well i edited my post just pm me what the issue with the activation is thanks

!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those people who want to unlock their BIOS for the Lenovo Y 500 I'm going to list what I've tried what's works and what didn't work for me

1.Intel HD4000 graphics - Not working -think it's a frame buffer issue

2. Intel WIDI - Not working - No Intel Graphics Support

3. Memory - Overclocking Memory worked via advanced Menu

4. CPU - Overclocking worked via the multiplier - In advanced Menu Please Replace stock thermal paste if you going to attempt (ex IC Diamond)

5. Raid - Not working - In advanced Menu I can switch to Raid Mode but in the config Menu there was still only AHCI and IDE mode only tryed to restart in raid mode Bios would revert Back to AHCI Mode

6.Power Management - Working - you can set C-State via Unlocked Power Menu

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Windows 8 (64bit) Standard (preinstalled on all Y 500)

And all so a BIG THANKS TO SVL7 for helping me out

P.S I have Bios ver. 1.3 with the elan Touch Pad I have to return my laptop touch Pad issues

I believe Bios ver. 1.5 users have the Synaptics touch pad which as far as I know has no issues

(note) Returning to stock Bios Version 1.3 windows 8 is activated Hope this answer everyone's Questions

it's not the same bios 1.3 comes with a different windows 8 basic key then bios 1.5

P.S. If you have bios 1.3 installed and update to the unlocked 1.5 bios your windows will be deactivated

bios1.3 to bios unlocked mod 1.3 = windows activated

bios1.5 to bios unlocked mod 1.5 = windows activated

bios 1.3 to bios unlocked mod 1.5 =windows deactivated

so how do we get around that error? svl7

I think it's a win 8 problem I'm Waiting for svl 7 to reply to me and tell me how to fix so i can install the bios mod

Hello I have the same problem with the y500 can you help me unlock the bios so I can use my laptop it was intended to be used
