Recently, I have my Thinkpad x230 tablet repaired and replaced the motherboard. However, the system cannot update since missing serial number. Additionally, without serial number, I cannot claim warranty from Lenovo. I have spent unbelievable amount of time trying to figure out how to correct this. I found that using Lenovo's Hardware Maintenance Diskette helps to reprogram the EEPROM. From other site, I was able to download the lattest version: 1.86.

However, I cannot unlock write protected EEPROM. It keeps saying that the EEPROM is locked and I need to reboot and press ESC when Thinkpad Logo appears on screen. I tried but cannot unlock the write protection. If I press ESC during Thinkpad Logo appears, the system boots into Diagnostic Splash Screen instead of unlocking the EEPROM. I am just wondering how can I unlock write protection for EEPROM? I am using USB Thumb drive instead of Floppy Disk but I can get into the Lenovo's Hardware Maintenance Diskette interface with USB thumb drive.

  • For IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad laptop enthusiasts. Went to download drivers (download.lenovo.com/eol) and noticed the normally unreleased tool, that most people using it end up being forced to pirate, in the table. 1.89 is the previous HMD (Hardware Maintenance Diskette) version.
  • Feb 25, 2017  Replaced system board, HMD on CD, but the MB serial number? SL300/SL400/SL500, L400-L420 and L500-L520 series specific matters only. You need the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette to do this. This floppy disk is only available to certified Lenovo service centers. Or those who know how to use Google.

I hope that it works on USB drive. Thank you so much. removed Sincerely, victor S.F.

I can only help you with eeprom progamming in the standard way, all you need is W24RF08 eeprom writer ($30). The S/N, Machinetype, checksums etc we will do it for free. W24RF08 is available here: Victor Voinea ALLservice HQ, Romania.

Do I need to send my machine to anywhere?

(I am sorry for the question. I am just new to this forum). I think my problem now is how to unlock the write protected for EEPROM so that HMD can modify S/N for the machine. (By the way, EEPROM, can it be written multiple times?) victor S.F. Boss Joined: 07 Mar 2004 Posts: 2459 Location: Staff Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2014 9:05 pm Post subject: A replacement FRU unit.

No need to send anything, just build the interface and follow the tutorial in this section and read the 8 leg eeprom. As soon as you have the bin file, let me see it.
