Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Please correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not a beginner but have some doubts).
I'm talking about Lenovo x270 but will try to be objective
1. I have to dumb my actual bios to a file. Or can I get it from manufacture site?
OR I can get patched bios form this site (found one).
2. What program can dumb my actual BIOS?
3. Secondly I have to flash the BIOS by patched one. Can I do that form Windows or do I need to have USB starting disk?
4. What program can flash my actual BIOS with patched one?
5. After bios is patched I have to restart computer and do the procedure described in post 1
6. At the and I have to flash bios again by original BIOS? Do I need the one dumped form computer at the beginning or can I take the latest one form official manufacture site?
Sorry about maybe obvious questions but I think this was missing. Thanks for full answer.
CheersComment

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
I am not an expert, just in case, but try to restore the original bios from backup and start from there again. It might have been an error in backing up the bios.
Not the last, you have to get a confirmation message that the patching is done successfully and without any errors. (it happen in my case, so when I flashed the patched bios I could not boot either, so i had to start from the beginning).
Also step 4 - I am not sure that you have to do it, i just wrote the patched bios on the top of original bios. And dont forget you have to write the bios couple of times, so clearing the bios chip is not really necessary in my opinion ( I might be wrong though).
And try to do it from a GNU/Linux system. I think its more straightforward and easy. In Windows you might need to search and install additional software and drivers.Comment

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Hi all. Thanks to all for the help so far. However, I am not able to get a valid dump of my Yoga 460 BIOS. I have a CH341a with SOIC8 clip, but I can't get any dumb (not even a corrupted) from the BIOS chip. The chip is an MX25L12873F and supported by the standard software I use with the programmer. I don't want to desolder the BIOS chip, so I hope I can get away with the clip. I am still waiting for the SPI-Driver to be delivered to use my TL866 II. However, I was hoping I could go ahead with the CH341a. Any detailed guide or instruction how to dumb the BIOS, what adapter and/or software to use is much appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Have found a guide on the internet. Not sure if I can post the link, but when you google "[GUIDE] Flash BIOS with CH341A programmer" you will find all you need.

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Thank you very much !!!!!!!!! Everything was done on Lenovo Thinkpad T460.
I removed the Admin password from Bios enter. I Used the programmer CH341a with SOIC8 clip. Python 3.8.7 Windows 10 OS.
The chip winbond 25Q128FVSQ needs to be cleared before writing, otherwise it will not work. If you do not clean it, then the verification of the chip data with the file will not work. Do not connect the bios battery and laptop battery when you run the downloaded file.
At the end, restore the original dump and connect all the batteries ... Thank you very much for that.Comment

by jbonavitaHi, 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...-

by zeniusHello, 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 WahazHello,
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....-

by BloodhoundjeHi 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...-
