Installation README 
Updated Date:2012-10-15 

This package updates the basic input/output system (BIOS) on IdeaPad Y480 Y580.  

Updated Information:  Latest Version BIOS fixed the Windows Memory Diagnostic Hangs up at 99% Issue  


General Information:  5DCN39WW

not worth the risk, using a y480 tool to flash a y580. they have different bios.

for the Y570, lenovo eventually released updated bios roms that you could play with. I would just wait until lenovo releases a new y580 bios.

I have already called lenovo tech support requesting certain bios features, like automatic external display when closing laptop lid.

Maybe they might release a new bios rom with those options available.

hehe. i am hesitant.

is it much easier to mod the bios when lenovo releases an actual bios rom, instead of messing with bios dumps

I checked those bios dumps on biosmods forum, and they all have their ID's and serial numbers embedded in them in plain text.

each bios dump is going to be different.

i dumped mine using that tool, and I have different values than everyone else

count me in.

I just got my Y580 this week too.

I am running the old 2.03 bios

I can dump the bios if you post here how to do it properly.

I also checked hwinfo64 and it shows my uuid and serial number.

I think I need the 2.05 bios because my external monitor won't turn on automatically when I close the laptop lid.

they must have disabled it in 2.03.
