    Lenovo Yoga 15 locked bios

    Hi there,
    My clients bios is locked. He bought it this was from a firm who were giving these away very cheap. The bios can be entered while pressing simply enter but nothing can be changed and all boot options are set to exclusive minus the lan card.
    The board is a ZIUS1 LA-B591P. Could really use a master password if there is one or some bios dump with schematic. Although I believe I located it but just to be sure.

    Thank you.

    Small bump for schematic. I managed to get a new bios but it still is locked and cant change anything within. I'm trying to locate where the SVP is on the board.

      The only way to do that is to replace the bios chip.

        The bios chip doesnt contain the key, already tested that. The key is locked away somewhere else, hence the need for a schematic.

            Maybe. Still, a schematic would be the best.

                How can we remove the BIOS pwd?

                Here's the schematic, as an attachement.

                      if no chip, it's in the EC then
                      it depends on the version

                      rest only Kb9022 ??

                      look here for Kb9022

                        That's bad news. I found it, it's an ENE KB9022Q chip with 124 pins.

                        Is it possible to read it with CH341? Maybe through the keyboard connector?
                        If I have the bin file could the lenovo tool remove the pwd or should I simply post here?

                          auto patch not working!
                          just post your file here
                          or compare if implementation is same and change 0x200 to 022F (look at pics)

                              Lenovo X1 Yoga 1st Gen (model - 20FQ) with a locked BIOS
                              by opensourcefan
                              Hey all, I have a Lenovo X1 Yoga 1st Gen (model - 20FQ) with a locked BIOS. I would like to unlock it.

                              Currently I have it apart in all its glorious bits looking for the security eeprom that I can't find. Plan was to jump it. Next step I think is to pull the BIOS IC and flash a decryption file to it?? I'm a bit confused on that process.

                              1. Pull the BIOS IC,
                              2. Read and save the original locked file
                              3. Flash the decryption file
                              4. Install and boot up and remove password from BIOS
                              5. Remove BIOS IC again
                              6. Flash Original locked...

                              Motherboard: [LLX-2 MB 213016-SB]

                              Bios is locked with a Password. I'm looking for a cleared bios bin to flash the laptop.

                              I attached my backup bios.

                              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

                              Lenovo Yoga X1 Gen4 - Faulty Bios or what is going on?
                              by AYsys
                              Hello dear forum members,

                              I own two Lenovo Yoga X1 Gen 4 laptops. One of them had a touchscreen problem, and I tried to fix it by externally flashing the BIOS. Unfortunately, I didn’t save the original BIOS and accidentally flashed it with a faulty one. After that, the device stopped working completely.

                              I then had the idea to make a BIOS backup from the other Yoga X1 Gen 4 (same hardware) and flash it onto the non-working device.
                              Nothing was flashed here — the BIOS was only backed up.

                              I created the backup using a CH341A Black programmer and NeoProgrammer....

                              Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
                              by Wahaz
                              Hello,

                              I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                              So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                              I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....
