    Fix BIOS Dump - Lenovo ThinkCentre E73

    Hello guys, i have an original dump BIOS from one ThinkCentre E73 with almost 8Mb.
    This file makes my machine FAN start loud and fast without POST and after 2Sec. turn's off, and do this in loop sequence everytime.

    I try to flash the BIOS with website official file and the issue seems to go away now the machine turn's on with FAN always running fast and loud with no POST.

    So i presume my original file only needs to be fixed to work well again.
    I drop here my dump, could anyone take a look and fix it please ?

    I want this dump fixed because i want to keep original machine info on file. thanks for your help.

              Hello, thanks for your upload and time, your dump not work.
              Machine keeps the same issue.

              The most strange is whenm i flash the IC with official ROM (4Mb)
              Machine works without looping, but FAN spins fast and loud always and no POST.

                  Hello once more, sorry for the delay, i was busy at another issues...
                  BUt i tested this dump too and no lucky... should this is a BIOS Problem ?
                  Or another issue on motherboard ?

                  I ask this because everytime i use 4MB Dump file the machine do another type of issue.
                  BUt when i use everytime the 8MB dump files... goes to the first stage.
                  Turn ON but no POST no image and looping this.

                        The bios update is only 4MB,there is no full 8MB bios to download from lenovo. The bios at posts 2,5 and 8 are all 8MB .One or all of those should have worked. Your problem is not with the bios .

                          Thanks for your reply, yes i belive in you, the only thing i suspect at the beggining was the fact that i program the IC and everytime i use the 4MB the machine do another thing.

                          But always i use the 8MB original file or even the posts 2,5 and 8, machine keeps to looping without POST and FAN always at Max speed.

                          Did you suggest any test ?

                                          Hi all,

                                          My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
                                          The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
                                          When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
                                          (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

                                          NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
                                          PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC

                                          Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed

                                          Hello,

                                          I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
                                          The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

                                          However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

                                          Unable to extract bios file from Lenovo bios exectuable
                                          by survivalbloke
                                          I'm trying to extract a flashable bios file(ch341a) from the lenovo bios executable download. I have tried the instructions from this site https://starkeblog.com/lenovo/uefi/2...pdate-exe.html, which are not working. According to those instructions, after issuing the command
                                          Code:
                                          "innoextract 7wcn38ww.exe"
                                          it should create an \app folder, inside which, I should find a newly created "7wcn38ww.exe" file. I should then be able to extract that using 7zip and find my .FD file.

                                          The trouble I'm having is that I'm not getting the newly...

                                          I have Thinkpad T560 Which has corrupted BIOS. I have acquired Ch341A SPI flasher to program the BIOS externally. I see that to program the BIOS, i need a bin file for the BIOS. I was able to extract the .exe file of BIOS from Lenovo given here in this link:
