    You must use an SPI bios programmer to make backups of both chips.When you have those post them here and include the laptop serial number,full laptop model number and motherboard model number https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...before-posting
    What exactly are you trying to do ,what is wrong with the laptop ?

        You say you have read both chips so post those backups here, along with the laptop serial number i asked for previously...

            Summary of BIOS Whitelist Removal Problem


            Problem:
            I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
            Initial Findings:
            • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
            • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
            • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
            Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
            • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
            • I concluded that the

            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

            Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 Desktop - Corrupt BIOS
            by grimacelord
            Hello there.

            I am working on a Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 desktop that currently has a corrupt BIOS and I have been unsuccessful thus far in trying to fix it myself.

            History:

            1. This computer came to me initially with an error message that said "BiInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001" or "0135 fan error". It would always be one of the two errors. It should be noted that when it produced the fan error, there was no physical problem with the fans. They were all spinning just fine.

            I searched for this error online and discovered...

            Lenovo IdeaPad 3 - Hard Disk not recognized in BIOS
            by mkdj
            Dear all,

            I have recently fixed a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 ALC6 that was not booting due to a BIOS issue. After flashing the BIOS, the laptop boots up, but hard disk is not recognized in BIOS. Is says "Hard Disk : Not Installed". I have tried with 2 different drives (one that I know is working on another laptop) but I get the same result. I do not know if disks were recognized before I got the laptop and fix it, but I don't see any reason why not. I can boot on USB though.

            Here the steps I have taken to fix the laptop:
            - downloaded latest BIOS from Lenovo Website...

            [REQUEST] 2MB BIOS Dump for Lenovo NM-E471 Rev 2.0 (Winbond 25Q16JWSIQ Chip)
            by hyperwood
            Hi everyone,

            I’m looking for a 2 MB BIOS dump for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 16ARH7H / Legion 5 with mainboard NM-E471 Rev. 2.0.

            The BIOS chip is a Winbond W25Q16FW (1.8V, 2MB) and it's completely unresponsive / bricked. I tried recovery via USB but no success. Now I want to reflash it externally using a CH341A programmer.

            I already found 32MB dumps (e.g. from Vinafix and Badcaps), but they are too large for the chip – and the last 2MB in those files are just FF FF FF....

            ✅ What I need:
            • A working 2MB BIOS dump
            • Matching NM-E471 Rev. 2.0, e.g. JY575
            ...
