    Lenovo ThinkBook 15. Bypass dmi data modification protection.

    Hello friends! Until that time, I could modify the bios (nvram dmi) zone of any laptop to my serial number data. Disabled bios lock, spi lock, FPRR, etc. And either through ch341a or fptw did it as needed.

    But today I got into the hands of a Lenovo ThinkBook 15 G3 (Insyde bios) laptop on AMD Ryzen 5 5500u, in which I cannot change the data by the programmer. Because after rebooting, all laptop data is restored to the original !!
    I even removed the BIOS chip from another identical laptop and soldered it into my laptop, and after the first boot of the laptop, the dmi zone data (serial number, model, article, etc.) was recovered from the current laptop (overwriting the data of the second laptop).
    This suggests that the BIOS chip and its code does not contain laptop data that are constantly being restored by themselves.
    I had an idea that perhaps this data is in another BIOS chip on the board (size 128kb, possibly a Network card), I also dropped it and turned on the laptop without it, but all modifications of the laptop data are still restored.
    Tell me how to deal with this phenomenon? Is there a technique? Funds, programmers? How can you block this zone from modifications by the bios itself or delete this code in the bios code ..

    Is there any information or progress in this direction? Help, friends.

      What is ec? Is it possible to change this information in ec?

        Its the KBC chip,keyboard controller ,EC embedded controller.I don`t know what chip this board has.If thats where it is you wouldn`t be able to use the CH341A,you need a special programmer, Vertyanov JIG ,SVOD3/4 ,RT809H .Its possible the board might also have another bios chip for recovery and its flashing over the main bios.

          Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
          by Wahaz
          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....

          Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH - BIOS Serial number missing
          by TecnicaNTT
          Hi all,

          I got a Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH on the bench with a botched BIOS (somehow my client blanked it). I restored the laptop and got it up and running with original BIOS from Lenovo Support website.
          My problem is now that the machine details are missing in the BIOS (Serial Number, MTM, etc.)
          I tried to write the details with the Lenovo Uone Tool but had now luck. It is giving me an error: "ERROR: Locate protocol with LenovoEeprom, Status=[e]. EEPROM fail when reading or writing data."
          I am now asking here for help if anyone knows how to do this in...

          Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 Desktop - Corrupt BIOS
          by grimacelord
          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...
