want to activate virtualization options so i can Run Virtualbox, but it hasks me for a password to acess the bios as a admin, because i can still acess it, but all the option changes are unavailable.
          I would like to ask some help from you in this, please.
          Attached is a CPUZ that shows the Lenovo X240 motherboard and Bios Version.

          Thanks in advance,

                      Re: X240 BIOS FILE/Clean ME HELP

                      [QUOTE=SMDFlea;967691]third bios fixed .

                      Hello everyone and SMDFlea! I have been dealing with laptop BIOS rewriting for a long time, but I haven't delved into how the BIOS file is actually structured. I have seen SMDFlea's description (thank you!), but I have not yet been able to solve the issue with the possibly faulty X240 BIOS file to make sure it is good. Currently, there is no image, and after plugging in the DC connector, there is a flash at the power button with short breaks (sometimes only 3).

                              OK, upload your bios backup here and someone will help patching the file for you.

                                          Re: Need bios dump for Lenovo Thinkpad X240

                                          Hi there,

                                          I tried everything with my dump, I can't figure it to work.

                                          Since a crash in bios settings after activate tpm 2.0, this bios seems to be broken. I got F1, F4, FN et power button blinking.

                                          I tried to flash some dumps from here and other forums. Sometime I got a BIOS (hourray!), with CRC error., thenI can't enter in BIOS Settings because of password required (???). My old password doesn't work.

                                          What's wrong with my original bios dump ? Please help me !

                                          Here's my dump: https://we.tl/t-a9H64kFWqF

                                          The (weak) bios password was azerty (or AZERTY)

                                            Hi all! I was reading on tutorials how to flash a bios to remove password from a bios, and I ended up reading the EC chip instead of the main bios chip, it only gave me a .bin file of 1,024kb, I learned later that that is the EC chip not the main bios chip (I should have read the tutorials here instead before attempting anything, my bad), I went to flash the original backup, the 1,024kb size file into the same chip and laptop is not powering up anymore. I may have screwed the chip or even the motherboard (Hopefully not), I am trying to see if there is a fix before I discard it. I had a couple...

                                            Hello everyone,

                                            Manufacturer: Lenovo

                                            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

                                            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...
