Same problem

With this file, https://www.badcaps.net/download/?id=76a826ad error 2100 disappears but I will need to copy all the data from the original bios to this file

[odemontealto]

Well, I found out that the DMI information is hosted in the EC. So any bios file in good condition for this device model will do.

DMI is in EC yes, but win key is in bios

Hello.

I have the same problem. It doesn't detect the M.2 port. I've tried all the files listed here without success.

The file I used is: "L13 Gen 2 (type 20VH, 20VJ) Laptops (ThinkPad) - Type 20VH LAR-2 MB 19837-1.rar" --> It starts up, but it doesn't detect m.2
My 'original' file doesn't work: "bios_original_bad.rar" --> It doesn't do anything

Can someone help me?
Thanks.

hi try

This file worked! I had to remove the NVMe SSD for the update to apply correctly. Finally, I reconnected the NVMe SSD and the system booted into Windows without any problems. Everything is perfect.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I also have the 2100: Detection error on Main SATA (M.2).

But only if there is no nvme present. When I connect a nvme everything works fine.
I shouldnt get this message when no ssd is connected so I think this maybe is also a bios issue!?

Try again with these files

[Clarify4082]

Both not working, but also my original file is not working anymore .

I think, I´ve an issue with my programmer. I use neoprogrammer and/or asprogrammer.

But I´ve differences between the programmer and hxd.

Is this normal?:

No, that's not normal. Flash the file I gave you first, and follow this exact sequence: Erase → Write → Verify

Hi, thank you.

That´s strange, the bios did not work the board is only taking 0.018A. So I checked the rails and the 1V line seems to be short.
When I inject voltage, the processor heats up. So I think I messed this up

thanks anyway for your help!

You're Welcome! and Sorry to hear that.
That short needs to be fixed; otherwise, it won't boot, of course
