  1. Finally I got it. Didn't work the first time but then is somehow did later.
  2. Also didn't have any issues in Linux Mint, it just worked.
  3. I installed an Intel 7260 I bought some months ago, naively thinking I can just install it.
  4. Alright, finally managed to get it done, everything worked beautifully. The only problem I encountered was with creating the bootable DOS drive as instructed here, encountered some "write protect" error, maybe some compatibility issues with Win 10. Did manage to make a FreeDOS drive with Rufus and flash successfully. Thanks to all involved!
  5. Yes, it is not an insurmountable problem, think I can probably create a bootable USB Windows drive.
  6. Looks like v2.04 is still available on Lenovo's website here: https://support.lenovo.com/gb/en/downloads/ds101628-bios-update-for-windows-8-64-bit-ideapad-y400-y500 Unfortunately it looks like it is only possible to install via windows, to answer my own (2nd) question.
  7. Coming to this party extremely late, I have two questions: 1. Are these files still available at all, i.e. will I be able to download without issue them if I pay for the Tier I Elite membership? 2. Is it possible to perform this unlock without windows installed on my machine? Am I correct in understanding that the bios can be backed up and flashed from a bootable removable drive with DOS , and that windows is only required to do the patching, something I presume can be done with a Virtual Machine?
