                [ NOTES ]
                When booting the patched BIOS you might have to:
                - Hold the anti-tamper switch down the whole time (use tape)
                - Remove the hard disk or replace it with a locked one

                        Should I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with bios password?
                        by RMDUiFT
                        Good day. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong topic. I saw somebody selling a Thinkpad E495 with a Ryzen 3500U CPU near me. In the pictures the laptop is running windows 10. I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password. I searched through the forum, I found a guide regarding removing the bios password using the autopatcher, I also found a thread with the e495 where people requested help with unlocking the bios password.

                        I have a few questions:
                        • If I would buy this laptop and have

                        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 Thinkpad X1 carbon 11th Gen BIOS problem
                        by MaxonDomkrat
                        Hi everyone.

                        I have an engineering sample of a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 11th Gen (TYPE 21HM-2FVT05, S/N PF-40G7CD) with an Intel Core i7 1360P (ES – Intel 0000). Since this is an engineering sample, the BIOS had a massive number of various settings. One day, I was experimenting with the BIOS settings and, after saving them, the laptop stopped booting and played a melody after pressing the power button, signaling error code 0002 (Internal bus error), just like in this post: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...shooting-lapto...

                        [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                        by zenius
                        Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                        Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                        by akwky
                        Hi!
                        Went dumpster-diving and found a bricked Lenovo P14S in trash, few weeks earlier. Symptoms - no screen, no POST, no beep, just keyboard LEDs flashing on powerup. Mute button+LED was responding though, and the display self-test was still working (via the key combo Ctrl+Fn+Power held for some seconds, see the Service manual).

                        Incidentally, Windows 11 have recently started auto-flashing computer BIOS in our region. Even more suspiciously, Lenovo has released a BIOS update just few days before the PC was trashed. About a week later, the BIOS update image has been oficially marked...
