          thank you for the bios, there was a change but still no image, this must have a problem somewhere else, possibly cpu because the laptop was punched, the bios is probably good
          thank you very much though

                Lenovo ideapad 5-15ARE05 Laptop - Type 81YQ

                Hi,
                I used a CH341a to restore the BIOS for my Lenovo ideapad 5-15ARE05 after a failed update.

                However I'm unable to restore information on the BIOS such as MTM, Lenovo SN, UUID Number, OS License and OA3 Key ID.

                I would really appreciate your help with restoring this information please.

                Attached are the the original dump backup I extracted before restoring the BIOS (IP5_DUMP_BK.zip) and the new file file used to restore the BIOS (BIOS_e7cn41ww.zip).

                Thank you!

                Regards,
                Jose

                                    Re: BIOS Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ARE05 (NM-C861)

                                    I need some help as I'm trying to fix my IdeaPad 3 15ARE05. It just stopped turning on one day and I thought about a bad bios chip. I desoldered the chip and read it with my CH341A. I found this thread and used the files I found here to flash it onto my Winbond chip. Four tries at flashing the chip resulted in failed verify. Each failed was for a different location in memory. One flash didn't fail but when I read the chip and did a md5sum, they don't match.

                                    To me it seems like a bad flash chip, unless I did something wrong. I'm using Linux Mint and the tool flashrom. It does detect the chip as a W25Q128.W and reading the chip physically does show it to be a 25Q128JWSQ. Only thing is Digikey and pretty much everywhere doesn't show this chip but other similar chips. I did find one Chinese source but I'm not a huge fan of waiting weeks to get my laptop working. Will any W25Q128 chip work or does it need to end with JWSQ?

                                    Also the reason I thought the bios was bad because at first the laptop didn't work but unplugged the CMOS battery would get it working again. I did this multiple times until it just didn't work anymore. Doing a little research I heard this was a common problem for Lenovo. Supply chain issues maybe? Either I'm reading and writing to this chip incorrectly or I found the issue? Here's the terminal results.

                                    Code:
                                    sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w BIOS_e7cn41ww.new.bin
                                    flashrom v1.2 on Linux 6.0.8-x64v1-xanmod1 (x86_64)
                                    flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
                                    
                                    Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
                                    Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q128.W" (16384 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi.
                                    Reading old flash chip contents... done.
                                    Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done.
                                    Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x00b8536b! Expected=0xf6, Found=0xf4, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x00ffffff: 0x2
                                    Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
                                    Please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
                                    mail flashrom@flashrom.org, thanks!

                                      I need some help as I'm trying to fix my IdeaPad 3 15ARE05. It just stopped turning on one day and I thought about a bad bios chip. I desoldered the chip and read it with my CH341A. I found this thread and used the files I found here to flash it onto my Winbond chip. Four tries at flashing the chip resulted in failed verify. Each failed was for a different location in memory. One flash didn't fail but when I read the chip and did a md5sum, they don't match.

                                      To me it seems like a bad flash chip, unless I did something wrong. I'm using Linux Mint and the tool flashrom. It does detect the chip as a W25Q128.W and reading the chip physically does show it to be a 25Q128JWSQ. Only thing is Digikey and pretty much everywhere doesn't show this chip but other similar chips. I did find one Chinese source but I'm not a huge fan of waiting weeks to get my laptop working. Will any W25Q128 chip work or does it need to end with JWSQ?

                                      Also the reason I thought the bios was bad because at first the laptop didn't work but unplugged the CMOS battery would get it working again. I did this multiple times until it just didn't work anymore. Doing a little research I heard this was a common problem for Lenovo. Supply chain issues maybe? Either I'm reading and writing to this chip incorrectly or I found the issue? Here's the terminal results.

                                      Code:
                                      sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w BIOS_e7cn41ww.new.bin

                                        Thanks, just ran NeoProgrammer and it says Verified. It verified twice. I flashed peste's bios that he uploaded. I'll solder the chip onto the board tomorrow and see if the laptop posts.

                                          Lenovo IdeaPad 330 15-AST 81D6 BIOS Recovery
                                          by jendkkd jeje
                                          So a couple of years ago i got a bios update through Lenovo Vantage, so i installed it and bricked my whole BIOS, so i couldn't fix it so i put that ideapad in a box, 3 years later i found that one PC and want to recover it to switch from a 2014 hp laptop to this one.

                                          I found a method to recover the BIOS of many lenovo laptops tha consists in pluging in a USB Flash with the BIOS files and power on the laptop with Fn + R keys pressed until fans go loud and start beeping loud, but nothing worked, so i think filename is wrong, i tried naming the bios file as 07WW.BIN, BIOS.BIN, BIOS.fd,...

                                          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....

                                          Hello there.

                                          I am working on a Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 desktop that currently has a corrupt BIOS and I have been unsuccessful thus far in trying to fix it myself.

                                          History:

                                          1. This computer came to me initially with an error message that said "BiInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001" or "0135 fan error". It would always be one of the two errors. It should be noted that when it produced the fan error, there was no physical problem with the fans. They were all spinning just fine.

                                          I searched for this error online and discovered...

                                          Lenovo IdeaPad U330p Read Bios than Bios Password Remove
                                          by Popel1083
                                          Hi,
                                          I want to remove the Bios Password of my Lenovo IdeaPad U330p with the Lenovo autopatcher. I have the CH341A Black and I'm using NeoProgrammer. The Programmer has an LED that indecates when it reads or writes the Chip. When I try to Connect my Programmer to the Bios Chip (Winbond 25Q64FVSIQ) the LED lights up even though I didn't click on Detect botton in NeoProgrammer. If i click on Detect the LED still remains on and NeoProgrammer says "IC not responding".
