That sounds great! I hope Lenovo hasn't somehow blocked this. From what I read the plate of gen 3 and gen 4 is exactly the same but different bios. I have gen 3 updated to latest bios
Lenovo wouldn't be interested in mentioning that gen 13 and 14 works on their gen 3 M90Q, since they have a specific generation for that (with the same board apparently)
I would like to upgrade from the 12500 to the 13500/14500, since I have two available and it's a big jump.
If there's something blocked in the bios so it doesn't work or the microcode isn't updated, I don't know if there's a way to update it.
I just installed 13500 on the m90q gen 3 but it turns off after two seconds of starting
i guess Intel ME don't like it.
a chance is a cross flash of gen 4 BIOS ( need SPI prgrammer and experience on this )
Oh that doesn't sound good. Is there nothing that can be done easily? Right now I can't do clear cmos either since it turns off after a few seconds (just when the processor fan tries to move, it turns off) I have a 14500 too that I could try, but I will have the same result...
no. lenovo provides no BIOS bin file.
Intel ME binary update doesn't help because the issue is in the config data part. of ME.
you can't even take a dump from gen 4 and flash to gen 3 because the ME is initialized to the chipset serial(Q-PCH security)
it is still possible. done before on some older lenovo ( 8/9th gen BIOS on 6/7th gen boards )
It's normal so what happens? I don't even get to the bios? I press the button, it turns on; and after 10 seconds it turns off just when the fan starts to move
It is possible, as you say, to get it to work; but for this you have to program a bios and I don't have the knowledge, also desoldering chip to /write with spi?
Understood. I see you know what you are talking about, if the process can help me, I can try to do
Thank you very much for your help and time. Then I will have to forget about this option, go back to 12500 and settle, a shame. I don't understand why the bios includes microcode 13500 then
it is a MCU package (13th gen microcode in extended header)
maybe it only works this way.
Well; for there is nothing I can do or attempt alone; believe. going back to 12500 again Clearcmos won't do anything right? It won't let me do it because it keeps restarting
