rfu3 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I just ordered a USB programmer and I'm going to attempt to flash my bricked bios without removing the two chips. I don't want to risk damaging the board by soldering. Does anyone have a suitable copy of the bios suitable for flashing to the Winbond 16 (EC) and Winbond 32 (Bios) chips. Ideally I want to use the modded bios to put in a 5Ghz band WiFi card but for now any version will do as it is currently bricked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philuk86 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hi, i am interested in how this works out. I too have a bricked motherboard as a result of flashing. It came second-hand with a very old bios version and i tried to update it. There seams to be a couple of websites that provide the EC and BIOS files but they are behind a subscription. In the end I sent my motherboard back for the seller to re-soldier me some new chips but at first he did mention that if I buy a heat gun and a cheap programmer I could probably do this myself. The other option would be to find someone selling a pair pre-programmed chips, which from what i see are not much more expensive than subscribing to get the bios files. I hope all goes well for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H658tu Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Here you go: Lenovo Y510p v3.08.7z If you want a different version then please provide a download link. Same thing for the wifi whitelist. And not all systems support ISP, so desoldering may turn out to be necessary after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philuk86 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Out of interest are these files pre-patched with the whitelist removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H658tu Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 No, vanilla. Maybe this version will do the trick: Lenovo Y410p, Y510p v3.08 mod.7z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyitsme8717 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hey everyone, I bricked my Y410P using the bios mod to undervolt my cpu. Does anyone happen to have the Y410P vanilla bios files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
