    Hi Everybody! Until now I have been able to unlock a couple of Thinkpads thanks to this system which I think is quite easy and straight-forward.
    Anyway now I came across a P50, and it seems that autopatcher is NOT working: if I patch the BIOS, laptop boots up for 5/6 seconds but then it shuts OFF. NO video screen, NO beep codes.
    What I did: dumped the file using a clamp (dumped twice, checked using certutil and generated same hash file so I moved on); patched with autopatched, loaded new BIOS. tried 3 times, same results...
    Can it be because of the MACRONIX chip? That is the 1st one I am finding (previous ones were Winbond). Attacched original DUMP.

      STEP 1: Flash given patch file
      STEP 2: Boot the machine
      STEP 3: Enter in BIOS settings
      STEP 4: Enter any character when asked for Supervisor Password
      STEP 5: Press enter when it shows Hardware ID
      STEP 6: Press space bar 2x when asked
      STEP 7: Turn off machine
      STEP 8: Restore original BIOS (write your old backup bios)

        NOPE... Unfortunately same behaviour as before: laptop does boot automatically once connected to AC, stays on for 4/5 seconds (fans 1/2 seconds), then turns OFF automatically. DOES NOT reboot. If I try to power-it on manually (power button) it starts, again for 5/6 seconds, then OFF. NO video, NO beeps. On the laptop I have video, ram (1 slot), keyboard, nothing else (NO CMOS, no battery, no ssd).

        If I switch back to original BIOS (not patched) everything works normally (but with password). :-(

          Hello Friend..
          I tried to flash your file, but when it asks for the supervisor password and I enter any symbol, it just counts it as a wrong password, then i have this message !!

              Hello everyone.
              i have thinkpad T470 i5 7300u with a bios password.
              when you start the computer it asks for a bios password.
              i would like to know if it's possible to get the bios password or would it be possible to one of the members on here to clear it . I have tried lenovo auotpatcher with no luck.
              i have listed the original bios as an attachment

              Motherboard number
              NM-A931 V2.0

              Thinkpad T470 20HE-S0FW00

              serial number PF-11C9UV 18/05

                    This is the second laptop I have and the password cannot be removed either (T470 and T480s) - it is restored by an unpatched BIOS. I assume that with some version the autopatcher does not work as expected

                      Patch is working for Lenovo E540 AILE2 NM-A161. Flash only 4mb and boot. Trick is start clicking Enter just before you see Lenovo logo otherwise laptop will freeze and then normally proceed with patching.

                                      I did the whole process but the password is still on the bios

                                      STEP 1: Flash and replace current BIOS with the generated patch file
                                      STEP 2: Boot the machine
                                      STEP 3: Press ENTER/F1/etc. to enter BIOS settings
                                      STEP 4: Enter any character when asked for Supervisor Password
                                      STEP 5: Press enter when it shows Hardware ID
                                      STEP 6: Press space bar 2x when asked
                                      STEP 7: Turn off machine
                                      STEP 8: Restore original BIOS
                                      STEP 9: Reset BIOS settings to factory default

                                      Can someone advice please ?

                                      step8. Do I need to erase chip and flash with original bios , right ?​

                                      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...

                                      [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,...

                                      Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request

                                      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....

                                      HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2523nd - Dimm2 slot disabled after corrupt bios repair? Advice requested.

                                      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...
