      Two options to unlock this model:
      1. Patch, DXE drivers
      2. EC/KBC

          Sorry, this is E14 thread. please create a new topic for E15, but need to upload your bios to determine the correct version of Ec because when extracting bios from Lenovo homepage, there will be 2 bios versions for this model (correspondingly there will be 2 versions Ec )

            Hi... I presume that repair fail but you update one 128kb dump and this model is 256kb, you must set the kb in the programmer before read the dump.

              Hi Hoaca... E14 and E15 have the same motherboard (NM-C421).

                                Re: E14 Type 20RA NM-C421 EC Bios Unlock

                                Hello, Sorry I don't mean to hijack, What chip is the EC chip ?
                                I have a locked E14 and I have a bad CRC error.
                                I have tried all the dumps I can find maybe I need to program the EC.

                                Any info will be great thanks.

                                  Looks like an I/O chip. Usually it can be a big chip with lots of pins.

                                    Thank you hoaca388, Not what I wanted to see but it is what it is, I do
                                    not have the programmer for this not unless the T56 can do it.
                                    Maybe I will treat myself. Thanks mate.

                                            [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                                            by zenius
                                            Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                                            Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                                            by macabook
                                            Hello everyone,

                                            I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
                                            🧩 Initial Issue
                                            • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
                                            • External display (HDMI) shows
                                            ...

                                            Dell Inspiron 5775 bios locked "Unlock Setup fail"


                                            After generating the Password Recovery code, I go to the “Security” tab - “Locked Settings” - it says “Unlock Settings? I tried many wrong passwords and it shows an error to unlock settings [ Press any key ].
                                            What I did:
                                            I read the bios dump.
                                            Downloaded the bios update to 1.6.0 from the official Dell website, extracted the dump from it, updated the bios, but the problem persisted. Please help me to solve the problem....
