Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd gen missing bios chip
I don't know the history of this. I bought it from someone as parts. His story was that it just quit one day and it put it away in the closet and now he is selling (I guess I paid too much.)
Pushing the power button would light up and backlight on the touchbar (I don't remember now if the lcd backlight comes on)
LMQ-1 12298-2
CPU is i7-4600U
I pull out the board and notice there is no bios chip! Schematic has two bios chips 8mb and 4mb.
How do I figure out which one?... -
Re: HP Pavilion x2 10-n140nw - eMMC write protection problem
Run lsblk to get the device name
Assuming /dev/mmcblk0 then
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 count=1
This will wipe the whole partition table.Leave a comment:
