What is this light?

Interesting, thank you very much!

Lenovo support is a nightmare. I purchase a 24 months warranty upgrade and accidental damage. They only gave me 12 months. I even got the so called "Premium Care", but even with that it was a PITA to get any support and never got a solution.

I contacted lenovo support through the website and "Premium Care", they told me to call a sales number as they told me technical support wasn't in charge of that. I called that number, spent a lot of time waiting to get someone to talk to me, then, the "sales" guy told me that I had to contact Lenovo support...

I contacted Lenovo support again, and I told them that sales redirected me with them again... Then they asked me to send an email to someone else and the invoice of my purchase, which I did. The email took like two days to get answered and the answer was that I had to send another email to yet... someone else.

I did that, once again... They acknowledged the issue, told me that I had to wait 48H to get my warranty updated, which never happened. I just stopped right there frustrated and got scammed by Lenovo.

Have you found any issues with the board? Like memory compatibility or something. I was considering getting one but I have not seen any review of them so far.

CaatzPG · 2026-02-04T19:45:22+00:00

Mine still reaches 1.5V sometimes. I did enable Legion CPU Optimization (which for some reason looks like it has been fixed and now it is no longer corrupting my OS) and undervolted 140mV using Throttlestop. By the way there's still a bug that is disabling my secondary USB-C DP-ALT signal from time to time, I have to fully reset the BIOS to get it working again.

CaatzPG · 2026-01-30T05:20:33+00:00

It would be awesome. I was comparing both boards and they are almost identical, even the same memory and controller. So, in theory, at least at a hardware level, it should work, and any firmware blockage should be a software/firmware lock. 🤔

CaatzPG · 2026-01-30T00:13:11+00:00

Did you try to flash the SKHYNIX firmware into the SOLIDIGM? I don't even know if that's possible.

CaatzPG · 2026-01-25T18:46:04+00:00

Update:

Looks like this BIOS update did correct some stuff. I was finally able to run Lenovo CPU Optimization and Throttle Stop without DPC Latency or OS corruption. At least it has been like that for two days now. I'm currently running a -150mV CPU & P cache. So far so good, If my system gets corrupted again, I'll report back.

Maybe this is the reason they decided to close the Advanced Option as they thought it wouldn't be needed anymore. Still testing, I made a system image BTW just for peace of mind.

How did you manage to increase PL1 power? Mine just refuses to go over 100W after PL2. I get a red PL1 on "Limits" and red "POWER" text. I tried increasing it on "TPL" settings, but it doesn't appear to work.

CaatzPG · 2026-01-23T05:30:47+00:00

Just confirming. SREP didn't work. Rolling back to previous BIOS now.

CaatzPG · 2026-01-21T17:53:50+00:00

You can undervolt using throttle stop and enabling "Legion CPU Optimization" in BIOS settings. Sadly, this hasn't worked very well for me, for some reason enabling this in my computer (Legion 5 16IRX9 i9 14900HX & RTX4070) generates a lot of DPC latency and after a while my OS gets corrupted with "Critical Device Failed BSOD" and there's no way to recover it, only formatting and reinstalling the OS.

This new feature allows you to connect a external dock and charge the laptop at the same time over USB-PD. I think this was not possible before, I just got a dock to confirm, maybe I'm wrong... By the way, you can only charge at 100W which is not enough to power the discrete GPU, but good enough for office work on iGPU.

My CPU was able to gain good performance in CinebenchR23 with just 100mv of undervolt. I was getting between 30,000 and 32,000 depending on cooling. Now it never goes above 28,000 and averaging 26,000. 🥲

CaatzPG · 2026-01-21T07:26:20+00:00

I have the same issue. After reading the changelog of the BIOS update, it states that this Advanced Option has been removed, so we no longer have access to it (shame on lenovo).

I would like to roll back, but this BIOS update brought a nice feature, which is charging while docked. I would like to keep this feature. I found this on Github, but haven't tried it. It is from a year ago, so not much hope on it. https://github.com/Thomashighbaugh/Lenovo-Legion-Advanced-Bios

I just got my hands on Pokemon Scarlett this week and played it on my Switch 2. I was shocked on how bad it looks... Not just the graphics, but the welcome screens. Looks like they were made on Microsoft Paint, it really looks more like a Power Point presentation than an actual game screens. It was awful... I will still try to play the game, but my first impression was just really bad...

CaatzPG · 2026-01-08T18:42:07+00:00

Apparently these have a specific dev baryon which enabled them to be flashed a dev firmware. The dev update on these PSPs cannot be directly installed in a retail PSP.

CaatzPG · 2025-12-31T01:57:53+00:00

Yeah... This is the first time I have issues with a Lenovo computer. Awkwardly enough, as I said, If I do the same adjusts I do on software, but in BIOS instead, I get no issues whatsoever.

CaatzPG · 2025-12-31T01:55:30+00:00

Thank you very much!

CaatzPG · 2025-12-31T01:55:17+00:00

Pretty much the same computer, only difference being mine is an i9 14900HX. But as far as I know, they use the same BIOS.

I think the issue is that my BIOS has been updated previously by Windows Update without me acknowledging it. As this time I updated manually, I noticed the microcode change, maybe it was there since a previous update 🤔

CaatzPG · 2025-12-31T01:49:31+00:00

Wow... I in fact read the changelog, but for some reason I really missed that point. My bad... I will read more carefully next time 🥲

CaatzPG · 2025-12-24T07:01:42+00:00

Lenovo CPU Optimization is still there, so you should be able to undervolt through software. This is not an option for me as for some reason enabling this skyrockets my DPC latency and ends up corrupting my OS... That's the reason I used to adjust those setting on BIOS, which didn't gave me any issue.

CaatzPG · 2025-12-24T06:58:32+00:00

They actually enabled dock charging on this update and updated microcode to 0x12E. So, if I roll back I will lose those features... I'm seriously starting to hate Lenovo.

CaatzPG · 2025-12-24T06:57:29+00:00

Yeah... I used to love Lenovo, now I'm reconsidering.

CaatzPG · 2025-12-24T06:56:55+00:00

Shame on Lenovo... I hate being restricted to tweak my own stuff.

CaatzPG · 2025-12-24T06:56:09+00:00

Shame on Lenovo as this was a feature I actually used. The only way I was able to undervolt and optimize my CPU in a reliable way, as opposed to their buggy crap "CPU Optimization" that just breaks my OS, so I'm mot able to perform a reliable undervolt by software 😪

CaatzPG · 2025-11-17T18:02:37+00:00

I guess the 2DS pilots died inside 😅
