[Request] Lenovo G500s Bios Unlock

[dickoak]

Hello, I'd really like to unlock some feature on my Lenovo, maybe run it only on the nvidia gpu instead of the whole optimus intel/nvidia thing maybe.
Here is my current BIOS that I extracted with Universal BIOS Backup toolkit.

Thanks in advance. If everything works I'll try to scrape some funds on paypal to give some back

Donate to me for my work and time . . . look into my Signature

You can use the Sleep Bug too . . .

Unpack the Bios Mod and copy the "modified" folder into C: HD root place !
Then open Command Promt with Admin Rights (CLI window C:\), put your laptop
into Sleep Mode (just close the Lid) and then Wacke-Up It (reopen the Lid),
after this execute these comands from CLI window :

cd \

cd modified

fptw -f bios.bin -bios

(or fptw64 for Windows x64)

Thanks this  is working perfectly or so it seems at the moment, was able to disable the C states
Are you sure I can't change the default graphics controller from SG (switchable graphics) without bricking?

A lot of times only Bricked !
But to try is like a Russian Roulette

Ok, well I won't try then I don't really want to have to buy a new laptop when I just upgraded this one's RAM, HDD and SSD

Thanks again, I sent a little bit of money your way, it's not much but I can't afford more at the moment

Please note that even if you brick this laptop you would not have to take it to the service or buy a new one!
Could get USB SPI flasher + SOIC-8 test clip from China for about $20 in total (more or less, it depends on products features)
Such tools are really helpful for BIOS experimentations: they can read a backup from SOIC-8 BIOS chip that is on laptop's motherboard,
as well as flash new BIOS images directly into this chip - all that without needing to desolder a BIOS chip - thanks to a SOIC-8 test clip

This seems really cool and interesting, is there a website where I can learn more about all of this? I would definitely ponder buying one of those
