    Serg008,

    I'd like to know if there is any difference between this method "SLP Marker File" and "Bios Mod SLIC" or is the same?

    Because I know there is the Windows Loader and the Bios Mod.

    Thanks ;)

    In the first case, Slic is added by the utilities from the manufacturer (without of bios modification), in the second - is carried out a BIOS modification.

    Strange...
    Flash your backup-ed bios and check Nb behaviour
    Rename your backup (LENOVO-GSET16WW(1.01).rom) to "BACK_WL.ROM", copy it to your DOS bootable USB Stick (replace WL modified bios), boot to DOS and run flash.bat

    1. Issue with boot disapeared. Now with modified bios it works fine. I guess its related to bluetooth option which I had turned on previously with unsupported wifi card. Now I have turned it off and it boots fine.
    2. Suspend also looks fine.
    3. Linux was still showing worng size with backedup BIOS. I think it needs to be reported to Lenovo)

    Thanks.

    By the way, do you know how to enable Bluetooth now? Im using atheros AR5B22

    Hello Serg008,

    can you read out the Supervisor Passwort on a Lenovo W520?
    Can the Supervisor Passwort deleted from BIOS (with Flash)?
