Lenovo Legion Y540-17IRH bricked, need BIOS

[sect-sin]

Hello everybody,

I have a bricked (after BIOS downgrade) Lenovo Legion Y540-17IRH notebook. Attached is a screenshot of the motherboard version and a dump of the corrupted BIOS. Could anybody provide me with an up-to-date, fixed BIOS file with all DMI information transferred?

I thank you very much in advance for your efforts.

...after BIOS downgrade...

Here is an older (38) version if you need to downgrade from the current (44) one for some reason. The DMI location as already mentioned by Peste.

hoaca388, peste & Vesko356,

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I will try to program the BIOS today with the files you attached & will let you know about the outcome.

I think I will try the most up-to-date version first, and go to earlier versions if required.

Hello guys,

This absolutely WORKED at the first try. I used hoaca388-s BIOS, all DMI data is here also. I am totally thrilled.

Thank you SO VERY MUCH!

Hi masters, I have
Legion Y540-17IRH (81Q4)
SN: PF28T3J0
MTM: 81Q400G7PB

It starts, in left top corner blinks white underscore 3 times, no Legion Logo, just backlight is on.
I tried to flash hoaca388 BIOS from post #2 and I got artifacts on screen. If I went to bios, "Discrete graphic" option was greyed out, no changes available.
Is it because this bios is for different GPU?
My BIOS attached, can anyone have a look please.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a problem with my laptop, it wasn't booting/showing anything on the screen. I have found another bios in the internet, and switched ME Region, it boots now, displays on the screen, I can see that circle from booting, but after around one "loop" it just freezes. Think that still might be an BIOS issue, and the one I made just isn't working properly.
Could someone please make me a proper bios file so I can hopefully boot my laptop ?

hi try this new file

[Visonix]

hi try this new file

Hey, the bios technically works fine, was able to boot finally, but my laptop is still not working perfectly, and im not sure if that has something to do with BIOS or not, it can only boot once, if I turn the laptop off (was able to restart), I cannot power it again, the power led will stay white for about 10s, and then goes dark and tries to boot over and over again.
Sometimes removing battery and cmos battery for 20-30mins makes me able to boot again. Also the keyboard was working only within the first boot, if I restart the laptop the keyboard just stops working. Also I have got bluetooth signal, but not WiFi. (Has error code 10 in device manager.
Not 100% sure if that has anything to do with the bios you sent me, or it's just a bigger motherboard problem.
