No problem. Beggers can't be choosers. :)

Check the first post of this thread.
I've added patches for the following ThinkPads:

- X301
- SL300
- SL400
- SL400c
- SL500
- SL500c

Dear Mr. Middleton,

I have one further question: Is tehere any possibility to activate/edit "secret" or more functions in x200 BIOS?
As I can see there's an undervolting lock in the BIOS preventing all software to go below 0,9 Volts.

Keep up the great work!

As far as I know BIOS can't lock CPU undervolting. Bottom voltage limit depends on CPU model. Some CPUs allow to set very low voltages (~ 0,7 V) but there are CPUs which block setting voltages below ~ 0,9 V limit.

Your CTRL/FN swap works perfectly on my SL410. Unfortunately I am having issues with my laptop powering off and reporting 'critical' battery randomly.

It looks like Lenovo has addressed these issues in the latest BIOS updates (which obviously will not install).


[EDIT]: It says update failed but the newer bios no longer shows up. I assume the main BIOS updated but the controller failed. As long as the system no longer randomly shuts down/sleeps I am happy. :D


Would you mind updating the swap for the latest update? Lenovo Support & downloads - BIOS update utility - ThinkPad L410, L510, SL410, SL510

Do you accept donations for your work?

I've updated BIOS for ThinkPad L410, L510, SL410, SL510.
And as for donations: Unfortunately paypal doesn't allow to receive money in my country (only sending is allowed). All other payment systems are not so convinient for the people in foreign countries.

Middleton,
Thanks so much for the BIOS patch for the SL400. It seems that a new BIOS version 1.28 was released on June 3rd. Would you be able to update the patch to reflect the change? Thanks again. You are amazing!
