ThinkPad T440P

Is there a kind of "universal" bios for the 440p to recover? I did not get a working bios dump out of my 440p :-(

You probably have an unreliable connection with the chip when trying to read it, so it will still be unreliable when trying to write to it as well. Make more backups, 2 or 3 and compare them to see if theyre the same or not. If you don`t know how to compare them post your backups and someone will have a look at them. If they are different then we know for sure the connection isn`t good

I managed to get a stable connection to my 440p. The bios chip (Winbond 25Q32FV) was now automatically recognized. It took only 10 times 😀
I read the chip and saw that it only contains "FF" – it seems the previous owner had already tried to write to the bios chip or apparently deleted it 🤕

Is there a possibilty to get any kind of dump or original FL1 from a Lenovo´s bios update file to flash ?
