Hello, good people. How is your life?
I just joined this forum![Wink]( "Wink")
and I kindly request an unlock for my bios:
1. bios type: Phoenix SecureCore Tiano (screen pictures of it are below)
2. direct link to BIOS (6.6MB .exe): http://download.lenovo.com/UserFiles/Dri...CN18WW.exe
indirect link to BIOS (downloads page): http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research...D=HT073098
3. this bios is on my laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Z575 (aka Z575am) with AMD A6-3400M CPU (aka APU)
more info/pics of this exact laptop:

Note: I lost the passwords(keypass2 db) for those accounts(google and imgur) and thus avoid contacting me there![Wink]( "Wink")
Those pictures are now 2 years old, but here are some pictures from today with the current bios/screenshots:

the bios screens ended up at the end, pls scroll to the bottom...
also here's the cpu-z screens which would show the motherboard chipset (might be useful for more info on the bios, guessing)

(I'm posting all this info because I like details, better to have them than having to ask for them later)
4. Reason for needing the bios unlock: I need to be able to change the memory timings (but also would be glad to have any other hidden tabs, menus and options unlocked too, just for the idea of it), because I am planning on getting two sticks of 8gb each to put in dual channel, and I am not sure if they will work out of the box. I am aware that Lenovo says 8gb is max(on this laptop), however CompuRam/Speicherbauer people already have a dual channel kit (2x8GB =16GB - PC3-10600 DDR3 1333 MHz 204pin SO-DIMM DDR3) for sale which they guarantee 100% will work with my model: Z575 - they can easily be found by search I won't link to it so it's not seen as ad/spam)
I am considering one of the two memories to buy:
Corsair 2x8GB DDR3 1866MHz Vengeance CMSX16GX3M2B1866C10
and
Kingston 2x8GB DDR3 1866MHz KHX18LS11P1K2/16
(searching for their part number reveals more exact info, again I avoid linking to them, not sure if it's ok to link too much)
So i am not exactly sure if these will be accepted, although I am well aware they won't be seen above 1333Mhz (so they will downclock), but I want to have them working stable at 1333Mhz (and maybe in the future if I get new laptop I can still use these same memories)
I am not even sure if they will allow the laptop to power on and enter bios, maybe they will(maybe all memories will) but they could be unstable, unless some memory timings tweaking I could do in the bios... I don't know.
I would really appreciate it if someone could unlock it.
Naturally, I would post lots of pics and feedback about it. (for historical/consistency reasons)
Thank you very much in advance.
