Lenovo Thinkpad T480 BIOS and EEPROM request

[Birdsbeinair]

...and how about this dump?
It had worked on 2-3 other laptops that i fixed...

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with some work. YES! This one worked!! 😁 But... Windows installations are as unstable as they were before the botched Bios update, and some Linux distros do install but it takes a lot of effort to make it happen. I believe this motherboard may be broken after all, but in such a weird way that I can't pinpoint exactly how, and sadly we can't refund it anymore. Still, thanks everyone involved for your time and support, I learned a lot from this!

Hello,
I have a Lenovo T480 that is locked with an administrator password.
I tried Auto-Patcher, and while it worked perfectly on some computers, on this one, I only get beeping and a black screen. What am I doing wrong?

SMDFlea - Thank you for your help, but when I try that file, the BIOS remains locked.
For example, with the original BIOS, I can skip the login and enter the BIOS (of course, I can't change anything), but with this BIOS, I don't even have that option.

That bios still needs patching

[ktmmotocross]

have anybody dump form U15 with dump from U49?

That bios still needs patching

Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed that it didn't occur to me at all But we are still learning, it will get better over time with fewer silly questions
Of course I managed to remove the password when I did the patch... And of course, now I have another problem, which is Autopilot. On a couple of computers, I successfully removed Autopilot by following the instructions from volinakis, but on this one I don't see that Autopilot exists at all, and yet when I install Windows 11, it's still tied to the company. I assume something else needs to be changed, but I don't know what exactly?

Perhaps volinakis or maxpower3 or someone else can help with that, i`m not sure what to do

Please try this modded (1 byte diff) bios for autopilot disable...if it's not working then probably you need to rewrite the SIO chip.

It actually works perfectly! Autopilot has been successfully removed.
Thanks for the help! I would be grateful if you could write down exactly what you changed, so I can try to do it myself in the future

I also want to thank SMDFlea for the selfless help! Well done, guys!
