    thinkpad p53s Bios

    I am in the process of flashing the bios on my bricked lenovo thinkpad p53s. I am using a raspberry pi and a pomona test clip, all is going well and i can read the flash chip as well as remove the old bios but i am having trouble figuring out what file is the new bios. I extracted the .FL1 file from the most recent bios update (n2iuj38w.iso) from the lenovo website. Using UEFITool I can explore the contents of the .FL1 file but I don't seem to know what file to write onto the flash chip. The only file that has the same size required by the bios is the padding. I am pretty stumped so if anyone had any idea on how to proceed that would be greatly appreciated.

    You are right to use the .FL1 file, but you have to know where to cut it from. If you need the bios file, you have to post the backup bios file (even if it is corrupted) and the serial number.

      My laptop serial number is PF292CDY
      And here is the backup bios file

      This all started when i made the mistake of putting special characters in my bios password. All that shows up on my computer when I boot it is "0199: System Security - Security password retry count exceeded" Is this the right process I should take and Is my computer recoverable?

                post S/N, full name and model, motherboard model, TYPE,etc.

                post the contents of the bios chip even if it is corrupted..

                  Help to get Lenovo BIOS bin file for Thinkpad T560
                  by maanee11
                  Hello Everyone,

                  I have Thinkpad T560 Which has corrupted BIOS. I have acquired Ch341A SPI flasher to program the BIOS externally. I see that to program the BIOS, i need a bin file for the BIOS. I was able to extract the .exe file of BIOS from Lenovo given here in this link:

                  https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/p...me=BIOS%2FUEFI

                  In the extracted files, I see that BIOS containing file has extension .FL1 and I need to extract or convert it...

                  NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
                  by Citymin
                  Hi all,

                  My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
                  The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
                  When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
                  (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

                  NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
                  PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC
                  S/N : 5RNK9FFT70...

                  Lenovo Thinkpad X1 carbon 11th Gen BIOS problem
                  by MaxonDomkrat
                  Hi everyone.

                  I have an engineering sample of a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 11th Gen (TYPE 21HM-2FVT05, S/N PF-40G7CD) with an Intel Core i7 1360P (ES – Intel 0000). Since this is an engineering sample, the BIOS had a massive number of various settings. One day, I was experimenting with the BIOS settings and, after saving them, the laptop stopped booting and played a melody after pressing the power button, signaling error code 0002 (Internal bus error), just like in this post: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...shooting-lapto...
