Hey guys,

I saw this on Youtube. When will this be available? I want to unlock a T15 Gen1 and a P15 Gen1, can I do both.
How much for the kit and how much the credit will cost?

We have this in two licensed versions: one for service shops and one for everyone else.

Anyway, you can do both. The kit should be around 109 Euro plus shipping and includes credit for full use for 24 hours, so you can unlock both within that time if you work on them. The T15 is easier to connect; the P15 might require more disassembly.

Lenovator has been available since August 1st. However, it is in high demand, and we have a limited number of PCBs from our supplier in Thailand.
We're trying to smooth out the production and we are following a first-come, first-served basis — so hurry up!

Just for the forum records, I unlocked my T15 with Lenovator in 5 minutes.

Just wow.

BTW, what Lenovator variables did you have with the T15 Gen1?

We're building a database with all models and variants.

Hi Bob,

Anything above 4500 triggered a CPU halt condition.

Then I used 4400, 12, and W250 as per Victor's advice, and it worked instantly. Took me no more than a few minutes with soldering and all.

Thinkpad P15 needed 4100, P12, and W200; otherwise, it wouldn’t budge due to an RFID sync error.

I’ll come again to buy credit. I have 2× T14 units coming up that need unlocking. Do you work on Sundays?

Hi Victor,

I need to buy the Lenovator solution. I have two T14s Gen1 laptops. From what I’ve read, Lenovator comes with credit for 24 hours of usage.
Does this mean unlimited unlocks during the 24-hour period? Of course, only limited by our skills in doing so many…?

Hello,

I can answer you this question: - Yes, Lenovator will let you use it 24h, then the credit expires and you have to buy a new credit and so on.
You could unlock the two T14 in 10 minutes more or less. Just remove the case back and solder a few wires and that's all.

For (currently) 79 Euro + 24 Euro shipping you get Lenovator + 24h credit bonus.

Thx, Bob. I see 19 Euro for shipping...

Probably, my colleague didn't update the price just yet but we upped the flat fee for shipping from Nov 1st. 24 Euro is still reasonable and we send with DPD in EU.
