    Unlock Lenovo with "dual" chip.

    Hello!

    Sometimes I see a Lenovo laptop with two BIOS chips like the T430. One is 8MB and the other is 4MB. The autopatcher for this BIOS cannot create a patched file with which I can unlock the BIOS. I also tried to merge the two files, but then it doesn't work either.

    T430 is just an example. , I come across several such laptops. How could these be unlocked?

      Patch method is supported from T440 so you are messing with the wrong problem.

        Flash this bin file and bios has unlocked? For other laptops, how can I make such a bin file?

        The T440 has 1 chip(16MB) if I remember correctly what the Lenovo autopatcher can patch. I'm still a beginner, I only know this method.

            Serial and other info is not lost? On another laptop, if I read this chip, how can I clear the password?

                The laptop is at work, I can't watch it now. I would like to know how to do this if I come across other such laptops so that I don't have to open a new topic for every laptop and I also want to learn.

                  Hello Gripen,

                  your statement is not fully true. To be more precise:
                  There are 8 MB BIOSes AND 16 MB BIOSes on T440 models:

                  Check this:

                  8MB:

                  LenovoThinkPad T440 NM-A102.rar

                  i have one myself in a Winbond W25Q64FVSIQ chip (VIVLO NM-A102 Rev 1.0 board) where "64" means 64 MBit which equals 8MByte.

                  By the way lenovo_autopatcher can handle both, i tried it.

                      You started a new thread about the same thing yesterday. Why post again ? . Bump your other thread up.Double posting is annoying and it wastes members time.

                        Do the tweezers short method on the 24RF08, you can find it on YouTube. It's tricky but it is known working if you do it right, I've unlocked a few myself.

                              by thxd43
                              Hello, first of all, excuse me, I am using the translator, English is not my native language.

                              I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S - 14IKB laptop.



                              The tablet did not recognize me when I connected it, so I checked the device manager and I realized that there were many with the exclamation mark, so one by one I began to update their drivers until the sign disappeared of admiration, I even updated the BIOS, and the laptop rebooted normally and worked, so far so good, but the tablet still did not recognize me, I read on the internet that it could be due to a...

                              Lenovo Thinkpad L540 - name of the I/O chip that control fan and sensors?
                              by insomniacno1
                              Hi,

                              Anyone here know the name and model number of the Super I/O chip in the L540 20AU (HM86 EXPRESS CHIPSET)?

                              I need the information to solve an issue in Linux Mint, where fan is not detected correctly.

                              If anyone know the exact name of the sensor that show fan speed it would also be great.

                              I tried looking on my motherboard but can't see it without taking the laptop apart and I really don't want to do that. I asked Lenovo, but they are not answering. I searched google for photos of the motherboard but they were too blurry to read anything, according...

                              Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2

                              This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                              There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                              Lenovo LA-K321P two "bios" chip
                              by jasko_jacker
                              This motherboard has two chips one is UC4 -> 16MB which contains the main bios without the me inside, in fact if
                              use ME analyzer to check, it returns (see pics) "file does not contain intel engine/graphics/indipendent firmaware".
                              The second chip is UC2 -> 8MB, it contains ME data (see pics) and other things like PMC. If there are problems
                              like power management or ME, the chip to be rebuilt is UC4 and not UC2. Anyone confirm this?
                              I unzipped the exe file via this guide on the official Lenovo website
