Many bios dumps that I found on the internet have a different version of ME (I have corporate lp) but the board boots up and shows the splash screen. I just started learning how to work with fit 15\16, so I don't really understand how to properly restore the bios.
    As far as i know the 20VJ should have Consumer LP firmware, not corporate. Try the attached bios.

                      Where is the sticker with the serial number, on the base cover or on the motherboard ?

                      According to the serial number it`s 20VJ ,you can try the bios from a few posts up https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...31#post3649231

                        The sticker is on bottom cover, but in bios bin file is the same serial number.
                        I tried bios that you suggested, but didn't work. Turn on, black screen, fan spinning, cpu get hot, ESC is light on.

                                    Hi all,

                                    I'm trying to recover a Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 (Type 20VH) with a LAR-2 motherboard (19837‑1) and a MX25L25673G (32MB) SPI chip.

                                    Backstory:
                                    • Original BIOS chip was corrupt (4-note beep).
                                    • I don't have a backup bios file
                                    • Tried a dump from a forum (possibly mismatched) — still 4-beep failure.
                                    • I’ve verified flashes and used UEFITool + UEFIExtract on the image.
                                    • The board has BootGuard enabled (confirmed via FIT Table with __KEYM__ and __ACBP__ entries), so I suspect the current image has mismatched key manifests.

                                    I’m looking for a verified working dump from the same board revision with BootGuard keys that match the fuse values for this type if possible.

                                    Specs:
                                    • Model: Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 2
                                    • Type: 20VH-0015UK
                                    • Serial: R9-10974T
                                    • SPI Chip: MX25L25673G (WSON 8) (actual chip MXIC 25L25673G)
                                    • Original BIOS size: 32MB
                                    • Boot failure: 4 short beeps (BootGuard triggered)

                                    If anyone has a confirmed working dump or can help verify BootGuard compatibility, I’d really appreciate it. Happy to share anything I've tested or upload my backup if needed.

                                    Thanks!
                                    Darren

                                    • I don't have a backup bios file
                                    • Tried a dump from a forum (possibly mismatched) — still 4-beep failure.
                                    • I’ve verified flashes and used UEFITool + UEFIExtract on the image.
                                    • The board has BootGuard enabled (confirmed via FIT Table with __KEYM__ and __ACBP__ entries), so I suspect the current image has mismatched key manifests.

                                    I’m looking for a verified working dump from the same board revision with BootGuard keys that match the fuse values for this type if possible.

                                    Specs:
                                    • Model: Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 2
                                    • Type: 20VH-0015UK
                                    • Serial: R9-10974T
                                    • SPI Chip: MX25L25673G (WSON 8) (actual chip MXIC 25L25673G)
                                    • Original BIOS size: 32MB
                                    • Boot failure: 4 short beeps (BootGuard triggered)

                                    If anyone has a confirmed working dump or can help verify BootGuard compatibility, I’d really appreciate it. Happy to share anything I've tested or upload my backup if needed.

                                    Thanks!
                                    Darren

                                        Lenovo Thinkpad X1 carbon 11th Gen BIOS problem
                                        by MaxonDomkrat
                                        Hi everyone.

                                        I have an engineering sample of a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 11th Gen (TYPE 21HM-2FVT05, S/N PF-40G7CD) with an Intel Core i7 1360P (ES – Intel 0000). Since this is an engineering sample, the BIOS had a massive number of various settings. One day, I was experimenting with the BIOS settings and, after saving them, the laptop stopped booting and played a melody after pressing the power button, signaling error code 0002 (Internal bus error), just like in this post: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...shooting-lapto...

                                        Hello everyone,

                                        First, the data in brief:
                                        Manufacturer: Lenovo

                                        So far I've been a silent reader, but now I need your help

                                        I bought a laptop. The seller said the bios was locked. I was looking for a way to remove this ban.
                                        I then got the CH341A and pulled the corresponding files from here https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...evices-and-ele...
                                        The laptop was brought in with a BIOS problem and a password. After reading the dump, the information was damaged. I ask for help in the BIOS with a clean ME region. Motherboard 213035-1. Serial number: PW+04e998, Type number: 21c3-0016ge

                                        🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting

                                        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
                                        ...

                                        Should I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with bios password?
                                        by RMDUiFT
                                        Good day. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong topic. I saw somebody selling a Thinkpad E495 with a Ryzen 3500U CPU near me. In the pictures the laptop is running windows 10. I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password. I searched through the forum, I found a guide regarding removing the bios password using the autopatcher, I also found a thread with the e495 where people requested help with unlocking the bios password.

                                        I have a few questions:
                                        • If I would buy this laptop and have
