+ <h1>A note about GPUs</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ This guide currently assumes that you have an Intel GPU (non-switchable).
+ Some T500 have switchable graphics (ATI), which means that you can choose between ATI or Intel
+ in the <i>BIOS setup</i>. When switching to Intel, is lenovobios not enabling ATI
+ (where ATI is disabled by default and the system uses the Intel chip), or are they
+ disabling it (where the system uses the ATI chip by default)?
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Basically, switchable graphics is untested, but it should be easy to get it working
+ (if it doesn't already work).

+ <h2>
+ The procedure
+ </h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Remove all screws:<br/>
+ <img src="images/t500/0000.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ It is also advisable to, throughout the disassembly,
+ place any screws and/or components that you removed in
+ the same layout or arrangement. The follow photos demonstrate
+ this:<br/>
+ <img src="images/t500/0001.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0002.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove the HDD/SSD and optical drive:<br/>
+ <img src="images/t500/0003.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0004.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove the palm rest:<br/>
+ <img src="images/t500/0005.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0006.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove the keyboard and rear bezel:<br/>

+ <img src="images/t500/0008.jpg" alt="" />

+ <img src="images/t500/0011.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0012.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you have a WWAN/3G card and/or sim card reader,
+ remove them permanently. The WWAN-3G card has DMA, and
+ proprietary firmware inside; the technology is identical
+ to what is used in mobile phones, so it can also track
+ your movements:<br/>
+ <img src="images/t500/0013.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0017.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0018.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove this frame, and then remove the wifi chip:<br/>

+ <img src="images/t500/0015.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0016.jpg" alt="" />

+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove the NVRAM battery (already removed in this photo):<br/>
+ <img src="images/t500/0026.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When you re-assemble, you will be replacing the wifi chip
+ with another. These two screws don't hold anything together,
+ but they are included in your machine because the screw
+ holes for half-height cards are a different size, so
+ use these if you will be installing a half-height card:<br/>
+ <img src="images/t500/0027.jpg" alt="" />

+ <img src="images/t500/0050.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0051.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove the motherboard and cage from the base
+ (the marked hole is where those cables were routed through):<br/>
+ <img src="images/t500/0052.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0053.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove all screws, arranging them in the same layout
+ when placing the screws on a surface and marking each screw
+ hole (this is to reduce the possibility of putting them
+ back in the wrong holes):<br/>
+ <img src="images/t500/0054.jpg" alt="" />
+ <img src="images/t500/0055.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Also remove this:<br/>

+ <img src="images/t500/0059.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The flash chip is next to the memory slots. On this
+ machine, it was a SOIC-8 (4MiB or 32Mb) flash chip:<br/>

+
+ <p>
+ Of course, make sure to turn on your PSU:<br/>
+ <img src="images/x200/disassembly/0013.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Now, you should be ready to install libreboot.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Flashrom binaries for ARM (tested on a BBB) are distributed in libreboot_util. Alternatively,
+ libreboot also distributes flashrom source code which can be built.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Log in as root on your BBB, using the instructions in <a href="bbb_setup.html#bbb_access">bbb_setup.html#bbb_access</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Test that flashrom works:<br/>
+ # <b>./flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev1.0,spispeed=512</b><br/>
+ In this case, the output was:
+ </p>
+<pre>

+Found Macronix flash chip &quot;MX25L6445E/MX25L6473E&quot; (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
+Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s): &quot;MX25L6405(D)&quot;, &quot;MX25L6406E/MX25L6436E&quot;, &quot;MX25L6445E/MX25L6473E&quot;
+Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c &lt;chipname&gt; option.
+</pre>
+ <p>
+ How to backup factory.rom (change the -c option as neeed, for your flash chip):<br/>
+ # <b>./flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev1.0,spispeed=512 -r factory.rom</b><br/>
+ # <b>./flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev1.0,spispeed=512 -r factory1.rom</b><br/>
+ # <b>./flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev1.0,spispeed=512 -r factory2.rom</b><br/>
+ Note: the <b>-c</b> option is not required in libreboot's patched flashrom, because
+ the redundant flash chip definitions in <i>flashchips.c</i> have been removed.<br/>
+ Now compare the 3 images:<br/>
+ # <b>sha512sum factory*.rom</b><br/>
+ If the hashes match, then just copy one of them (the factory.rom) to a safe place (on a drive connected to another machine, not
+ the BBB). This is useful for reverse engineering work, if there is a desirable behaviour in the original firmware
+ that could be replicated in coreboot and libreboot.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Follow the instructions at <a href="../hcl/gm45_remove_me.html#ich9gen">../hcl/gm45_remove_me.html#ich9gen</a>
+ to change the MAC address inside the libreboot ROM image, before flashing it.
+ Although there is a default MAC address inside the ROM image, this is not what you want. <b>Make sure
+ to always change the MAC address to one that is correct for your system.</b>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Now flash it:<br/>
+ # <b>./flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev1.0,spispeed=512 -w path/to/libreboot/rom/image.rom -V</b>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <img src="images/x200/disassembly/0015.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You might see errors, but if it says <b>Verifying flash... VERIFIED</b> at the end, then it's flashed and should boot.
+ If you see errors, try again (and again, and again); the message <b>Chip content is identical to the requested image</b>
+ is also an indication of a successful installation.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Example output from running the command (see above):
