    black screen, works with hdmi,",
    Yoga 7 14IAL7 , latest bios update , laptop was working fine all of a sudden the screen went black and shuts down while in use , then i started powering it on but nothing,there is keyboard backlight, fun spins , everything works except for the black screen, i connected to external tv using hdmi , and there was no display only black ,but after force shutting it down and starting it again with the hdmi plugged , i will see a display. I don't see the lenovo logo flash screen with both the built-in screen nor on hdmi(external screen), i will start getting display on the hdmi when the windows starts booting , and surprisingly the touch works like i can see the touch in on the tv while still in hdmi , i tried resting the bios , nothing worked, i installed the bios again while using the tv with hdmi, and the weirdest part is that when i enter in to the bios , it launch but i cant move the curser (mouse) nor does the keyboard, its just stuck in the homepage of the bios ,cap lock light frozen.which means i can't change anything in it, also pressing f12 and i see the boot order but also frozen.idk whats wrong with it please give me any advice
    <p>when i say black screen i mean totally black no display no backlit,</p>
    <p>i already tried resetting the bios off course i tried novo button thingy nothing , i even disconnected the batter both the main and the cmos battery, but still nothing, and things i noticed is that when i use the hdmi i can't see the bios boot

    It is dead (again, maybe?) Could someone upload the X200 modded to archive.org?

    Hi everyone, I hope I'm in the right place!?
    and sorry for my english!

    I have ThinkPad P1 Gen3/X1 Extreme Gen3
    I still have 2 months of On-Site Warranty!

    initially our IT department
    he had set a Supervisor password that blocked only part of the BIOS settings.
    Supervisor password = PeP11
    it always worked

    After a recommended update, (he thinks gone bad at this point)
    Performed via Soft Lenovo Vantage
    ("BIOS Update (Utility & Bootable CD) for Windows 11, 10 (64-bit),
    Linux - ThinkPad P1 Gen 3 (Type 20TH, 20TJ), X1 Extreme Gen 3"

    "Firmware for Windows 11 (64-bit), 10 (64-bit) - ThinkPad USB-C Dock Gen 2")

    I find myself
    "Error 0199: System Security - Security password retry count exceeded"
    "Press F1 to enter Setup."
    Supervisor password = PeP11
    it is no longer accepted and also blocks the Machine entirely
    example
    F12 boot menu
    any operation postpones
    "Error 0199: System Security - Security password retry count exceeded"
    "Press F1 to enter Setup."

    Opened a ticket in LENOVO assistance
    but they say it's a software problem and not a hardware one
    and they cannot intervene!!
    incredible !!!!

    I just don't know how!
    if there is a way to overcome this obstacle?
    Or how to possibly repair it under warranty since it's still there!
    Any suggestion is welcome!

    HI
    Thank you

    If you care about preserving the knowledge, then it would be great if you share the details.
