Photos of the settings that are now available to me (sorry for the quality): http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil…026014310303819
@sergeyshibaev228 - So, did above key combo work?
@sergeyshibaev228 - OK, then we’ll see if we can unlock the menu
Flash this back via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregm1.bin
Do you now see Power + Advanced?

*** WARNING - To ANYONE with laptop and unlocked BIOS!!!
DO NOT try to enable this graphics card or disable that card, switch cards etc. Otherwise you will end up with no display output (ie black screen) and no way to recover except by blind flash or with flash programmer.
You can change graphics related settings, like changing memory sizes, or core speeds etc, just don’t try to disable one card or change which is main etc.
Additionally, be very careful when trying to undervolt CPU, you can leave BIOS unbootable due to CPU voltage too low (Sometimes even 0.05 is too much)
WARNING *** - This BIOS is user specific! If you are not user sergeyshibaev228 at Win-RAID.com forum, DO NOT USE THIS BIOS!!
If you do, and you are not sergeyshibaev228, then you will loose your serial, UUID, OG NVRAM, and possibly LAN MAC ID as well.
You have been warned!!!

Hi
Thank you very much for your help!
But I had a little problem, I exchanged that laptop for a laptop of the same model, as I got a defect with sound.
Here’s my new dump: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil…368456074155419
I can still write my dump via FPT
Hope for your understanding, thanks!
@sergeyshibaev228 - You’re welcome, and it’s no problem! Here you go - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil…478468874466126
Flash this back via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregm2.bin
@sergeyshibaev228 - You’re welcome!
Great to hear all is there now, and than you for the quick report back!

Hello!
Run “GET VARS.bat” from this archive and share the output file “vars.txt”.
I also need your BIOS backup. Use BACKUP_Tools to get the “results.rar”.
I did it as soon as I saw your message, sorry, if it took a long time
results20.rar (10.5 MB)
vars.txt (212 KB)
@Morty1911
Your BIOS mod: Morty1911.zip. Set vars, reboot your device and then run flash.bat.
@Morty1911
As specified in my profile.

On mod. BIOS version EGCN27WW?
Hello! help me with a similar problem on my ideapad gaming 3 i5. I wanted to return the factory bios after unlocked, but after reboot, just a black screen, no backlight.
I tried to flash a dump that was posted by other people on the forum for repair specialists, but it even turned out byte to byte the same as my dump from an already broken laptop.
sorry for using the translator.
UPD.: We managed to solve the problem by searching for a BIOS dump and then flashing it.
@Sweet_Kitten @Lost_N_BIOS …
An emergency call for help from a completely noob , I just joined this beautiful forum , I have IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IMH05 same as sergey … and I don’t know a thing about BIOS dump … but what I need is to unlock my BIOS (to change my S/N) … I have the results20.rar and vars.txt files because I tested it before …
So i will appreciate it if you guys helped me .
EDIT: I linked the guide for reading and learning, not to take guidance from other users HW and bios protected values examples, as its not equal to all.
Lets say, that what a beginner user calls bios/rom, in these days its more called an SPI FIRMWARE system image, so your system as most of all, have protected areas on it that doesnt allow some operations to be done.
And as a beginner that you are…be very careful as this is not common tools/operations risk safe, advanced user experience is a must, and the risk of fail operations is always present.
In the thread you shared , He said : “Notice that BIOS/UEFI is not locked by the Flash Descriptor and thus OEMs are responsible for implementing BIOS-specific read/write restrictions such as Protected Range Registers and so on. That means that the Flash Descriptor is not responsible for any read/write restrictions set at the BIOS/UEFI region of the SPI chip, so the FD-related methods below will not be of any assistance in such cases.”
and my problem here is the Protected Range Registers and the Flash Descriptor has nothing to do with it as he said , right ?
Correct me if I’m wrong ^^ .
Edit :
Yeah , true …
I think I’ve to go to a technical support center to flash EEPROM (because I don’t have any programming chip + I can’t risk doing it myself).
But I wonder if there a way to change S/N in a low level (without flashing BIOS) where Windows can read it differently ?
Thanks…
@sergeyshibaev228
I have the same laptop with same model , with the same BIOS version EGCN29WW.
the flash command always fails with Error 167 : Protected Range Registers …
So how does it work for you ? Did you flash the EEPROM ? or What did you do ?
