SMR.39 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hi guys ,past 3 months i have been trying to fix my lenovo y 400 . It first had a ssd problem after 10 months from date of purchase . i sent it back to USA under warranty . I had talked to them on phone and they said they have changed mother board , SSD , reimaging etc . I got it back from US this march and right from that day there were graphic card issues it started from "display driver not responding".I did everything to fix it downgraded to win 7 - did not work UEFI/legacyre-installed drivers a zillion timesinstalled various linux OS distros - did not work - Legacylater I was convinced that there is some issue with graphic card or problem with power management So only thing left is to unlock the BIOS current BIOS Version/Date LENOVO 6BCN43WW(V2.03), 23/04/2013is it alright if I flash it using windows 8 / or should I be on 8.1 (couldn't update blank screen up on boot)I will go through SVL7's thread on how to unlock y400 bios hoping it would fix this .If its unsuccessful then is it possible to make it work by purchasing lenovo removable graphics card GN36 and run it under SLI?? because motherboard replacement is costly and I may need to send it back to USA since this model is not supported in my country :/Please let me know if there is something i did not try ? best,shashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
