    Lenovo ThinkBook 13s-IML_S540 - IML_13_SVT_DIS_V1.3

    Hi. Can someone help me, please?
    This laptop stops turning on after a Windows update.

    So, my first guess is BIOS firmware corrupted.
    I bought the firmware from elsewhere and flashed it and still same results.
    I don't know if I need to add the serial number to the new bios firmware or if it should work as expected.

    The laptop has a led power light for 5 secs and goes off.
    How can I add the serial number to the new firmware and clean me?

    Inside the attachment has the dump original file and the new one.

    Thanks

        I found a short on the board and blown SMD resistor.

          [Help Please!] Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen4 Twist-Help Needed with Restoring Serial Number and Product ID
          by AWFRONT
          I have recently purchased a Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen4 Twist with Dual Screen. Here are the links for the product information:
          ThinkBook Plus Gen 4 (13″ Intel) | 13.3″ & 12″ Dual-Screen 2-in-1 Business Laptop | Lenovo UK
          However, somehow the serial number and the product name is no longer showing under the BIOS, Windows 11 or Lenovo Vantage.

          Strangely the laptop's under cover does not show any information about the Make, Model, Type or Serial Number (No sign of tampering but no labels etc...). I am not sure what to do.
          I do not have access to the original box...

          Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH - BIOS Serial number missing
          by TecnicaNTT
          Hi all,

          I got a Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH on the bench with a botched BIOS (somehow my client blanked it). I restored the laptop and got it up and running with original BIOS from Lenovo Support website.
          My problem is now that the machine details are missing in the BIOS (Serial Number, MTM, etc.)
          I tried to write the details with the Lenovo Uone Tool but had now luck. It is giving me an error: "ERROR: Locate protocol with LenovoEeprom, Status=[e]. EEPROM fail when reading or writing data."
          I am now asking here for help if anyone knows how to do this in...

          Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
          by Wahaz
          Hello,

          I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
          So I thought it was a Bios problem.
          I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....
