Hello everyone! I would like to unlock the BIOS on my laptop. The refresh rate cap is really bothering me and I feel I can't unlock my machines full potential. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! System Info: https://www.sendspace.com/file/4helar

Has anyone successfully used the following WiFi card in a Y50 (modded bios with white-list removed)? Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 (8260NGW) NGFF wifi card 867Mbps 2.4/5GHz

Hello! I have a Lenovo Y50 with a shitty Wifi-Card and i wanted to unlock the BIOS, so i can replace it with a better one! Now I saw there are Instructions for the Y500 but none for the Y50! Is there a possibility for me to unlock it on my own, or do I have to rely on other Users on this Forum, who know how to do it? Greatly appriciate any help regarding that matter :/. My BIOS is on V1.13 by the way.

Hello Tech Inferno! I bought Y50-70 recently and just learned there is BIOS whitelisting for WWAN adapters. I have already ordered Intel 7260 AC to replace the horrible Realtek one. When it finally arrives I wouldn't want to be nailed to Realtek because of BIOS whitelist, does anyone know if there is "fixed" BIOS available already or how long does it normally take for someone with the knowledge to make one for all? Was little suprised to find wireless adapter on M.2 btw.

Thank you to anyone that submits their computer to these tests. also I'm terribly sorry for asking so many questions i just want to cover all of the bases. the details on this laptop online are scarce and i hope this answers a lot of peoples questions. The fan control question is of particular importance to me In general more pictures and screenshots would also be helpful try focusing on... well, everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to know what the bios menu looks like in the Y50 what settings are available and what menus are given by Lenovo by default. I would like to know if the fans are able to be controlled with SpeedFan this was one of my major dislikes about my current Y510P and its preference to chose minimum cooling policy making even simple games run at 98c consistently. I would like to know if the SSD included runs via a M2 slot of a MSATA slot and the R/W of of the drive, please specify the size and any other info (including os) I would like to know how far back the screen can bend preferably in the form of an angle measurement from what I've seen online it appears to stop at aprox. 150° additional photos of the hinges would be VERY helpful also pictures in general would be much appreciated. I would like to know how the system deals with heat (again a major concern from the y510p) general information would be helpful along with Furr Mark, Unigine Valley and other benchmarks that focus on CPU or GPU performance anything that preforms a high power stress test. Please specify which usb port provides the always on function. Also a high resolution well focused picture of the keyboard would be much appreciated i would like to know if the keys are flat or if they are arched like the Y510p's keyboard, and could you describe the ease of use of the trackpad. What is the wattage of the power supply provided? 170w or 130w also what kind of connector does it use? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you once again Y50 owners for answering the questions above there may be more below and answer those if you would like and know we all appreciate it.
