I moddet(again after repair) the BIOS  and now asks me the password :)). I tried: admin,000,1234,Lenovo. I never had the bios password.

Update : I made update to 3.08 and the password is still there. The password is stored in EEPROM? 

Update 2: I solved the password was number 1. I do not know where that came.

So I've done all the steps and everything is working better, but still not quite right. I saw in an earlier post that the settings for the Ultrabay GPU should be Base Clock: -100Mhz Memory Clock: -300Mhz and Voltage Offset: -112.5Mhz. The problem I'm having is that on the Voltage Offset I can only go -50Mhz. Nvidia Inspector won't let me go any lower than that. However, on the primary GPU it will let me go that low. So it seems the default setting for the two GPU's is different. I have attached a screenshot of the default settings on the Ultrabay GPU in Inspector.

Thank you very much! I was with BIOS v3.08 on my Lenovo y510p. First I downgraded the version to 3.05 and then I just fillowed the steps. Everything seems to be fine with my new WLAN Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 card.

How do you download the attached files? I cannot download them

Can someone help me? I'm actually stuck at the part where you have to boot the modded 3.05 bios from the USB, right after the step where you needed to downgrade to 2.07. 

I've been trying to boot the bios from the USB but the USB doesnt show up in BIOS. Thanks in advance.

 

Edit: I'm on Windows 10 if that helps. . .

Everytime I try to make a backup using the bat file for 3.05, the window pops up, Disappears and no file is made. It makes a error file when I dont do it as admin, but when I do it as admin nothing shows up.

 

There was an earlier post addressing this. He said to make a folder in your C drive named "fptw64".

Next, you open a command prompt in administrator mode and type: cd\fptw64

Then, type: backup

After doing all of those, you can find the "bios" file in the fptw64 folder!

Tried running the 3.05 update but I keep getting an error "BIOS version compare error" running windows 10 on a y410p. Can anyone direct me to the reason and fix please?

 

reboot into your bios settings, and make sure the "bios flashback" setting is enabled.

you probably have bios version 3.08 or something like i did and have to revert to the older 3.05, which requires you to have the "bios flashback" setting enabled

maybe i know what the problem is. do you have your Bios set to Legacy Support or UEFI only? some devices might not show up in the boot menu when it's set to UEFI only
maybe try setting it to "legacy support" and the setting beneath it that pops up to "UEFI first" you can then open the Boot Menu (f11 or f12 during startup) and then you should be able to see the USB drive.
i'm not sure if this tool requires legacy mode because i have to wait a week to get permission to download files, but it may help.

Sadly, I've tried that. I'm not sure whether it's a problem with SanDisk USB's so I'll get to testing other USB's soon.

Hey, since you're having trouble downloading the files, I found a link that might help you with that :D

Also, please update me if you're able to make the mod work. Thanks!

Hey everyone, this is really cool, but I have a quick question

Will all the steps be the same if I am running windows 10?

Thinking about doing the wireless card swap. 

Unforunately not. . . at least in my case. I'm stuck at the step when it says to boot the USB because it doesnt show up in the boot menu. I think it's related to my Y510P running Windows 10, but I'm not entirely sure because no one replied to my post yet ;(
