The procedure is somewhat simple (and risky as well), you turn the laptop on, and just before hitting F1 to enter the bios, you shortcircuit the SCL (or SDA, I can't remember) to a ground point. You can find most of them at this addressīut I couldn't find the t430s there, it turns out though that the eeprom was hiding just under the keyboard, under one of those plastic tapes that was covering it. If you check this video it explains the procedure:Īpparently it is the same for different thinkpad models, the trick is just to find the eeprom that stores the bios password.

When reinstalling Windows, try the Lenovo disc images, as longer battery times have been reported, probably due to custom drivers. A can of compressed air may be useful too, and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds are good for cleaning, but not on the screen.
The only tools you need for servicing a ThinkPad are a set of small screwdrivers and a nylon spudger (for taking the screen and keyboard bezels off), and possibly a pair of tweezers. Corporate bulk purchasers don't usually go for it. Not only will it have better brightness, colour, contrast and viewing angles - you will most probably more than make up the investment when selling it. When buying a new ThinkPad, consider taking the IPS screen option if possible, as it doesn't cost much. When buying a used ThinkPad, remember to check that the BIOS is not locked with a supervisor's password and that Computrace is not enabled and activated.
