          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 3 - Hard Disk not recognized in BIOS
                                          by mkdj
                                          Dear all,

                                          I have recently fixed a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 ALC6 that was not booting due to a BIOS issue. After flashing the BIOS, the laptop boots up, but hard disk is not recognized in BIOS. Is says "Hard Disk : Not Installed". I have tried with 2 different drives (one that I know is working on another laptop) but I get the same result. I do not know if disks were recognized before I got the laptop and fix it, but I don't see any reason why not. I can boot on USB though.

                                          Here the steps I have taken to fix the laptop:
                                          - downloaded latest BIOS from Lenovo Website...

                                          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,...

                                          Summary of BIOS Whitelist Removal Problem


                                          Problem:
                                          I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
                                          Initial Findings:
                                          • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
                                          • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
                                          • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
                                          Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
                                          • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
                                          • I concluded that the
