Re: [Solved] ThinkBook 14+ Gen6 AMD resets when suspending with lid close

Do you have a backup of the file <NLCN23WW>? Can you provide it? The official website has removed the file.

https://18.142.250.122/BIOS-NLCN23WW.exe
(temporarily)

Thank you so much!

Just in case, the older BIOS versions have been backed up by one of the users in this russian tech forum thread. But you have to register to download them (it's a regular forum account):

https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtop … 9200697-19

For now I have uploaded all the BIOS versions here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/1bvm92. They will be stored there for 30 days and then need to be downloaded once a month, otherwise they will be deleted.

There is also mention of the problem similar to yours in the post, just above the links to the BIOS. It's in Russian, but google translate should help. It looks like the issue was fixed in NLCN23WW, but supposedly broke up again in the following version/versions.

In addition, I also noticed that the higher version of BIOS can no longer turn off TPM, and it is displayed as MFG MODE

Hi! Btw have you resolved this mfg mode issue?
As for the 2nd SSD random disconnecting it has been fixed on NLCN31WW (and NLCN33WW too).

No, it's still MFG MODE, i think TPM can't close anymore.
Sorry, I don't remember it clearly. Maybe it was not allowed to turn off since the initial BIOS <NLCN22WW>.
The new BIOS isn't fix the 2nd SSD disconnecting for me, but i try swap 2 SSDs poistion, its fixed (probably), without any bandwidth loss. I think it's just electrical compatibility issues with some NVMe (for me is intel 760P).

Re: [Solved] ThinkBook 14+ Gen6 AMD resets when suspending with lid close

Okay so I jsut got this laptop ThinkBook 14+ Gen 6 AHP second hand (almost new) for under 500 euros. Anyways I am facing this exact issue on latest ubuntu and fedora. (See my reddit post with video here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comment … ound_how/). 

@Rapiz and Bzzz_56 I know you mentioned to set up blacklist of ideapad_laptop module. The thing is this issue doesnt happen on windows at all. Why does it happen on Linux?

I am not a techie with the linux stuff just a normal user so I dont understand many of the things about fixing this Appereciate any help mate.

U may check the patch for this issue upstream and its comment here

For distros outside of arch, ideapad-laptop-tb is also available as dkms modules (so that charge conservation and platform profile can be toggled by user).

Thank you! I switched to arch (Gnome) and this issue is gone! But unfortunately I am having other weird issues after waking up from suspend like the trackpad not clicking certain elements. Its really annoying and makes me want to go back to windows which I also hate. I make a reddit post about it but got no response
Link to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … pad_after/
A video of the issue: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11jrPmn … sp=sharing

Do you have any clue as to what might be happening?

Also the power draw for basic usage is considerably higher on arch compared to something like fedora which would be around 11-14W. Here on arch its around 20w doing the same basic tasks, sometimes playing lecture videos on moodle. I installed TLP but that did not change a thing.

I would really appreciate advice on these issues. They make it so frustrating to use windows.

Can you try measuring power draw while watching a 1080p yt video on 80% brightness @120Hz? and a 4k video too.

Please don't hijack the post
Open a new thread ad describe your problem there (don't just link a reddit thread, forcing people to go there, read that thread and then return to respond here) and you'll also have to provide more data (notably about your hardware, you an also already check whether the input is still registered w/ evtest and "libinput debug-events", in doubt post your system journal) and maybe a little less of "or else I'll have to return to windows" - cause nobody really cares.
