    Just a question, by unlocking the advanced bios menu you can exceed the temperature limit of the GPU and CPU?

    I extracted bios region from update and replaced it in your backup and performed a clean_ME with intel FIT. You are welcome.

    Having some trouble with patching my T480 bios so I can access the advanced menu. I dumped the bios and believed I patched it correctly, following a few guides. However when I reflash the laptop will let out a musical chime and not boot. I've tried a couple of times to fix the patched bios however I've hit a wall and have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Refreshing the original gets everything back to working order.
    Some searching has led me to believe it's the bios version that was on the laptop that could be causing issues. It's running 1.53 I believe and I saw people with 1.52 saying they had issues but I'm at a complete loss as to what I should do next.
    I've attached a copy of my working bios and a copy of the patched one. Any help would be massively appreciated and sorry for coming with what is probably a simple problem.

    Edit-

    apologies I missed the rule about where to post. my SN is PF-0YY9FP

    Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

    Hello everyone,

    I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

    This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

    I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...
