Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Hello all! I have registered just to say thanks so much for this thread and I appreciate the hard work that has gone into it.
I am posting because I have an old ex-corporate Lenovo X1 Yoga (First Generation made about 2015) which the company forgot to remove the supervisor password from when I got it. This has long, long annoyed me but I had to live with it!
Recently I wanted to use VM and couldn't because it's locked. Grrr! So I have decided to fix the issue. I've read many pages of the thread (not all...) and researched the steps in detail.
This is what I plan to do - any obvious mistakes?
- Step 1: Buy a CH341a mini programmer with clip from Amazon. Open my laptop up (have done this before so no problem). Use the CH341a to read the bios chip (I found instructions for the X1 Yoga here which suggests this works specifically for the X1 Yoga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8f-3syiFSc)
- Step 2: Patch the bios using the amazing tool uploaded in this thread.
- Step 3: Upload the bios using the CH341a and get rid of the annoying supervisor password and be freeee!
I will back up the laptop before doing any of this (it's my primary device, working fine with no restrictions apart from the bios supervisor password and don't want to lose any data).
Key concerns: is the CH341a the best tool for the job, or are there better devices? Will this work for the Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 1? Odds of bricking my device?
Thanks again

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
I have an e475 (one of the AMD apu Thinkpads). The auto-patched bios took a new password, gave the ok arrow, and then went to a permanent a blank screen (no option to enter hardware id and then hit spacebar). Would appreciate any suggestions. Attached are the original and patched bios.Comment

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Your backup is only 103.9 KB ,you havn`t made a good backup. Besides that, why isn`t the Autopatcher working for you ? ,if you can get it working you can patch the bios yourself, once youve made a proper backup.Do you have python installed, are there any error messages etc, whats the problem.
Also post the full model number when you ask for help

Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
With original bios no POST, only LED lights
With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
Some issues
A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized
Things I tried
1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble... -
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,... -
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.... -
Hi everyone,
I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.
I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.
After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.
I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...
