pmckart Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I will be trying this soon. I also had the misfortune of using the battery gauge recalibration software before becoming aware of it's potential for ultimate doom. I am hoping re-flashing the BIOS will fix whatever bug is preventing the motherboard from registering a plugged in power cable, without resetting everything over and over lol...

Krysiun Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hello everyone, I'm new here in the forum and i don't speak english 100%, but i'll try. I have a Lenovo Ideapad y500 gor about a year and i've been living a nightmare with it. I found out the links to this modded Bios, but i'm not sure if i would be able to chance the wireless card after mod my bios... is that correct? Still can't download the files, (i read the forum rules about it), but i don't know what to do anymore. I just can't work with this fantastic "Lenovo Offline Gamer Laptop" from hell. I'm considering bring this peace of crap to the firing range and solve the problem there. Thx in advance and sorry bout anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeps Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 can i add an external gpu using the bios mod. by using the EXP GDC Laptop External PCI-E Graphics Card v7 ? it would really help to future proof the y400/y500 series since there are 2 mini pcie slots available.

Taartmans Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 @FunnyI think you first need to update your BIOS to a version of 2.02 or higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
