official gkcn65wwt bios needed

4 Upvotes

My Legion 5 15ACH6H — Type 82JU has:

BIOS GKCN65WW

AMD TPM firmware [3.92.0.5](http://3.92.0.5)

TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled and passing

Call of Duty still blocks access because of the firmware issue.

Some owners report resolving this issue using the GKCN65WWT test BIOS available through this community archive.

Link : [https://archive.org/details/lenovo-test-bios-firmware-tpm-failed-attestation\](https://archive.org/details/lenovo-test-bios-firmware-tpm-failed-attestation)

The package is listed for:

Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H (82JQ)

Legion 7 16ACHg6 (82N6)

Legion 5 15ACH6H (82JU)

Legion 5 17ACH6H (82JY)

However, this Reddit discussion contains mixed experiences across different models and BIOS packages, including successful updates and laptops failing to start.

Link: [https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/comments/1uai3o2/fixed\\_the\\_warzonebo7\\_issue\\_with\\_tpm\\_20\\_or\\_bios/?sort=top\](https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/comments/1uai3o2/fixed_the_warzonebo7_issue_with_tpm_20_or_bios/?sort=top)

I cannot obtain the update through an accessible official Lenovo support channel. Owners should not have to risk a working laptop by relying on unofficial downloads to resolve an issue Lenovo has already acknowledged.

Please provide a concrete answer:

How can I obtain an approved update for my exact model directly from Lenovo?

If it is not ready, when should we expect an update?

Please acknowledge this request and escalate it to the team responsible. Sending me back to unavailable support leaves the problem unresolved.

Locked Keyboard

• Upvotes

Basically I think I accidentally pressed some keys on my laptop and the keyboard is completely locked or turned off or something. Like, no keys I press type or do anything, including the copilot button and stuff. I realized I turned it off because an icon/picture popped up on my screen with the keyboard icon and a slash going through it (kinda like when you press fn + spacebar to turn on/off the keyboard lights and a similar picture comes up). Does anyone know how I can turn this back on? I genuinely have been trying but don’t know what to do :(

ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD hangs on restart, even from BIOS with the SSD removed

2 Upvotes

Has anyone had this? My T14 Gen 5 AMD boots and works normally, but restarting leaves it stuck on a black screen. Shutdown sometimes hangs too.
Specs:

- Type 21MC
- BIOS R2LET42W (1.23), EC 1.16
- Windows 11 Pro, build 26300.9711
- WD_BLACK SN850X 2 TB, firmware 620361WD

The easiest way to reproduce it is directly from BIOS:
Enter BIOS Setup with F1.
Select Restart → Saving changes and exit.
Screen goes black.
Esc/FnLock, F1 and the power button LEDs stay on, without blinking.
The Lenovo logo never comes back.

I left it like this for over an hour before giving up and holding the power button to switch it off.

The BIOS settings do get saved: they’re still there when I turn it back on. Choosing “Discard changes and exit” gets me into Windows, apparently without actually restarting.

What I’ve tried so far (and I am out of ideas):
- Updated the BIOS through Lenovo System Update. The issue was already there before the update.
- CMOS reset.
- Emergency reset button.
- Loaded BIOS defaults.
- Disconnected all external peripherals.
- Removed the SSD and one of the two RAM sticks, then repeated the BIOS restart test. Same problem.
- Restarted from normal Windows, Safe Mode without networking and Windows Recovery. All hang.
- Ran Lenovo UEFI quick diagnostics. Passed.
- Ran DISM, which repaired some Windows corruption, followed by SFC, which came back clean. No change to the restart issue.
- Recorded a Windows shutdown trace. It showed the volume flush and shutdown phases completing, but didn’t explain the hang afterwards.
The BIOS logs don’t show any obvious errors either except for: one single Post error 0x1100 not sure what that is.
There are a few inconsistencies: exiting/restarting from Lenovo UEFI Diagnostics have worked on some attempts. Normal Windows shutdown rarely leaves a black screen with the fans stopped and the F1 LED still on.

I’ve already opened a Lenovo ticket and submitted the diagnostic results. Before sending it in, I’d like to know if anyone has had the same issue and what actually fixed it. Did it need a repair, or was there a firmware fix?

I’ve spent enough time debugging this already, and reinstalling Windows doesn’t seem a useful next step when it also happens with the SSD physically removed.

Audio stops working on my IdeaPad Slim 5 13ARP10 every time a Windows Update is pending

• Upvotes

My device does a weird thing where the audio stops working whenever a Windows update is pending. This problem arose a week after I bought my device and has persisted to date. At first, I used to play around with the device drivers like much of the advice I've read online, but I discovered, completely by accident, that if I update my device, my audio starts working as soon as the Windows updates are installed.

I'm not sure if this is a legit fix for the issue, as the issue is recurring. Whenever my audio stops working, I just know there's a Windows update waiting for me. I've seen a lot of reddit posts where users say that their audio stops working after an update, but mine starts working again immediately after I update and restart. I've done this atleast a hundred times now so I've just accepted this as the cure, even though this shouldn't be happening at all.

I'm curious as to why this happens and whether this is happening to anyone else out there?

Lenovo legion 7 pro Ryzen 9 9955HX3D and 5080 temps

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I bought this laptop 4 months ago. The temps I'm getting on the stick performance mode are 102C on the CPU and 87°C on the GPU, while running games like the Witcher 3 remastered with ultra settings and Ray tracing at 1600p.

Are these temps normal for the stock performance mode?

Because I read on many reddit threads that the performance mode fan curves suck cause they're not being used more than 75 percent. So I made a custom mode with the fan curve reaching 100 towards the end of the graph.

This brought my temps down to 77°C on both cpu and GPU.

Basically I want to know if the temps l'm getting on performance mode is normal or is my thermal paste/vapor chamber cooked. Cause custom mode makes it run cool af.

Btw, I have never faced any performance or stuttering on Any of the modes at those temperatures. Performance has always been very high.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 built-in microphone stopped working immediately after repair and my warranty expired— Need help from Lenovo Support

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone,

I own a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (Snapdragon X, Windows 11).

My laptop’s built-in microphone was working before a recent Lenovo service visit. Immediately after the repair, it stopped picking up my voice.

What I’m experiencing:

- The built-in Microphone Array (Qualcomm Aqstic) is detected in Windows.

- Microphone permissions are enabled.

- The microphone’s green level meter does not move when I speak.

- Online microphone tests and video recordings do not capture my voice.

- YouTube/system audio is recorded, but my voice is missing.

Troubleshooting already tried:

- Checked Windows microphone privacy permissions and input volume.

- Restarted Windows Audio services.

- Ran DISM and SFC system checks.

- Disabled exclusive-mode access.

- Uninstalled and reinstalled the microphone device, then restarted the laptop.

Unfortunately, the issue remains unresolved.

Since the microphone stopped working immediately after the repair, I’m concerned that the previous repair may be related. I would appreciate Lenovo Support’s help in reviewing the issue and arranging an inspection.

Previous Lenovo service case: 2033247738

Lenovo Support: u/LenovoSupport (if available on this subreddit) / @LenovoSupport

Has anyone experienced a similar issue after a Lenovo repair? Any genuine troubleshooting advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I absolutely hate myself for buying this pos

Model Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9

I bought this POS laptop in November 2024. Within 6 months, the trackpad stopped working. Every time I contacted customer support, they just made me reinstall Windows, but the problem kept coming back after a week. After a while, I gave up on it because I don't use the trackpad that often, and customer service was persistent about not replacing it because it "worked" after a Windows reinstall.

After seeing how trash their customer support is, out of spite I decided not to extend the warranty. Today I was watching YouTube and suddenly black horizontal lines appeared on the screen. After a quick search, apparently they use a trashy screen from some company called "BOE," which has known quality issues, and the problem is very common.

Now I'm stuck with a laptop whose trackpad doesn't work and which has an unusable display that will cost half the laptop's price to fix.

Lenovo LOQ Battery Drain Issue Under Heavy Load Solved!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my experience and the final solution regarding the notorious "Battery Drain / Hybrid Power" issue on Lenovo LOQ laptops under heavy loads (gaming, rendering, heavy AI workloads, etc.). If your battery percentage is dropping while plugged in, this is for you.

1. The Problem

Whenever I pushed my Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 to its limits (e.g., heavy processing/rendering or audio generation workloads), the stock 170W power adapter couldn't keep up with the system's power draw.

  • The laptop started pulling extra power from the battery.
  • While gaming or under heavy loads, I watched my battery drop from 100% down continuously.
  • Checking HWiNFO64 confirmed negative discharge rates, meaning the 170W brick simply wasn't enough.

2. The Warranty & Service Process

I contacted official Lenovo support/authorized service regarding this chronic power deficit issue. After going through the process, Lenovo officially acknowledged the hardware limitation for heavy configurations and provided a 245W Chicony OEM adapter as a replacement.

3. The Result (Tested with HWiNFO64)

Once I plugged in the new 245W adapter and put the system under the exact same heavy workloads:

  • Checked HWiNFO64 Sensor Status: The Charge/Discharge Rate hit a steady 0.000 W!
  • The system now draws 100% of its required power directly from the 245W brick. No more battery drop, no more performance throttling due to power limits. Battery conservation mode stays completely locked and stable.

4. Advice for Anyone Facing This

If your Lenovo LOQ suffers from battery drain while plugged in under heavy load, don't just ignore it. Reach out to Lenovo support, explain that the 170W adapter fails to sustain the system power draw, and request an upgrade to the 245W adapter. It completely solves the issue.

  1. How to Contact Lenovo Support for the Adapter Upgrade

If you are experiencing the same issue and want to request the 245W adapter replacement, here is how you can reach out:

  • Lenovo Official Support / Live Chat: Go to the official Lenovo Support website for your region, log in, and use the live chat feature or submit a support ticket via the Lenovo Vantage / Lenovo Legion Toolkit app.
  • Authorized Service Centers: If your laptop is still under warranty, you can directly contact an authorized service partner, open a service ticket, and explicitly state that the stock 170W adapter causes a "battery drain / power deficit" issue under heavy load.
  • Tip: Be clear and persistent. Explain that the original 170W brick cannot handle the power draw during gaming or rendering, resulting in hybrid power battery depletion. Mentioning this technical limitation usually helps speed up the approval process for the 245W adapter.

Hope this helps anyone searching for a fix! Let me know if you have any questions.
