Battery doesn't last very long at all if you are doing anything intensive anyhow......almost have to have it plugged in to do anything worthwhile.

Yeah realised it was DDR3......too bad because it performed well in my other laptop (that died)

Lenovo Y410p / Y510p - unlocked BIOS / wlan whitelist mod / vbios mod

Wow, strange that a little undervolting would kill the processor. -

I just did mine without a hitch. Took me about 5-10 minutes end to end. Appreciate the work that went into it! -
So, why does Lenovo create BIOS restrictions?
LiverpoolsNo9 replied to pedrobearmon's topic in Lenovo
Lenovo is primarily a business company. If you lock down the list of components that can be installed its easier to provide support, and costs IT and warranty departments less money. Its as simple as that.- 30 replies

LiverpoolsNo9 replied to svl7's topic in Lenovo
From what I can tell from reading through the thread only a handful have been affected, and its only the ones that have tried overclocking/undervolting from within the bios itself. Everyone else seems to be running just fine. -

I remember reading another post somewhere, where the user had completely dismantled and soldered on the board, and they still fixed it, so you are probably in with a shout. -

So just to clarify, this mod is perfectly safe at the moment, as long as you dont overclock/undervolt?!?!?! -
.....just a heads up for anyone thinking about using Corsair Vengeance memory in their Y510p......just don't......it causes major instability and BSODs. It was an expensive lesson, and I'm back on the memory it came with.

The Broadcom DW1510 should work with the modified Bios, and is OSx compatible. -

If you update the bios after, it enables the lenovo whitelist again, and only the permitted cards will be allowed. -

Did you get it all working mate? -
Yeah I got the 840 pro as well, but considering adding the msata card if I can find one at a decent price.

I got my caddy from hddcaddy.com and it only took a few minutes to install.....quite pleased with it, just wish it had come with the front bezel, so I didn't have to take the one off the optical drive.

You have to go into the bios first and enable backflash, then it should update without issue.
