Lenovo has hidden some advanced options that are useful for overclocking, enabling s3 support, and other advanced functionality.

The advanced BIOS can be accessed in two ways:

* Using a special boot loader to access the exposed advanced BIOS options https://github.com/DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF. After booting choose the first option (Device Manager) and follow the steps after unlocking the BIOS.
* Writing a special value on the I/O port, which can be done with the following tool https://github.com/esno/yoga-bios-unlock

After unlocking the BIOS
- go to `AMD PBS` on the top tab (on the bios)
- find `S3/Modern Standby Support`
- Press enter to change the value from `Modern Standby Enable` to `S3 Enable`
