    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    M920q do not support original biosmod because of biosguard. I am not sure but there is a coreboot bios for M920q that should work on your case. You may need to compile it on your own

    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    Bad words in front. If you are using an i5 in your original M910z only for Win 11 installation, just go for the software method to install it. It is not worth to install the mod bios. Also, I had installed Win 11 in my Lenovo laptop with a Gen 6 i5 CPU and can install successfully without any...

    for UUID and SN, there is a tool to write it back. See #130 and need some google translate. Or may also help on the be the PCI-E problem. You may need to download the pack from the page. I don't have that account also.

    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    When it works, caps lock on keyboard should work. I am not sure if you are using M700 or M700 tiny. In M700 tiny case, not all the display port working after using the mod bios. Be sure that you have read #127 and follow the rules.

    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    I don't know if how many of you still keep this board. It seems we are going to have coreboot for M700 and M900 in near future. Coreboot is an open source project that to replace close source vendor BIOS. From my understanding the vendor BIOS are unsafe. Please help contribute on whatever...

    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    If your CH341A is black and gold color, you probably need the mod. The voltage provide to the BIOS chip is 3.3V which is correct, but all the data lines will be 5V and you may need the hardware fix. Or disconnect the programmer from USB just after the flash to avoid killing the chip. I see from...

    You need to dump and mod separately. The UUID and MAC and windows keys are stored in the bios dump Good to know you made your own bios.

    A123: For M910 and M710, it is not required to swap the BIOS region. That is just for M700/M900. So you can just dump the ROM and use coffeetime directly.

    Metal tape is just for EC of the mainboard. Do nothing on the CPU.

    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    As I remember, I just do the 'T' shape mode and join 2 pins only and it will work on lenovo boards. I see from the pic. Did you cut the tape directly on the CPU? Better do it on a glass or metal

    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    1. no clue 2. CH341a + SOP8 clip 3. The pins are too small that easy to fail. Better use aluminum foil and tape with a sharper cutter 4. TPD doesn't mean power draw. You may have a look on my experience in #127. As the price of M920 drop a lot, you may consider buying a M920 or even Intel Gen...

    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    If we unlocked the hidden menu, we know that EC will take over thermal management when CPU is over 72 degree. You may try the "Active Trip Point" Setting. I can feel the fan speed change in my setup (M710q+8500T) I tried disable S6 rendering mode. Package draw 5W more power in idle. In my...

    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    I owned a gen6 M700 tiny, a gen7 M710q and a gen8 M920q. From my experience. I would suggest to get a M910q / M710q for this mod. If you are reading this thread and did not own one yet, I will suggest M710q. The reasons are follows: 1. M700 /M900 tiny biosmod requires swaping the BIOS region...

    Lenovo M700/M900 BIOS mod to Coffee Lake CPUs

    I have a M700 tiny with 8100T works well. I do not have the issue you mentioned. Did you mod your bios with a M710q BIOS region? Did you use coffeetime to add microcode and mod the VBios? If you still can't made it, please google translate the post in #130 and that may helps
