I'm really into hardware hacking, both for profit and fun, well they're one in the same. While this particular post piqued my interest. Don't expect me to be a 1-time poster.Comment

does the patched with key file work on your PC?
try another one for testing.
I only made one modification to it, I'm surprised that it doesn't start at all

Hello,
I see that autopatcher is told works till gen 8th.
I have p53 (9th generation from what i was told) with supervisor password lock.
I ran the patch with the bios dump and got this:
"Using UEFIReplace to inject 2 DXE drivers...
[1/2] BootOption (GUID e0746c42-d3f9-4f8b-b211-1410957b9ff5)
[2/2] LenovoTranslateService (GUID 826bcf56-bac4-43f4-8ea1-8cdf0a121abd)
Looking for volumes to patch...
[1/1] NVRAM_EfiSystemNvDataFvGuid (checksum 2609h):
Not found... Skipping.
Done.
PATCH FILE: W25Q256JV_Lenovo_p50_lock_supervisor_PATCHED.BIN
Good luck."
Do i risk bricking the motherboard, did anybody else tried on P53 9th generation?
Can somebody please advise?
THank you!Last edited by raven4is; 12-12-2023, 01:14 AM.Comment

Good afternoon everyone, I have really tried to get the job done but I haven't succeeded. That's why I respectfully request if you could make the patch for me. Thank you so much.

I have a Lenovo X270 with a supervisor password that I want to remove.
This is what it looks like before starting:
I bought a CH341A programmer, and I have a soldering iron so I thought I'd give this a try.
The programmer came with a clip that can't be used because of adjacent components, but also a tiny board that you can use to solder the chip directly.
So I unsoldered the Winbond 25Q128FVSQ chip from the motherboard, and soldered it to the tiny board, it looks like this:
Made 2 backups using flashrom, like this:
flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -r backup1.bin
This took 2-3 minutes.
Then I used the autopatcher.
Then I wrote the patched bios, like this:
flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w backup1_PATCHED.bin
This took 5 minutes.
Then I soldered the chip to the motherboard, but the computer wouldn't turn on anymore.
I pressed the button and waited a couple of second, but nothing.
Does it turn on normally with the patched bios?
I thought I may have soldered it wrong (a short circuit or something), so I proceeded to desolder it, clean the paste and try again.
And unfortunately one of the tracks in the PCB broke (pin 2), as can be seen in this photo:
Pin 3 has a tiny bit of solder above, but it's ok, please ignore that.
Anyway, I should not have attempted this without a reflow station, soldering paste and heat protective tape.
If only I knew where this track goes, I could possibly rescue it with a cable.
This is a long shot, but does anyone have any idea on how would I fix this?Comment

I feel with you, Pepitoski, the same has happened to me, too - but fortunately not on such a pricey item as in your case. That's why I did not even try to desolder the flash chip, but soldered tiny wirewrap wires to the pins... Anyway, the challenge is now to try to salvage your motherboard. As pin 2 is the DO line, it probably goes directly to the CPU. So my best bet would be to remove the lacquer covering the via that is (or was) connected to pin 2, solder a tiny wire to the via and connect that to pin 2. Actually, before soldering the chip again to the motherboard, I would use wires to connect all pins from the motherboard the the small PCB you got with the programmer, and only solder the chip to the motherboard, once the entire auto-patch procedure has successfully finished (remember that you need to reflash the original BIOS once the patched version has done its job). Good luck!

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...-
