Re: mec 16xx dump with info block
Hi!
I have a ThinkPad X270 with a bricked EC image after a bad flash under Windows, I have a svod4 programmer but I can't seem to be able to read the MEC1653, I tried using the 32-pin keyboard connector after taking out R182 but I still can't read it, is there any test points I can use to hook it up directly?

Re: Lenovo x270 bios+ec

It sadly didn't work, I verified the write a handful of times, lol
solid green light, no beeps, left it running for a good 10 minutes; I flashed back the clean ME version from an earlier post here and it boots fine but presents the same problem

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Thanks for the tool! It worked perfectly on a 3rd gen X1 Carbon.
just as a note for anyone having a 5 short, 5 short beep issue at least with this model after flashing the patch, you need to remove the system board and disconnect the CR2016 battery that sits on the other side of the board, reattach the ribbon cables and power it on, afterwards you can flash the stock BIOS back and reconnect the CMOS battery

Re: Lenovo x270 bios+ec
Hi, can someone help me repair this BIOS? The laptop only blinks the power button three times but doesn't want to power on, no fan spin either, this seemingly happened after a BIOS flash over Windows Update...
thanks!...Leave a comment:
