Write this new BIOS with ME cleared and provide feedback.Hello to all the geniuses out there
I need some help with a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga X1 Gen 1.
I can't find the serial number on it.
The bios is corrupted i think, when i start it's just a black screen and not caps lock light or anything.
Can anyone fix the bios dump for me so i can reprogram it?
Thanks!Comment

Hi yall, this is my last resort. I've been unsuccessful in unlocking my t480 8th gen. Many have suggested the shorting pins method (EC method) but its really difficult. I know I've seen people successfully unlock it using the patching bios method. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Below is my original bios file.Comment

Do we know if this will work for the ThinkPad P16s Gen 1 or if there is any newer version of your tool? I can't go thru literally thousands of posts right now. Thanks!Comment

Hello everyone,
It worked like a charm on a L480 (i5-8250U), with a MX25L12873F (spot U0901). I read that some other users with a L480 have a Winbond chip, but this chip was the correct one for my case.
You should check for a 128 M-BIT chip, so a 16 Mb chip, and not a 80 M-BIT one.
I patched it with a Raspberry Pi (3 B+) by its GPIO and flashrom, and the SOC8 clip that comes with the classical CH341A. It was very easy and it worked on the first try. I disconnected all batteries including CMOS during the procedure (I ran the computer directly from the power cable).
Just be careful when fixing the clip on the chip with all the components near around.
Thanks author !Comment

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...
