If you used "--programmer internal" parameter, disconnect CMOS battery for 15 minutes and plug it back.
I "bricked" my t60 this way too, but it helped me and I was able to flash it second time.

Re: WTB 15" Flexview/IPS screen for T60.
I have a lightly-used BoeHydis HV150UX2-100 UXGA IPS LED-screen, complete with modified inverter and LCD-cable-adapter. Its original LED-circuit failed, but I was able to replace that. The LCD is as good as new and in perfect condition. No scratches, no dead pixels, no bleeding. Price: €130.- incl....

Flash lenovo bios back. You DID a backup copy, right?
If it does not get back to life, I fear, your motherboard is fried.

It looks like LibreBoot disables tpm on the t480 https://libreboot.org/docs/install/t480.html#tpm-disabled Would this require me to reinstall win11 and bypass the tpm requirement?

Re: new to me modded t480!
I really want to make use of the WWAN slot, but don't need the extra storage enough to warrant the $$$. I do however have a M+B key 512gb 2230 NVMe drive, but if I try to use it in the WWAN, I get a 1802 unauthorized network card error which prevents me from even going into bios or OS. I did some l...

Re: Checking interest before FS: Handmade ThinkPad T/X6x battery repair kit
One more thing I shall consider with that project is, is it a good idea if there is some sort of place online where we gather all the EEPROM dumps of these batteries, kinda like a BIOS dump, and then put a locked one vs one that's unlocked (permanent fail flag removed), so that ppl have somewhere t...

TPFantic is completely right. I have nothing to add

Linux Mint by default installs some drivers for NIC's and GPU's. Are you sure your windows installation had required drivers?

Re: Ready to ditch Windows?
When I was looking at Linux machines some time back, they seemed more expensive as they required you to get the best parts. I don't think you'd get a discount on a used box if you plan to run Linux. I run all three OSes and each has their pros/cons. What is "Linux machine"? Man, you just stick a th...
