AbrarZShahriar Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Quick question. I have not modded the BIOS or vBIOS but overclocked the 650m. The problem is that games crash after a few minutes. Temps are well. So is this because Nvidia drivers artificially crashing and freezing the games because they don't want 650M users to overclock or what?

AbrarZShahriar Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 @svl7 can you provide downloads to stuff needed for Y500 with single 650M BIOS mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akarsan Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 not sure if anyone has came across this before. i've installed the hacked 2.04 bios, and installed the intel ac7260 card. installation of the bios is fine, installed the drivers for the intel wifi card, and rebooted. some how the wireless doesnt work, i mean its like there is no wifi adapter installed. so i rebooted again. second reboot works fine. after shutting down the laptop, removed the power adapter and booted up the machine again from coldboot. the same issue happens, no wireless. reboot and it works again. i was running windows 7 at that time. after a couple of days with the issue re occuring, i formatted the laptop and installed a fresh copy of windows 8.1. still doesnt fix the problem. from cold boot, will not detect wireless, its as though there is no wireless adapter installed. will need to reboot again then only can detect.

nica_ro Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 OK, thanks. As it seems that you installed a fresh copy of Windows, maybe you didn't plug it in very good in the PCI-E slot, that being the problem...or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nica_ro Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I just updated the BIOS to OEM 2.04. Had some problems during reboot, but managed to enter BIOS and select Legacy boot instead of UEFI. Is it recomended after installing the moded BIOS to reinstall the OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nica_ro Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I discovered a "trick" to speed up things with WiFi: turn off Bluetooth! WiFi speed increased from 70 Mbps to 120 Mbps. Hoping that the Intel AC7260 will decrease the gap between wireless and wired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skmurarka Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Has anyone tried to do this process after upgrading to OEM bios v2.04? Do you think there will be a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octiceps Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Has anyone tried to do this process after upgrading to OEM bios v2.04? Do you think there will be a problem?Nope, been running modded 2.04 for well over a year now. I flashed stock 2.04 package (BIOS & EC) before it became publicly available on Lenovo's site and then unlocked it with svl7's mod.BTW hope you're doing well @svl7. Haven't seen you around in forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you also know if there is a way to get miracast working with this laptop because I heard that to use the intel wireless display feature we need to have intel hd 4000 graphics card (which this model does but doesn't recognize it)?

skmurarka Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Is it recommended to format the computer after installing this modded bios? I see that a couple of people have asked this question but there was never really a discussion regarding this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nica_ro Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Just to make things clear: using this BIOS mod won't affect using the ultrabay GPU if I'm not planning on modding the GPU BIOS, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew.We Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thinking about doing this today, getting a bit fed up of the crappy 2230 Intel WLAN card...Came across an argument regarding which card to replace it with, most were saying a better Intel card, anyone have better suggestions?
