Hello all. My system is a Lenovo Y510p and looking for open bios. I hope to learn how to do these things myself. -
There is an existing petition to have Lenovo release an unemcombered version of their BIOS located on Change.org h t t p s : //www.change.org/p/lenovo-release-an-unencumbered-version-of-the-bios.

As not all vendors have restricted their BIOS's, it could be experimenting with customer reactions. Locking down hardware forces consumers to buy up, buying one level higher than the need "just in case", since options do not exist. Future sales will likely be hurt unless all comparable vendors lock down the BIOS as well.
