Hi Rafael,
I have a X230, but this has never happened to me before. Sorry :-( .
Have you tried unplugging, waiting 10 seconds and plugging the CMOS
battery cable and trying to boot afterwards?
Also disconnect the laptop battery during this procedure.
Regards,

Hi everyone
Since here are the most skilled professions I've seeing I believe
someone can help me.
I have a Lenovo x230, and I'll would like to install coreboot in it to
start to understand how it works, and in future start to help the
community, as soon as I have the knowledge for that.
Last week I did a test that makes my progress stop.
Just for fun, and to check how the commercial bios works, I connected
a postcard on the wireless slot (as far as I know this is a pcie slot).
I already did that with other notebooks I have and nothing wrong happened.
The problem is that this time, with this x230, after I connected the
postcard and turned the system on, the system stopped to boot. And the
post card does not stop at a specific post code.
What happens now, is that every time I turn the system on, the battery
led blinks 3 times, being two blinks followed by a 1 second stop and
after that the last blink, and the system reboots.
The post card I'm using is this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/3in1-Mini-PCI-E-PCI-LPC-Tester-PC-Desktop-Diagnostic-Post-Card-Error-Code-Test/191862585496?hash=item2cabe6b898:g:x8MAAOSw2x1XKB5E
So my questions are:
-Does someone believe this postcard could have bricked the system? (Why?)
-Any idea about how to solve that?
My next test will be to write a coreboot build at this system using
buspirate, but since I'll only have time for this next week, I would
like to have some things to think about, this is why I sent this
e-mail before doing the coreboot flash test.
Any comment will be helpful.
Thanks and Regards
Rafael R. Machado
