God I f**king hate Lenovo for making us do this. I was able to do this before I had my laptop repaired without any issues at all, but now I can't unlock the BIOS after having it repaired and getting a new motherboard. I'm running BIOS 3.05 but I cannot backup my current BIOS (for editing) the fptw64 bat. batch terminal just appears and exits for a split second. I am running it as ADMIN. It just pops up for like half a second and disappears. Nothing happens and no backup is made. Also I tried to check my BIOS version with the InsydeFlash program from official Lenovo site. It just fails upon opening with BIOS VERSION COMPARE ERROR! I don't even get to see my version or anything. Can anyone help with either of these 2 issues? I really want to use my 7260-AC card. The one this laptop came with is a piece of junk... as is this manufacturer...

Don't post in all caps, it makes it seem like you are yelling. Y510p ultrabay card probably won't work with your Y410p. AFAIK the Y410p has the GT 750 the Y510p has the 755. Also you would need the power adapter. It's not worth bothering with if you didn't get the card with your laptop. There's also issues reported by people who bought an aftermarket card and adapter that they can't get SLI working properly and they get stuttering in games. Either way don't use all caps and do your own research. There's plenty of info on the lenovo forums.

Can someone please post the LATEST MODDED BIOS for the Y510P. I need it because I am using an Intel Wireless AC 7260try which is not on the Lenovo Whitelist and thus my laptop won't boot if I try to use this card. I am currently using modded BIOS 3.05 So could someone please upload a MODDED version of BIOS 3.08. The couple thousand of us who are using the Y510p would REALLY be grateful!

Nevermind. I took a random stab at the idea that the first card (seeing as it's embedded into the laptop) probably shares the same BIOS as the PCs BIOS (hence why nvflash is like WTF is this?) so I just went ahead and backed up the Ultrabay card (which in this case is <1>) not <0>. So yeah, and that worked fine. Backed it up, then flashed it over with the OC one. I couldn't do the first one, but after reading the first post I get the feeling that I am not supposed to. As for me. I now have the modded 3.05 BIOS without a whitelist, plus the BIOS tweaks + the Ultrabay OC vBIOS. My huge thanks to the OP and everyone on this forum. Definitely worth spending the €4.40 to get the attachment files. Now I can use my Intel 7260HMW chip

Hi thanks but I fixed the problem. The problem wasn't that, because when I tried to drag the .bin file into the opened Bios_Fixer2.0.exe there was a black circle with a cross through it. I couldn't drag anything into it at all. What I did to fix the problem was I put all the files from folder [1] into the same directory as the Bios_Fixer2.0.exe that was in folder [2] by itself. Plus I moved the .bin backup that I made into it, and then I did exactly what you said. Dragged the file into the open Bios_Fixer2.0.exe. It seems that you need those files from folder [1] as they are part of what you need to make the modded bios.bin file. I wish that was explained in the first post but well I guess the OP went ahead and thought that you would just realise that yourself or that you would automatically stick it all on the USB drive like I did myself. I was trying to drag the .bin into the .exe whilst they were in a separate folder all by themselves. After putting it all into the same folder I got the [+] box that allowed me to actually drag a file into the program. I have another problem now though because I have an SLI setup. When I try and flash the vBIOS over as explained in the second post I get this error: I have no idea what that means... but because I have a SLI laptop setup with the ultrabay card. I apparently need to be able to do this... does anyone have any ideas? I can't even --save the current vBIOS that I have because it gives me the same error no matter what I try and do.

I failing on step (2). Whenever I try to drag my bios.bin into Bios_Fixer2.0.exe nothing happens. The app just opens and tells me to be careful etc. There is no modified .bin file that is made after doing this. In addition to that there is no 'unlock' option when right clicking the Bios Fixer.exe and selecting 'Properties' Literally nothing happens when I try and drag .bin file onto the Bios Fixer.exe. I've tried running as admin, disabling UAC. Basically everything. I paid for a membership to this forum so I could download files because it seemed like it would take forever to get a mod to approve my posts and because I am impatient. Now I have spent the last 2 hours basically wasting my time as it seems I cannot progress past this step. Other people seem to be having success. How the heck are you people getting past this step? My back is killing me from leaning over this laptop and I feel like burning down a Lenovo factory at this point. I just want this proceedure over and done with. Why is Bios_Fixer2.0.exe not making me the modified BIOS file? P.S. Yes I did already update to version 3.05 from the official Lenovo website, before doing the backup via the backup.bat.

Elo all, as the name suggests. For the time being I'm here to grab some attachments created by the amazing team here at techinferno My sincerest gratitude to anyone who has done the modding work for me ^^

I'm just about to mod my laptop with the 7260HMW card. I got it on Ebay for about $34 AUD. It came after about 2 weeks or so of postage. It's a shame that Lenovo are like Dell and they keep a BIOS whitelist though that made me really unhappy. I don't see any point in this as other manufacturers don't do that.

I almost thought the LCD overclock was a typo. Personally anything over 60Hz makes my eyes hurt and gives me eye fatigue. I think a lot of people are with me on that. Surely it can't be good for the monitor either.
