I have a Lenovo y480 brand new with bios version 38 InsydeH2O 2.08 and it doesn't support raid but the exact same model packaged with an mSATA does. It's simply a different bios. I'm looking for a copy of the backed up rom file from a model that came with the mSATA. It can be a y480 or a y580 as long as it was ordered with an mSATA. It should be version 36 or possibly 40 (unconfirmed). Anyone have a way to help? Also, I've included a copy of my BIOS in case anyone wants to attempt to mod.
35 views and no one has any suggestions? Maybe an idea of some other forums I should try? Seems I should easily find someone with either the y580 or the "better" y480 that isn't scared to read their BIOS with Universal BIOS Backup.

it's not a matter of being scared. the universal bios backup dumps are different between users of the same model laptop.
also, the y580 and y480 have different hardware, so the 2 bioses are not compatible.
Hello !
I need the original stock Bios for Y580 in Version 8.0
But i cant find it on Lenovos Site or at other pages without any kind of mods.
Can Someone provide me this Bios ? (At lenovos website i just can find 5dcn40ww)
I flashed a wrong one, laptop was broken. I send it to an electronic guy (bios-chip24.com) wich replaced my Bios Chips
and flashed them new. But its not the same Bios/EC Version and now i cant even select the bootoptions without
freezing the bios.
(I think thats the reason: wrong Bios/EC Version - what do you think ?)
Now i got:
Bios Version: 5DCN90WW(v8.01)
EC Version: 5DEC89WW (v8.00)
That means i need
5DCN90WW (Bios+EC)
or
5DEC89WW (Bios+EC)
Please help me, i need to sell this laptop to pay my taxes
