![]() ![]() I've researched for multiple days without any resolution and I've tried comparing the BIOS settings/version information of the repaired machine with my other problematic ones, but the only visible difference (Aside from the BIOS version, but I've tried updating/downgrading to no avail) is that "Windows Boot Manager" is listed in the Boot menu on the repaired machine.Īny ideas or input would be of use and is greatly appreciated. I've tried any and all BIOS settings that may have any relation to this. On the repair sheet they sent back with the machine, the only listing is "Motherboard - Configuration Error" which means they didn't install any hardware and that the problem that's preventing the EEPROM from being written to is software sided. The key(?): I've only encountered this problem on one previous X131e, which I chose to send to the repair depot in Memphis, TN. I'm using the same HMD 1.83 that I've used for 20+ other X131e's of the same specifications and same motherboard FRU #. Simple enough except that for whatever reason, the replacement motherboards they sent me won't remove write protection from the EEPROM. ![]() The problem: I have four X131e ThinkPads that all have/need new system boards, which of course means updating the MTM/Serial# after the installation. With that being said, you would think that Lenovo themselves would be able to help out, but no. ![]() Hello, first off, I'm a Lenovo Authorized Service Technician. ![]()
