Never thought i could answer to this question in a forum different than the Y700 thread in your blog.... I just found the tool in a russian forum i just registered. It was in a SLIC toolpack for Lenovo Ideapad 300. However, there is no usage info. You got a pm. EDIT: ...or not...don't have 5 posts... Here is the link : https upload.ee/files/6644539/Lenovo_Ideapad_300.7z. html Also, i was trying to send you a message @ Geektech blog, through "Contact" but after pressing "Send" the process stuck forever. Cheers, felix
I managed to get a copy of lvar but unfortunately the variables it can change are limited to the following list where xx =.

Does anyone have a link for the lvar64 tool? Will it work for a lenovo ideapad y910-17isk? I got my laptop back from warranty, they forgot to update the Product Name and MTM and now the keyboard backlight won't work. There is no official repair center in my city, so if I want it fixed I'd have to send my laptop over again... :/

Dear all please help me with some info, when i use LVAR i get an error : SMI interface not ready.. How can this be fixed? Thanks in advance
I managed to get the picture of this issue and now I am stuck in another point. Since the BIOS is Phoenix, I can't seem to find the editor needed. Any ideas?
Thanks guys, I read the thread and reset my laptop product name back to normal. Thanks for this favor... You guys are God...
