Hi,

I have a P1 with the BIOS supervisor password enabled. I somehow managed to mess up the BIOS and need your expertise on the matter. Is it okay if I contact you by email? What do I need to buy from you? I already have an SPI programmer, which is how I ended up screwing up the BIOS.

Very Happy

Hi there,

That depends on how much damage you did. If you used a pirated ALLservice DXE or BIOS from some random person on a forum, we won’t be able to assist you.

Otherwise, yes, feel free to contact us via email.

I was tempted, but after reading all the horror stories, I decided against it. So no, it's not that. I just couldn’t read the BIOS properly.

I'll get in touch.

Don't get tempted, it will brick the laptop, that DXE these s-bags pirated was meant for a much older Thinkpad.
Even if in some cases we can recover the TP (sometimes TPM chip that has the private key gets perm locked and need to be replaced) we we decided to not do it anymore...
