  1. And I now have the machine back from the service. They claim to have changed the motherboard, don't know how to check it but I will trust them on that one. The machine comes with the same v8.00 BIOS and a fresh image on the HDD. Interestingly enough they asked me to send the machine back in the original configuration. I had swapped out the caching SSD for a bigger one and installed the OS on in one but they wouldn't take it like that. Good thing it's almost impossible to sell those 16GB SSDs and I still had it around to drop back in there. I am now contemplating whether I should attempt a BIOS unlock while paying more attention or just drop it and deal with the spotty wifi performance. I don't care much for overclocking, machine is fast enough, but the intermittent wifi is killing any streaming or online gaming attempt.
  2. I have tried everything I could think of, all filename combinations but I fear that without a proper BIOS bin for my machine I am unable to fix it myself. Thank you for all the support, it is now up to Lenovo to fix my mistakes.
  3. I do feel guilty for my own stupidity and would rather attempt a fix myself than having Lenovo waste another motherboard. I have tried the Fn+B boot procedure but it seems I don't have the right BIOS file to repair my machine. All it does is start with high fan rotations but no beeps whatsoever. I have tried my own backup as created with svl7's tool as well as some of the files from the 5DCN39WW and 5DCN40WW BIOS updates posted by Lenovo. I have tried with all sorts of file names and nothing worked. If anyone has a valid 8.00 bin that is definitely picked up by the InsydeH2O recovery procedure then please PM me or post here. Thank you!
  4. I managed to brick my laptop with an incorrect mod. I believe I flashed the v801 mod on a v800 machine. Could someone please post the unlocked bios screens or the menu structure so that I might attempt a blind reflash ? I assume I would have to re-enable legacy support, enable usb boot again and try to reflash.
  5. Hello, I have managed to put myself in a very difficult situation. I believe I had a Y580 with bios v800 and I went ahead and modded it with the v801.bin I say I believe because I can't tell for sure but my machine is definitely in an inconsistent state right now. I am stuck with the black screen boot that won't POST or do anything else. I have tried numerous key combinations and power up procedures but I can't get to any other screen. I need HELP I have the original backup, I now have a v800Fix.bin with the correct mod (hopefully) but I have no way to apply it. Please help me unbrick my machine!
