Lenovo ThinkPad X140e: Supervisor BIOS password reset

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 13:31:50 -0700

When I want to install Linux with VirtualBox I get error message. I have to activate the virtualization in BIOS. When I go into the BIOS I need supervisior password, which I have not. I searched and searched for answers long time but can not find any solution to Lenovo x140e. I have been looking for EEPROM but can not find it. Is there anyone here who has any of the same problems. Really need help so I can activate the virtual option in the BIOS.

Lenovo ThinkPad X140e: Why is my computer not recognizing my battery is charging?

Thu, 10 Jan 2019 14:52:30 -0700

My laptop wouldn't turn on. I discovered one of the transistors was blown. I installed another transistor and the computer works great except the battery isn't showing that it is charging. The computer/windows 10 recognizes the battery is there, but not that it is charging even though the battery IS charging. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or a software problem… does anyone know how to fix it?…. Remember, it IS charging so any fix for batteries that won't charge will not work (I've already tried). Thanks!
