Getting my y510p sent in. Will probably reflash the bios when I get it back but I probably wont mess with any settings unless I know that they work and wont brick the mobo again. lol. It seems to only be the cpu voltage settings that brick so far.

The EC flash that was referred to as critical in the instructions can also brick it, that's what bricked mine. I made no changes in the BIOS, never had the chance.

Ugh, i told them I updated my bios and that it didnt turn on afterwords but they labeled it a user accident and so i have to pay for them to replace the motherboard...such as my luck.

I should have just said i turned it off and then it wouldnt turn back on.

Just curious, what price did they quote (if you're in the US)?

I did just tell them it wouldn't turn on. Didn't even pay shipping. I figured they wouldn't spend the time needed to see exactly what happened.

I think it's good modded bios... ( I don't have find any else)....

Anyone have brick on this laptop with this bios?

I bricked mine, didn't change any voltage settings or overclocking. As soon as I flashed the EC it shut down. Deader than dead, any recovery attempts failed. I was able to get it fixed by Lenovo, though I haven't been able to verify yet, the package just arrived at home today.

Ok, I think I bricked my y510p, but want to be sure. The bios flash worked fine, but when I ran ec.exe when it was done the laptop shut down. I dang hurt it to do anything now, no lights or fan.
