    Lenovo thinkbook 14-iil BIOS

    Hi team,

    I bought a lenovo thinkbook 14-iil with a core i 5 processor, Radeon graphics chip, board number: DALVACMB8DO - REV D from an auction. It does not have a bios chip and my guess is that someone disoldered it, so I am planning to buy a new replacement bios chip but I do not know how to reprogram the chip, can someone assist please

          I have read the information in the link share, thank you. My only question is, am I able to reprogram the new bios without the original image?

                      Thank you, the bios has worked though the laptop has no video output and it is constantly rebooting after a minute or so.

                                  Hello, first of all, excuse me, I am using the translator, English is not my native language.

                                  I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S - 14IKB laptop.



                                  The tablet did not recognize me when I connected it, so I checked the device manager and I realized that there were many with the exclamation mark, so one by one I began to update their drivers until the sign disappeared of admiration, I even updated the BIOS, and the laptop rebooted normally and worked, so far so good, but the tablet still did not recognize me, I read on the internet that it could be due to a...

                                  Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

                                  A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

                                  Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

                                  A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

                                  The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

                                  Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

                                  Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
                                  by BMCappelletti
                                  Long story short:
                                  - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
                                  - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
                                  - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
                                  - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
                                  (seems like the story was not that short)

                                  He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...

                                  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 LA-K321P two "bios" chip
                                  by jasko_jacker
                                  This motherboard has two chips one is UC4 -> 16MB which contains the main bios without the me inside, in fact if
                                  use ME analyzer to check, it returns (see pics) "file does not contain intel engine/graphics/indipendent firmaware".
                                  The second chip is UC2 -> 8MB, it contains ME data (see pics) and other things like PMC. If there are problems
                                  like power management or ME, the chip to be rebuilt is UC4 and not UC2. Anyone confirm this?
                                  I unzipped the exe file via this guide on the official Lenovo website
