    Request Lenovo X1 Gen6 BIOS

    I managed to brick a X1G6 using the autopatcher method for clearing a SVP. Clearly the state of the firmware was not I could have guessed from the instructions given to clear the SVP.

    If I remove the CMOS battery the unit power cycles multiple times. The power LED is on at the initial state for a mere second then the unit goes off.

    I tried flashing the original BIOS back but the symptoms remain and the system doesn't POST..

    My feeling is I have to clear more of the firmware.

    Anyone know what I'm talking about?

      Did not work. System continues to power cycle on then off at 1-2 sec intervals.
      What was the origin of this file BTW?

          Thank you for preparing this binary. I have not been able to test it yet. I was using my clip so much that it wore out and no longer works. Until I get a replacement clip, I may not be able to test.

          Anyway, this binary you have provided clears some ME flags. Do I flash the same winbond chip (W25Q128JV) with this binary? Do you think it will work? Can you tell me if this operation will reset the security flags in the EC?

            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....

            Request HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 (J06) BIOS dump to restore system firmware
            by Ahari
            Hi all,

            This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.

            I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

            I...

            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...

            [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,...

            Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14APU8 Bios Request
            by beogeek
            I've currently got a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14APU8 that is not posting. Its fan spins, the keyboard lights up, and the caps lock doesn't work. It was taken to some shop for cleaning, and then they updated or tried to update the bios. After that, there was no display and no post. I've removed the bios ic from the board and made a bios dump. I need some assistance going forward, as I suspect this is probably just a bad bios issue. I've tried searching for a dump, but no luck; if anyone can throw me a bone, it would be much appreciated!

            Attached is the bios dump in the state I received it...
