    Hi, Serg008, thanks for the instant reply!

    After running setup.bat I get message from program ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility: "BIOS Image file is same as BIOS ROM. An update is not necessary at this time", apparently due to the same BIOS version numbers - 1.23.
    What advise, how in this case to update the BIOS?

    Thanks!

    Serg008, if I roll back to the previous version of BIOS, then everything should work out, but I do not have the previous version of BIOS.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Serg008!

    Everything is fine - the modification was successfully done - SLIC 2.1 is written to the BIOS, but I did not use the bat-files in my work, I updated it via WinPhlash64.exe with the input of the direct path to the image $01CE000.FL1.

    It remains for me only to check the activation after installation, but I think that Win7 is activated without problems.

    Once again, thank you very much!

    Hi I’d love a way to change serial number for the bios for my Lenovo Legion Y520, is this possible?

    Hi. I would like to request a BIOS mod:

    Manufacturer : Lenovo
    Model : ThinkPad T450s
    Bios version: 1.35
    BIOS Type: Phoenix

    I would like to know if I have to deal with 5 beep problem of TPM after flashing or how to have a working TPM and no bugs at all.
