Re: Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-15ARR - 330S_ARR_V06

The post #29 says:

enter the original bios of the laptop
But as i told you I don't have it.

And I said take the donor DMI (which is in the donor bios of course)

Now your option is to take a donor DMI block and edit the information from the stickers on your machine, including the Windows key.

...the problem is that I don't know how to replace the infos I have into the block of the update extracted bios.

The whole process of transferring or "replacing the infos" is described at post #29! That's why I said several times - read the post and do it.
In short:
1.Copy DMI block from the donor bios.
2.Paste the donor DMI block in the bios from the Lenovo site.
3.Edit the serial numbers in the DMI block with yours.
4.Do the same with the Windows key.
Done.

But as i told you I don't have it. I have also managed to get a donor BIOS from another machine and I know the process explained in that post(already done by me on macbook BIOSes), the problem is that I don't know how to replace the infos I have into the block of the update extracted bios.

Yes, for sure I learned the lesson.
I tried to edit the DMI info using "DMI EDITOR" both under Windows and as EFI Shell, but I can't write the parameters.
Is there any other tool that works?
I also tried LVAR but the only version I found does not work.

Go back and read post #29 again as I already told you, but this time very carefully.
You don't need any tool, just a simple hex editor.

I read the post, but I don't have the original BIOS DUMP, can be done?

I hope you learned a lesson from your mistake, next time be sure you have a backup first, and then play with the bios.

Re: Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-15ARR - 330S_ARR_V06

Hi, i got a broken 330s and flashed a clean BIOS without backing up the corrupted one. Now i have a working laptop but without Serial number and M/B model in BIOS. Is it possible to manually add them in the BIOS file and reactivate the Win10 License? I read on another forum that this can be done using LVAS64 app but the only one I found is too old and does not work with my machines. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

you need the HxD program (you can find it for free on the internet), enter the original bios of the laptop and the bios extracted from the update on the site in the program, click on the original bios, top left "search", "find", in the top box "lenovo "(search for lenovo), in the box below it remains (text-string) and check 'all' and press ok ... The DMI information is in the region 1EE000 - 1EE22F, so the length of 230, select this region by left click on mouse and going down, then right click and copy. Now click on the bios extracted from the update and search for the same region in this bios (go directly to 1EE000), select the same region (1EE000 - 1EE22F), right click on the mouse and (paste insert). ready with DMI information. For (key windows) the same procedure but the region is 330250 - 330280 so length 40 ..

I hope this helps ..

I am sorry for the delay in replying.
Thank you very much for your help the other day.

I have a couple of questions about what you taught me.

Does the location and length of that DMI information area vary depending on the manufacturer, brand and model?

Are the ProductName, MTM, lenovo SN, and UUID always in the DMI information?

In this case, you said to search for "lenovo" to identify the area of DMI information, but how do you identify the area of DMI information if the make, model, or model number is different?

Do I need to rewrite anything other than the DMI information?

Please let me know.

THANK YOU!!!

Using the information from you post, the BIOS from post #2, and a dump of my corrupted bios; I was able to fix my Lenov 330S-15ARR. My laptop's screen would initially no longer turn on. Googling revealed that this was likely due to corrupted BIOS. I used a CH341A programmer with a 1.8V adapter board and the AsProgrammer software to write the rebuilt BIOS back to my laptop.

Thank you very much.
Your work is perfect.
The BIOS is up and running and I was able to activate the OS.

Thank you very much.

I would like to learn more about BIOS information migration.
I would like to be able to do the migration myself.
I would like to be able to do it myself.
If it's too difficult to teach, can you tell me a site or thread that would be helpful?

This is because there are not many sites in Japanese that can help me.

Re: Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-15ARR - 330S_ARR_V06

Thank you for your reply. Thank you again for your help.
I have confirmed that ProductName and other information has been transferred to the file you provided.

I flashed the file you gave me to the BIOS.
However, the screen remained black and the BIOS did not start up again.

Also, the size of the backup file I attached was 8388608, while the file you gave me was 8388048.

Is it possible that I should be able to just FALSH this?
Please let me know.

try..
