Bios 2.07 y410p intel 7260 working wonders expect for the sleep problem when Bluetooth is switched on.

I think mine is ok. I tried press sleep button. The fan will still work for couple minutes and then my pc goes to sleep (fan off).

check "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" see if there is "AwayModeEnabled--value=1" delet it.

check powercfg /requests and powercfg /a and see if those are normal

check power setting see if those settings are sleep or "hibernate", if that is what you want.

or disable bluetooth because even open bluetooth it will still lost data during sleeping.

Hope this helps

Ok thanks rune.

i modded the backup bios from a Win7 computer and reflashed. But still i get boot problems.

When i turn on the laptop, a "_" cursor appears in the upper left corner for about a few seconds, and then the Lenovo logo appears.

I have now installed the original 2230-N Card and now i have no boot problems. I still have the modded bios installed.

The "_" cursor only appears now for a few milliseconds when i turn on the laptop.

I dont know whats wrong (?)

best regards

i got this too, but not a problem I think. It is ok

hope one of them can help

It's a command line application. In the folder where you have those files stored click on 'File' then move your mouse to 'Open command prompt' and then click on 'Open command prompt as administrator'. Then type the command specified above.

How stupid I was! Thank you very much for your work, very valueable help and patient. Now I am using the new 7260 and I am looking forward to see your v2.04 2.07 bios unlock mod.

Thank you vey much

The file for v2.xx bios versions is called v2xxMod.bin, so make sure to adjust that.

I have everything in a same folder.

I run it in cmd. otherwise, it will flash out, and not able to capture a pic.

did I do anything wrong?

For those who don't like the restrictions put on their system by Lenovo, here's a BIOS mod that will get you back at least some of the freedom you should have over your own hardware.

Features:

- Wlan whitelist removed, any (hardware-wise compatible) card should now work

- hidden BIOS menus unlocked

- VBIOS tweaked for more performance and better tuning possibilities

Keep in mind that not necessarily all of the BIOS options available with this mod will function completely, so use the new functionality with care. If you're unsure about something don't change it and ask here, someone might be able to help.

This is currently only for v1.07 / v1.09 / v1.10 users. If you have a different BIOS I will need a copy of it in order to make it work for your system.

EDIT: v2.04 and v2.07 added (only whitelist removal as for now, more to follow).

Instructions:

• Create a backup of your own BIOS by using this tool.
  The archive contains the files of the program and a .bat file that will create a backup of your BIOS. You need to call the .bat file from an admin command prompt.
  Don't delete your backup file, you will need it in case you want to go back to the stock BIOS some times. Also don't share it since it contains your personal Windows key including activation.
  .
  
• Download the attached BiosFixer, simply drag and drop your BIOS backup on it and it will create your personal mod for you.
  .
  
• Flash the modified file with the tool from the first step, use the command below:
  

  fptw64 -f v1xxMod.bin -bios

  
  .
  

• Wait for the flash process to finish, if you don't get an error reboot. (You can safely ignore warnings about non-existing regions).
  .
  

If you get and 'Error 104' when trying to flash, grab this archive and extract the file to the folder with the flash tool. Overwrite the original one.

In case you still get the error after doing this, run fptw64 -i > info.txt and attach the .txt file to a post here, then I should be able to help you.

Can someone please post some pictures of the bios menus? Thanks.

A screenshot of Nvidia Inspector showing the OC part would be nice as well, just for visual confirmation. I don't have a system to test it myself.

I got a " Error 200: Invalid parameter value specified by user. Use -? option to see help. " when trying to use the ftpw64. it just asks "press any key to continue," and after that it returns an error 200. seems only me get this here

You can't see the NGFF SSD in WIndows because it was never assigned a drive letter. If you look in diskmgmt.msc you will see the drive.

You need to install the ExpressCache software and check that it is working by using the eccmd -info command.

I wouldn't have wasted money on the recovery DVD's either. You could just have taken an image using Paragon Hard Disk Manager, Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost, or some other drive image software of the main HDD and cache SSD before you even started up Windows so you had a fresh factory install image to just restore in a snap instead of re-installing off of DVDs.

Thank you for your help. Now I wish I did the clone image. The reason I wanted to order the recovery discs in the very first is I upgrade to win 8.1 and not able to use onekey recovery to downgrade back to win 8. So, I ordered and hoped it can help me out.

And they did not charge me on the discs. I guess it might be because my Y510p is a brand new one.

Question: Why on earth do you want to use the recovery CD's? Your Windows license is stored in UEFI and a lot of Windows 8/7 are out there.

All the necessary drivers/software are on Lenovo website.

Oh, and i just try to install windows by using a win 8 disc, sometimes I will not be able to see the 24 ngff ssd, but I can see it when using recovery disc.

I intended to recovery them once for all, so I ordered it. The original is always the best? Just personal feeling.

This is the second time I order the recovery cds for the nearly purchased Y510p. As same, when I select MFG recovery, the recovery progress does not recognize the DISC 3 because no matter how many times I try to insert disc 3, the driver just pop up. I also try other 3 cds, and don't work either.

The bios has been set as legency. hdd has been replace as ssd and set as compatible.

Does anyone have any idea?

No, I don't think so. My computer still won't sleep (running 8.1 and the latest drivers). However, I've found a workaround: disable the Bluetooth driver, but since I use Bluetooth it's kind of a hassle.

If someone has found a solution please tell me

sounds like power control, did you try to search the latest driver update?

Hi!

Today i saw NGFF SSDs in stock on Amazon.

Is hidden options contain anything about disabling/enabling Intel Smart Response?

Is it possible to move Win8 on ngff ssd and boot from it?

I think you can, but you need to adjust the setting in bios and the way you format that drive. I tried to do a fresh os installation. In some way, I can see it in drive options before the os installed but not be able to see that partition after a Win8 is done except using the recovery cds. I have not tried to explore. Probably, driver?

This is currently only for v1.07 / v1.09 / v1.10 users. If you have a different BIOS I will need a copy of it in order to make it work for your system.

I am trying to whitelist my new intel 7260 and, think I have a newer version of y510p bios which is 2.07. I was not sure yesterday, but after double checking in my bios setting today, it is a v2.07. Lenovo does update their bios really quick. Does anyone know this version?

I am still waiting for the recovery cds to do a whole new installation. After that I will use svI7's tool to make a backup. Hope he can help me to do the mod. Thanks to him here.

I am new to the forum. I am trying to replace the hdd of my new y510p with a samsung 500g ssd. But, when i change the setting in bios, it seems not possible to change it back. I can not use uefi to boot the laptop (shows"checking media") and the hard drive can not set as achi either; the only way to do the system installaion is set hd as compatible and bios as legacy. Does anyone know how to slove this?

Thank you very much! This is exactly what I am looking for so long. I just bought a Y510p and updated the memory, ssd, and wireless card. Without this post, I would have to return them.

However, where can I check the latest update bios firmware and the version I use? I checked with lenovo website, and they don't offer bios download and update.

On AID64 EE it says 2.07, which I am confused about.
