*Remove all batteries (main battery and RTC battery).
*Patch the bios and make sure to verify it so there aren't any errors when writing.
*Hold down the small switch on motherboard (IF AVAILABLE)
*Connect charger (laptop should start automatically)
*Wait. It might even take minutes and laptop will beep/restart a few times.
Hi Motherboard Repair, I flashed both files and the T460 beeps 5 times with no display.
Did you follow procedure below ? is this the original dump ?
1. Remove The Battery CMOS . Also make sure laptop's main battery is out and disconnect the internal front battery if used (many new Lenovo may have an internal battery, the black box) by removing its connector from the motherboard. It is important that the laptop will have NO The main Battery attached and the NO Battery CMOS .
2. Insert other LOCK HDD OR SSD M.2 ( by the way use another laptop set up password lock HDD and remember your password )
3. ReFlash BIOS with patched file
4. The First Step Let Press Down and Still Keep Little Switch ( picture attached ) long time and The Second Step Let Plug in the AC adapter and wait for a few seconds, the laptop will start by itself (if not, press the Power button and start it). You may hear some beeps then you will see the Lenovo splash image, press F1 to get the SVP password prompt and enter "1234" for SVP and press Enter. Next page will showing "Press any key..". Wait about 10 to 12 seconds before pressing any Key. Next it will display the warning message and the laptop hardware ID. Do not disconnect the AC during this process!
if still same try these files first zip is your files second zip custom
Have only done a few thinkpad unlocks, but in my experience if the computer freezes after pressing F1 and goes to a blank screen, it means that supervisor password is NOT set. You may only have a power-on password set, which can be cleared by disconnecting cmos battery and internal battery (if any), leave them disconnected for at least one minute and then put them back.
If you are experiencing the blank screen after pressing F1, can also try to use a locked hard drive, that will make the patch work. ... my two cents.
