Hi @ITUNUOLUWA0 , i forwarded your issue to ODM owner... in the meantime can you please try the following... SS BIOS Setup Menu so we can know current BIOS/EC version Set BIOS to default settings Place Linux-Firmware-Update to lowest boot priority

[kmauleon]

as per ODM owner...

May we know the bios version on customer system, thank you. I guess bios version is less than N3CET55W(1.36).

[ITUNUOLUWA0]

Actually the bios N3CET62W(1.43).

[ITUNUOLUWA0]

Should I attempt a roll back or what cause it is the latest uefi Bois version 🤔

[kmauleon]

u can try to downgrade but i don't think it's allowed... let me inform ODM regarding your BIOS version... BTW, can we have the SS of BIOS Menu?

[ITUNUOLUWA0]

[kmauleon]

got it... forwarded to ODM owner...

have you tried these..

• Set BIOS to default settings
• Place Linux-Firmware-Update to lowest boot priority

[ITUNUOLUWA0]

Have done that already still the same thing

[kmauleon]

how about fwupdmgr reinstall?

following up ODM owner...

[ITUNUOLUWA0]

How do I do that

[kmauleon]

oh.. you can't boot into the OS itself...

how about reinstalling BIOS via USB bootable >> https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/ph/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t14s-gen-3-type-21br-21bs/downloads/driver-list/component?name=BIOS%2FUEFI&id=5AC6A815-321D-440E-8833-B07A93E0428C
