Thank you so much! I installed the new BIOS and it worked! It displayed an image via HDMI but not on the screen. Actually, it did, but the screen didn't light up.

Do you have an image when you shine a flashlight to the screen? That means "no backlight" fault, check the backlight fuse FG3301 first, open a new thread in troubleshooting laptops section if you need help https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...mobile-devices

Common fault if the screen is disconnected before disconnecting the battery; unplug battery, measure continiuty across the fuse FG3301, if blown, replace it, 3A 32V 0402 size fuseComment

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,...10-11-2024, 03:12 PM -
