Hello again everyone! I wanted to thank everyone for their help. I was able to successfully erase the SVP from my laptop and change the settings to allow me to boot into Linux. I really appreciate the time/effort/experience that goes into helping newbies like myself.
Everything works as expected, so it is not critical, but I get a message about "invalid RFID serialization area" which tells me there is something slightly off with the binary I flashed. I will post the original and modified binaries later if anyone cares to look.

Ah, okay. Thank you [USER="341209"]volinakis[/USER] . I'm assuming like this? Or is this the wrong header on the mobo?volinakisAh, okay. Thank you [USER="341209"]volinakis[/USER] . I'm assuming like this? Or is this the wrong header on the mobo?Leave a comment:

Hello, I am back. I have the SVOD 4 programmer and software, as well as the ribbon connector breakout and a variety of ribbon connectors. I am trying to flash a T14 Gen 3 AMD as well (NM-E441 Rev 1.0). My serial and product id are provided above. [USER="240937"]Maxpower3[/USER] Which ribbon header do I need to connect to on the motherboard? I do not see a ribbon in my set that works for the two headers closest to the security chip. Thanks in advance!Maxpower3Leave a comment:

Hello all,
I was in the other thread (about shorting to ground as a bypass).
I have a T14s Gen 3 AMD:
Serial: PF4PM76Y
Type: 21CGS0VT54
I'd have to open it up again to get the board revision but it has an npcx977 security chip.
My goal with this post was to understand the requirements for removing the SVP, etc.
It looks like I would need the SVOD4 programmer to write the npcx977.
Do I need anything else? Something to flash the bios? Ribbon Cable for MoBo sold separately?
I will probably purchase the required tools next payche...Leave a comment:

Ah okay. So regardless, desoldering is currently a must (as far as anyone is aware at least). Thank you for all of the valuable info [USER="244424"]rediii[/USER].rediiiAh okay.

Ah, okay. I will likely take the latter route then.
Just for the sake of curiosity, does the Nuvoton (Nu-Link2-Pro) programmer not work with the npcx997 either? I'm surprised that these chips cannot even be read from....Leave a comment:

Impossible for this method or in general?
I can get some of these npcx977 ICs pre-flashed for a thinkpad motherboard.
Would a chip swap work (I understand that it's not the easiest solder job)?...Leave a comment:

Hello again,
does this apply to the T14 Gen. 3 AMD laptop's as well?
If so do you know where I might find more information on reprogramming the npcx997?...Leave a comment:

My first post was written while I was at work and I did not have access to the T14. The Serial No and Type No are as foillows:
Serial: PF4PM76Y
Type: 21CGS0VT54
Not sure when I will have time to try the bypass, hopefully soon.Leave a comment:

Hi everyone. Searching the web for a SVP bypass has lead me to this forum where I see [USER="240937"]Maxpower3[/USER] is doing excellent work.
I also have the AMD T14 (Gen 3) with the npcx997 and wanted to give the bypass a go. I'm not requesting anything just yet (I will use the info you provided to [USER="543519"]Arenz[/USER] earlier in this thread), but just wanted to say hi for now. Best of luck everyone.Maxpower3...Leave a comment:

Hello everyone,
I am a software developer by profession, but have many hobbies, related or otherwise.
I am just starting to dabble in hardware and I am eager to learn more.
Happy hunting to all.Leave a comment:
