Renovatio Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hey Lenovo-experts, does anyone know a biosmod for the new Thinkpad E330? I´d like to use it with an eGPU-setup but I don´t want to do a hotswapping in order to get rid of the whitelisting. Maybe someone knows a bios/software method to remove whitelisting? I´m not sure whether port 1 is really mPCIe capable or just mSATA but port 2 is definately mPCIe because there sits my wifi at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renovatio Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi svl7, my current BIOS is: LENOVO 1.14 (BIOS ID: H3ET31WW), date: 13.07.2012 link to file description: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/h3uj04ww.txt link to the win7 BIOS update utility with BIOS 1.14: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/h3uj04ww.exe Do you know how I could find out whether or not my port 2 is mPCIe? To be honest I have never updated any BIOS and definately never used a tweaked BIOS, so I am kind of a noob on that topic! How does this work in general? What could go wrong? Is there a way to save a backup of the original BIOS and use that backup in case anything goes wrong with the modded-BIOS? Sorry for the noob questions but I am new to this Thank you for your help!

svl7 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'll give it a try when my system is back on, I should get my replacement SSD tomorrow and then I can start setting up everything and go back to modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Details at PCIe ports->Anti-whitelist.!Save/Restore . I tried that but unfortunately it did not help. On my other laptop Setup 1.x works perfectly fine and I really appreciate all the work you have put into that outstanding program! @svl7: Thank you for giving it a try. I am very busy myself right now so take your time and don´t feel rushed or anything. In the meantime maybe you could answer some of my noobish questions Edit: any news on your system restore?

Renovatio Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 *bumb: @svl7: Sorry for bringing this thread up again and again. It seems that you do not have enough time to look into my BIOS. Therefore let me ask whether you know anyone else who could help me with my BIOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
