    Dell latitude 5320 corrupted bios repair

    Hi,
    I got corrupted bios bin file, which way is correct to repair.
    File puts errors on Me Analyzer and cannot open in FIT.

    To open in FIT I made:
    1. Extract MFS and EFS using MEAnalyzer from other bios file with the same parameters
    2. put it in HxD to my file
    3. MEAnalyzer shows 1 error after that
    4. file opens in FIT

    and:

    A:
    1. extract current dell bios on website
    2. put System BIOS with BiosGuard v1.30.0.bin using FIT
    3. MEAnalyzer OK no errors
    (this version shows only logo at bootup - freezeing)

    or

    B:
    1. get the same ME region as in file 15.0.23.1706_COR_LP_B_PRD_EXTR-Y_E1BB3E12
    2. put it into file using FIT
    3. MEAnalyzer OK no errors
    (not tried yet)

    or

    C:
    1. extract current dell bios on website
    2. put System BIOS with BiosGuard v1.30.0.bin using FIT
    3. get the same ME region as in file 15.0.23.1706_COR_LP_B_PRD_EXTR-Y_E1BB3E12
    4. put it into file using FIT
    5. MEAnalyzer OK no errors
    (not tried yet)

    Which version should work ?

      Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e 2H1703-27220F Rev. A Marked as U2501 on the motherboard.

      Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

      Hello everyone,

      I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

      This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

      I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

      Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
      by m1ch43lzm
      Hi everyone
      I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
      Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

      Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
      There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...

      Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
      by Forest79
      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)...

      BIOS file for ASUS F542UN laptop
      by Sebastian Codrean
      Hello to all of you! I need help with a BIOS file.
      The BIOS chip is fried on my Asus F542UN laptop, and I bought a new chip that needs programming. I have a CH341a programmer but I need a .bin BIOS file. On Asus support page the firmware has another extension, .310 and from reading on this forum I understand that that file is not complete BIOS.
      So, in short I need the "complete" BIOS .bin file to flash on the new chip. Another issue is that on back of the case the label says F542UN but on the sticker on the motherboard it's X542UN.

      Lenovo Legion Y540 – Need help repairing BIOS after bad downgrade
      by gestalt.exe
      Hi everyone,

      My Lenovo Legion Y540 (i7-9750H, RTX 2060) bricked after I downgraded from BHCN44WW to BHCN21WW.
      Laptop stopped booting entirely.

      I used a CH341A programmer to dump the corrupted 16MB BIOS.
      i then attempted the following:
      1. Downloaded stock BIOS BHCN39WW from Lenovo
      2. Trimmed it to 16MB
      3. Extracted the BIOS region from the corrupted dump
      4. Extracted the BIOS region from the stock 39WW
      5. Replaced the corrupted BIOS region with the stock one (within hxd , opened the corrupted dump and replaced its region by the stock)
      6. Injected back my LDGB / DMI
      ...
