Hello to all! my son during the bios update of my laptop legion y520-15IKBN shutdown the machine and brick it permanently.
I try to flash some bios finded online but pc won't work properly: during boot stuck some minute in black screen and then bootup, windows have a lot of bluescreen and if i try to enter on bios settings, sometime crash
Then i extracted the update from official site and flash it, it seems to work properly but bios won't recognise anymore model/sn, cannot enable secure boot and gpu (nvidia) wont work
it is possible to use bricked dump to add some parameters (like model, sn, secure boot key and others) to blank official update one?
thx in advance

Hi
Need to restore your original bios
Do you have a SPI-programmer?
Check your PM
yes, i need to restore the original bios (wich i have only a bricked image) replyed to your pm Wink
Hi friend, the short way is to get a Firmware Dump from another laptop and then replace your Bios Region, but your model is rare Wink ...

Your Firmware say that your laptop is Lenovo Legion Y520-15IKBM Laptop (Lenovo) - Type 80YY and you wrote IKBN.

System Information
Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
Model LENOVO 80YY
Motherboard LENOVO LNVNB161216
Memory 8.00 GB DDR4 SDRAM 1198MHz
Northbridge Intel Kaby Lake 05
Southbridge Intel HM175 31
BIOS LENOVO 5XCN20WW

Then the solution is get Firmware from original stock one and replace the Bios Region (0x200000-600000)

FD Descriptors Unlocked, Adv and Pwr unhidden :

Alternatively this one :

Stock Bios :

I hope it would work ...
Let me know
Regards

P.S. if Bios Region is broken totally then it needs to replace only your system informations
