Re: X280 BIOS Password, tried short, now dead

Uploaded

Hello,

I've got Lenovo X280 with lost password issue. I've tried to short pins 5,6 multiple times as instructed and laptop was not taking it - it was going off or restarting, then it stopped working completely. Now it only lights up and then reboots but nothing comes up on the screen. It gets really hot as well and fans start spinning fast.
Thinking bios chip died I got myself CH341A Programmer and new BIOS chips. Laptop uses this model 25Q128JVSQ.
I did manage to backup up old BIOS and tried flashing other ones I found online but it just made things worse. After...
