Helios747 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hello, I'm trying to unlock the BIOS on my y410p so I can swap the wlan card and undervolt the GPU for better heat management. I'm trying to follow the directions listed in http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/4668-lenovo-y410p-y510p-unlocked-bios-wlan-whitelist-mod-vbios-mod.html to the letter, but I'm getting stuck at step 2: Let the BiosFixer prepare your BIOS for flashing by drag and dropping your backup file on it. Put the created "v305mod.bin" file to the root of your USB DOS drive as well. I tried dragging and dropping the backup bios file I created in step one, "bios.bin" file onto it. It doesn't do anything. I just get this window. I've tried dragging "bios.bin" into that window. Nothing. I've tried running the biosfixer_2.0.exe as administrator, then dragging bios.bin onto it. Nothing. I'm running Windows 8.1 x64 with UAC disabled. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helios747 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Tried both of your suggestions. It's still not creating any new files. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios747 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Fixed it. These were the steps I did.- Updated my laptop to 3.05 (Even though it was already at 3.05. Did it anyways.)- Redownloaded everything from the thread.- Extracted everything to the desktop- Ran backup.bat- Opened biosfixer_2.0.exe- Dragged bios.bin onto it- it seemed to work this time.So tl;dr, not sure what was wrong, but just restarting from scratch seemed to fix things. Go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anybody help me ?? Try run it normal (not as an administrator). Put all the files in the same folder on Desktop. When I run it as administrator it didn't make the new file. Hope it helps.

Ex1Lee Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Redownload it and place it all on the desktop, if not maybe you could try an fresh installation ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
