One question: is it possible to mod a BIOS to accept batteries who says "Plugged in but not in charge" ? I have an Acer 5738ZG, i bought a new battery and it says "Plugged in but not in charge".. is there any bios mod to make it working?? I tried all methods on the net
It's first time I heared something like that ! I don't know if there is something to mod about it, i think it's a Battery problem ! I can mod that bios. Regards
Try to find It in this section : 0x22412 Form: Advanced, Form ID: 0x1 0x22418 Subtitle: 0x2241F End 0x22421 Ref: Boot Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x22430 Ref: Peripheral Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x2243F Ref: IDE Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x2244E Ref: Thermal Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x2245D Ref: Video Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x2246C Ref: USB Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x2247B Ref: Chipset Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x2248A Ref: ACPI Table/Features Control, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x22499 Ref: PCI Express Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x224A8 Ref: Extended ICC, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x224B7 Ref: DPTF Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x224C6 Ref: Intel(R) Smart Connect Technology Configuration, Variable: 0xFFFF 0x224D5 End Form Thermal Configuration look here and let me know if It is visible or not as if not I try to Unhide this setting !

Ok but which test You have done ? Recovery Mode or InsydeFlash ? Have You used mine Modded Y580 file ? Let me know regards Recovery Procedure is only from USB Stick Formatted Fat32 without any SO Hireen Win7 Mini is only to use InsydeFlash.exe when Windows don't work !
I think i did something wrong I wanted to reset the settings, so i flashed it again, but now it won't boot .. It's stuck on black screen for 5 second and it shutdown, blackscreen I tried to reflash again, but nothing, the fan spins for hours .. ((( What to do ?
thanks again for ur cooperation 1- i changed the original Y580 Bios file QIWY3027.rom rename to QIWG5.bin and put in fat32 formated usb. battery out cord disconnect. connect usb than fn+b than pluged in cord and press power and released every button mean hard recovory fan sound fast but no luck. 2- with hiren cd mini win7 ... i extract orignal bios file 5dcn40ww.exe with winrar and in the folder rename QIWY3027.rom to QIWG5027.rom and run insydeflash.exe but i could,nt fool them..lol.. i think i have only 2 option 1- if i corrupt my bios completely and brick my laptop than do hard recovery fn+b procedure. brick laptop will not differentiate between previous and new version bios maybe 2- if someone upload bios backup copy(.bin file) of same lenovo y580(with pirated window if he woried about win key) and give it to me and flash in dos. i need to find owners of name lenovo y580. your mode when i was going to flash again it ask not all of the file data will be written on flash because file is longer than flash area to be written, my gut feeling told me not to do and w8. i caring to much because i did one mistake. and now i will be very careful about it.
The last option is to force InsydeFlash modifyng Platform.ini You can use Original Package Bios Y580 from Lenovo so You cannot do mistakes, then modify Platform.ini : Don't check if Bios is for QIWY3 so don't compare with QIWG5 : [Platform_Check] Flag=3 HAVE TO BE 0 !!!!!!!!

It's not possible do anything other as You are using already Recovery Mode ! I think You have modded Bios Significant Settings and have got a Brick ! Let me know what You have modifyied and I can help You, first have to clear CMOS on MoBo, Remove all AC cable, Battery, etc. push Power Button to discharge eventualy Capacitors . . . Then retry Recovery Mode and let me know Regards
