    Lenovo L340-15IRH Type 81LK Gaming/IdeaPad BIOS Problem

    Hello,

    3 weeks ago when I launched MEMU (android emulator for windows) it complained about virtualization is disabled and gave me bluescreen. I turned off the device and booted to bios from windows advanced startup. I changed a couple and settings and boom! black screen. Not the typical one, no backlight, windows doesnt start (no hdmi output etc), it just bricked. Didn't want to wait for lenovo so i gave it to a local shop. He said bios is corrupt and flashed a new one. After i got the device i found out that my second hdd is not detected. I thought it may be damaged and ordered new one ( This one )

    But it did not solve any problems. And i noticed wired network doesn't working, not detected.

    Today i discovered that there is a new bios update. Here are my bios photos and new bios screnshot:









    As you may see some bios info is missing, product name, serial number etc.

    Should I install new bios? Would it brick it again? Do you advise me to use bios modification tutorial in this thread -> https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=98038 and flash it?

    If you want mainboard pictures i may take photos and submit

    thank you

    Main board FG541/FG741 NM-C361

    You need the original BIOS of the machine. You have to ask the repair shop to fix the BIOS properly or at the very least to provide the backup. Hopefully they didn't erase it…

        Flash the new bios, you will also be missing the same DMI information as the old one.

        Below the video there is a download link

          Lenovo L340-15irh bios/ec

          Hello! I have a Lenovo l340-15irh laptop (fg541 / fg741 nm-c362 rev: 1.0), replaced the power jack. It turned out that there is a short circuit on the LDO3 line. I replaced the damaged it8586e with a clean one. I did bios backups. I turned on my laptop, the it8586e chip was overwritten. Power button flashes 6/7 times, loop, flashes again 6/7 times and turns off. When turned on, Power lights up briefly and then goes off. I think there is a problem with the bios and the EC. I tried other bios and ec but same symptoms.

          Could someone clean the ME region and make the ec file from the original bios?

          thx

                                          Lenovo IdeaPad 330 15-AST 81D6 BIOS Recovery
                                          by jendkkd jeje
                                          So a couple of years ago i got a bios update through Lenovo Vantage, so i installed it and bricked my whole BIOS, so i couldn't fix it so i put that ideapad in a box, 3 years later i found that one PC and want to recover it to switch from a 2014 hp laptop to this one.

                                          I found a method to recover the BIOS of many lenovo laptops tha consists in pluging in a USB Flash with the BIOS files and power on the laptop with Fn + R keys pressed until fans go loud and start beeping loud, but nothing worked, so i think filename is wrong, i tried naming the bios file as 07WW.BIN, BIOS.BIN, BIOS.fd,...

                                          Summary of BIOS Whitelist Removal Problem


                                          Problem:
                                          I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
                                          Initial Findings:
                                          • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
                                          • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
                                          • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
                                          Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
                                          • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
                                          • I concluded that the

                                          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....
