Dear all, I just recovered a laptop, the Ideapad 700-15ISK but I have the wrong Product Name and also the MDM, Lenovo SN and UUID are wrong or missing. Now, i have all the data on the backside of the laptop but I can't find the way to complete or edit them. I have tried WinMBD64 as seen on an older topic since i understand it has a Phoenix Bios but I get a kind error Function call failed when get buffer size Buffer size out of range Windwos MBD V0.05_WMI Oct 24 2013 Any help would be much apreciated.
You could try to use the flash tool that comes in the BIOS update to update the system information though I'm not sure it will work: Manufacturer: Code: Winflash64.exe /patch /dms "LENOVO" /nodelay /exit Model: Code: Winflash64.exe /patch /dvs "Lenovo ideapad 700-15ISK" /nodelay /exit MTM: Code: Winflash64.exe /patch /dps "80RU" /nodelay /exit SN: Code: Winflash64.exe /patch /dss "R9XXXXXXR9YYYYYYYYYYY" /nodelay /exit Lenovo SN: Code: Winflash64.exe /patch /dsm "R9XXXXXX" /nodelay /exit UUID: Code: Winflash64.exe /patch /dus "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" /nodelay /exit
Dear quid, than you for the information. I will give it a try tho is my understanding at this time that this type of bios does not allow access to it for updating but gets updated only from UEFI as a package that requires a reboot to acces the update, etc. Will give it a try and provide feedback LE: Phoenix Winflash UEFI or Non-Uefi doesn't see my bios in order to backup it, which is kinda strange at least so looks like only some kind of tool booted in UEFI can do the trick i think or a modified BIOS CAB/BIN Best Regards
Dear Quid, seems we got a little closer, the commands seem to work with one error tho: BCP DMI run time update service failed = 0x8000045C. So, what's next So we have: Winflash64.exe /patch /dms "LENOVO" /nodelay /exit Phoenix SCT Flash for Windows V2.35.0.0 SecureFlash BIOS detected. Initialize Flash module. Read current BIOS Begin Flashing...... ----++++++------+++++++ etc. Image flashing done. Flashing finished. WARNING: BCP DMI run time update service failed =0x8000045C BIOS is updated successfully. And nothing is changed
Anyone? After doing some investigations it looks like my GTX950M throws the Error 43 because of the incorrectly flashed BIOS by the other owner in the past. Given that I don;t have a SPI programmer or any hardware, can I somehow refresh/overwrite the BIOS image (.CAB) and try to give a fresh start to the BIOS? Regards
