Hey guys,

I’ve got three ThinkPads: one L13 and two T480s. I already have a programmer and managed to read the BIOS dumps—they seem good to go.

I’m looking to get them unlocked. Any thoughts on that? And how quickly can you get back to me?

Hello MorningJoe,

T480/s service is 30 Euro and L13 is 55 Euro.
L13 models 20R3, 20R4 can be done remotely otherwise the motherboard or all units must be shipped in...not sure what you have there...

Go here https://www.allservice.ro/shopall/product-category/services/lenovo/

Scroll down just a bit to see group C for T480 and group D that includes L13.

Cheers

It’s 20R4, so I reckon it's okay. Gonna try this. I'll do the payment right away.

Or should I contact you first and send you the BIOS bins?

I would suggest ordering first so we can put in in the queue.
We process all orders FIFO and we are pretty busy today.

BIOS dumps - do multiple read outs and compare them so you make sure they are correct and we won't have to repair the BIOS and waste unnecessary time.

Let's talk via email.

Yeah, about that. I think I might have messed up one of the T480s after using some pirated stuff from a website.
I didn’t know you were the author. So, I might need your magic to fix it.

Sent an email a minute ago and waiting for your response. Thank you, Victor

For the record, Victor was kind enough to repair the SN block in the T480 that was having problems. Apparently, it was caused by the improper pirated thing I used without knowing the consequences.

Don't use pirated shit, folks.
