              not the bios is the problem..I sent you the bios on the site..you will not find a better one..take everything out of the laptop (dvd, wifi, hdd, etc) and start..see what is happening ... change the bios battery ... check another HDD ...

                Hello Guys, at first big thanks for this forum, it helped me a lot of times, I successfully unlocked t460, x250, t470s, t550 - so I know the process.
                Then I got locked Yoga 11e 5th gen 20LN with procesor m3 7y30 - successfully unlocked too, for unknown reason it died after ~10 reboots but it's not the case :-).
                Then I got three locked Yoga 11e 5th but with Celeron N4100 (20LM), I thought it will work, but nooo... It is different motherboard then 11e with m3 7y30, chip is MXIC 25U6473F. Autopatcher does not show any error, but after applying patched bios it turns on, Esc key led is ON, but no display. Exactly the same on the second 11e N4100 - no display...
                I searched through this forum and found a post from iTman with the same symptoms, the answer was to find P24S08 and program it with attached dump, it was said that this version of motherboard stores password in this chip, unfortunately thred was not continued...
                I looked carefully on the mainboard and did not find this chip. I know how it should look like, I unlocked many L520, X230, T520 with SDA/SCL method.
                I'm attaching the dumps of two Yogas and photo of the mainboard; the other side of MB does not contain any larger chips. The only one chip looking similar to regular 8-pin is placed under wifi card, but it is MXIC 25L1006E...
                So did anyone solve it? Any ideas? :-)

                                    Dell Inspiron 3471 BIOS Corrupted
                                    by grimacelord
                                    Hello,

                                    A client brought me their Dell Inspiron 3471 desktop after they shutdown the computer in the middle of it performing a BIOS update. They somehow believed that the BIOS update process was "fake" and so they shut it down even though the BIOS update flash screen told them DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER. They did it anyway and of course that corrupted the BIOS. The computer still turns on and it does attempt to go through BIOS Recovery, but it fails and loops back to the beginning. All other options to recover also do not work.

                                    I removed the BIOS IC chip from...

                                    Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 3 ,How to know if the BIOS is corrupted

                                    Hi everyone, hope everyone's having a great day.

                                    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 3 for repair. (20LES3T900)
                                    I looked in every corner and the laptop seems fine. Its pulling 500mA but no display, no noise, nothing.

                                    So I assume its a BIOS issue. I downloaded the BIOS with CH341A and opened it on ME Analyser and didn't receive any errors.
                                    Does this mean the BIOS is fine? making it a hardware issue?

                                    I downloaded fresh BIIOS from the Lenovo site and used Hex Editor replace the Lenovo's BIOS into my BIOS region. But the file size ended up being...

                                    Lenovo Yoga 14IRH8 (N1CN) BIOS repair – corrupted after update
                                    by Jkay1994
                                    Hi,

                                    I have a Lenovo Yoga 14IRH8 (N1CN BIOS).

                                    The BIOS update via Windows failed and now the laptop does not boot:
                                    - Black screen
                                    - Fans spin
                                    - No POST
                                    - Crisis recovery attempts fail

                                    I have read the BIOS chip (Winbond 25R64JVSIQ, 8MB) using CH341A.

                                    I need help fixing the BIOS dump.

                                    Attached in zip files:
                                    - Original backup (backup1.bin)
                                    - Lenovo BIOS file (WinN1CN15WW.fd)

                                    Thanks in advance!...

                                    Hi,

                                    I need help with a Samsung NP900X3E-K02HU BIOS.
                                    S/N: JDML91GD500012K

                                    Motherboard: AMOR2-13-MONO Rev 1.0 (photo attached)

                                    After reinstalling Windows and rebooting, the BIOS stopped working properly. 1) With my original dump (corrupted)

                                    File: samsung_np900x3e_kiolv.bin
                                    • On power on I only get a black screen / freeze
                                    • I cannot enter BIOS Setup
                                    • The laptop does not boot Windows
                                    • (External HDMI output also does not help / still freezes)
                                    2) With another dump (works, but LCD is wrong)

                                    File: samsung_np900 10 saniye.bin (att...

                                    Surface Pro X 1876 Bios corrupted
                                    by FalconPunch
                                    Hello everyone, I happen to have a Microsoft Surface Pro X 1876 in my hands. It was brought to me by a friends which happen to have taken off the bios chip to test another motherboard. Upon putting back the bios chip on the original motherboard, The PC is stucked on Windows logo and won t boot to bios or anything. I suspect that the changes of bios chip somehow corrupted the firmware inside. Is the hypothesis correct?

                                    Also i extracted the bios inside the chip which was on Winbond 25R128JWPQ you can find the file attached if you can fix it (if possible, I would like some insight on...
