    What programmer do you use?

    I tried with Intel FPTW64.exe and it says BIOS is locked.
    I tried with AFUDOS from a bootable USB and it says BIOS not recognized.

    Maybe a confusion. By programmer did you mean the CH431 Asprogrammer?

        Ah OK, sorry. You were referring to the hardware programmer. CH431A Asprogrammer again.

        It's just that I was trying to avoid disassembling the laptop again and inserting the clamp. I thought that now that the laptop starts up I could do it from Operating System.

          Hi. It works great. With ME and fast boot. Thank you.

          For knowledge purposes, how did you make the image?, more or less, with my serial number. Because I was trying the ME cleansing procedure, without much success.

            I just copied the serial number from the old file.

              First I flashed an image published in this thread from another laptop. ME had problems but Serial Number was preserved. So, is Serial Number outside of the BIOS, somewhere in mainboard?

              What image did you use? some standard factory image with clean ME?

                            Thread merged.. .Read the above post, you must post the laptop serial number. Also read the bios guides,try the lenovo Autopatcher before asking for help.

                                Hello,

                                could you please help me with my Lenovo Yoga X380 which is BIOS PWD protected?

                                I were able to extract the BIOS chip in a attached BIN file with an CH341a reader.

                                UEFI BIOS Version ROSET50W
                                Embedded Controller Version ROSHT50W
                                Machine Type Model 20LJS4MQ00
                                System unit sn MP1GVN8A
                                System board sn C1KS91B0035

                                Thank you very much

                                  i think for the x230 there is an unlocked bios available which not only unlocks the whitelists but also unlocks additional oem settings.
                                  is there somethign like that for x380 yoga?

                                        Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

                                        Hello everyone,

                                        I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

                                        This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

                                        I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

                                        Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
                                        by Forest79
                                        Hello,

                                        I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
                                        The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

                                        However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

                                        Unable to extract bios file from Lenovo bios exectuable

                                        I'm trying to extract a flashable bios file(ch341a) from the lenovo bios executable download. I have tried the instructions from this site https://starkeblog.com/lenovo/uefi/2...pdate-exe.html, which are not working. According to those instructions, after issuing the command
                                        Code:
                                        "innoextract 7wcn38ww.exe"
                                        it should create an \app folder, inside which, I should find a newly created "7wcn38ww.exe" file. I should then be able to extract that using 7zip and find my .FD file.

                                        The trouble I'm having is that I'm not getting the newly...

                                        I need a bios file for a Lenovo Thinkpad P1 Gen 3 laptop, model 20TJS2LA1B

                                        I need a bios file for a Lenovo Thinkpad P1 Gen 3 laptop, model 20TJS2LA1B.

                                        Can anyone help me find the BIOS file for this laptop?
                                        This laptop is having trouble booting from a flash drive or SSD.
                                        I've updated the BIOS with a file downloaded from lenovo.com, but it still doesn't work.
                                        So I'm thinking of flashing it another way.

                                        Hello Everyone,

                                        I have Thinkpad T560 Which has corrupted BIOS. I have acquired Ch341A SPI flasher to program the BIOS externally. I see that to program the BIOS, i need a bin file for the BIOS. I was able to extract the .exe file of BIOS from Lenovo given here in this link:

                                        https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/p...me=BIOS%2FUEFI

                                        In the extracted files, I see that BIOS containing file has extension .FL1 and I need to extract or convert it...
