I found Lenovo Maintenance Diskette v2.02 MD_2.02.zip in VLab(Russian repair forum).
But I can't download.
I don't know fake or true.

Mostly all of these Russian forums are pay sites. They want their users to pay for downloads... vlab is no exception. Could be legit but i won't trust it to be honest.

I don't recommend supporting them by giving them money. Knowledge should be free to access and charging money for some companies intellectual property is a fraud. Plus these tools are intended for service people who work for the company and aren't public. Thats why it is so hard to get them.

I'll look around if I find something and let you know...

Note: VLab doesn't charge except for schematics. Just upload 5 bios dumps or something else of interest in the appropriate sub-forum and you can download whatever you want besides the schematics.

Did you ever figure this out?
I tried both tools on my T14s and I get same error *EEPROM Overflow
Any solution? Also what about clearing a preset OA3.cfg how can I clear it.

Re: Need ThinkPad Config Information Update v1.02 or Lenovo Maintenance Utility V2.02

I fixed the issue for the *EEPROM Overflow and not being able to write C0.



To set the Serial Number, Model on my Lenovo T14s:

I Used "ThinkPad Config Information Update Utility v1.11" attached

-Extract and run "usbfmtpw.exe" this will format your USB and copy the files over.
(check that the files copied after format. if not manually copy them to the root of the usb).
-Insert to laptop and boot to USB FDD it is EFI not Legacy (USB you just created).
-Now go 1, then use 2 to read current keys. record any keys shown, take a photo of them they will be erased if there not already.
-Now go back to main menu and choose initialize EEPROM, this clears all keys plus UUID and now the overflow error wont happen.
-Now go 1, then use 1 again to add new info, enter C0 then Enter.
-Now enter serial and model in long form will start with 1S so (1STTTTMMMMCCSSSSSSS)
-Enter and Key is stored.
-If you like can add more or go back and use option 3 for a few more config details. (I set my brand name there)
-Once all info is set go to assign UUID, and say Yes.
(once you generate the UUID you cannot edit the serials unless you initialize and do them all over again.
-Reboot and check bios screen your info should be there no more beeps on boot.


Product ID: TTTT-MMMMCC
Serial#: SS-SSSSS

TTTT = Machine Type
MMMM = Model Type
CC = Country Code
SSSSSSS = Serial Number

I had same issue, from main menu I think it' option 3, set product name.
Name should be “Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2” or “ThinkPad T14s Gen 2”.
The tool I think automatically adds the first “thinkpad” part when entering the name of you let it.
