Need bios dump for Lenovo Thinkpad X240

[ordinateur]

Hello all.
I have a X240 with the same problem password in BIOS
I tried autopatcher but after the procedure of writing original BIOS it again at the same screen with password

The most interesting laptop ever. After writing the patch created by autopacther and I go through the procedure of DXE driver pressing enter two times and space bar 2 times and then writing the original BIOS it just returns at the padlock

Type 20AL-CT01WW
SN: PC-02H44H 14/12

Anybody who can help me ?

thanks

Attached the read BIOS from the 16 MB Winbond chip

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

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:

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

Hi!
I installed the bin in this post
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...3&postcount=48

it already shows a me firmware version, and is faster to appear the lenovo logo, but after 1st reboot, when starting boot, it goes off and on automatically 3 times and now I'm getting this error in bios (pitcture attached)

Its a I7 4600U CPU and bios chip is W25Q128FV

I'm newbie, its the first time that I'm dealing with bios problems, so any help is welcome.
Thanks

Hi

After update the bios to 2.49, the computer died, and dont turn on anymore.
Thinkpad x240 NM-A091 v1.0 date 2013-04-17

I was not able to able to backup the original bios because it fails always the reading, so I tried programing the bios.

After lots of attempts, finally i was able to flash the bios, and now the bios already reads and writes well.

I flashed the bios in this post
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...8&postcount=20
and the computer wakes up finally.

the computer now is booting, but takes to long to boot, since I press the on button until the lenovo logo appear, takes more than 40 seconds.

I noticed that it don't have the ME firmware installed, I tried to flash another bins from this thread, always the same, no ME installed. i tried to download the ME from lenovo page, to install it thought windows, but always get a message no ME installed and fails.

How can I install the ME firmware. Any help is welcome!
Thanks

FIXED!

I've managed to bend back that pin and it's all working now

Considering the history of this motherboard (which I previously didn't share because I thought it was irrelevant), it seems to make sense now.

This laptop originally came with the i5 motherboard (the one I've referred as a "spare" in my previous posts) and I bought that i7 motherboard with a "no picture" issue. The issue was a corroded pin in the DIMM slot...most probably the same pin which was now bent. I've fixed it by simply cleaning that pin and was using this machine with the i7 motherboard for more than 6 months without any issues. I even did multiple memory tests after cleaning that pin to be sure it was working and also verified the contact of the pin with a multimeter.

I'm not sure how it got bent (I didn't open that machine until it was already bricked) but my theory is that it somehow came lose and caused a memory problem which failed that forced BIOS update.
