    t480 BIOS update

    Hi, I have a thinkpad t480, the BIOS won't update via Windows update or manually. Fwupd doesn't work either. Here is a dump of my bios. Could it be updated to version 1.44 please?

      Double check the serial number, distinguish between zero and letter O.

        The serial number is correct.. Copied directly from System Settings in KDE plasma.

          Correct. How do you define it correctly ? I searched for this serial number on the Lenovo website and it led nowhere.

            I checked in the BIOS as well, and it is the same Serial, with the zeroes being zeroes with lines slashed through them signifying so. I don't know why the serial number lookup doesn't work. But I'm sure that it's the right serial.

                Dell 9010 MT BIOS Update Always Fails
                by mikeybass
                Hi, I hope some one has some advice for me. I searched the forums but didn't see anything relevant. I acquired two identical Dell 9010 Mid Tower computers from a business office upgrade (they were going to throw them out). Both of them have the same motherboard (00F82W). One of them works flawlessly. The other one had a corrupted BIOS. I tried flashing numerous main BIOS and EC files from the internet, but none of them worked. I decided to copy the main BIOS and EC from the working 9010 computer and successfully flashed the corrupted BIOS. This got the computer able to boot again and run norm...

                Update bios EFCN58WW to EFCN59WW for solving The Connected AC adapter has a lower wattage than the recommended AC adapter




                I have a Lenovo Legion 5 15imh05a device that I bought used online. It came with a 20V 8.5A 170W charger.

                The BIOS version is EFCN58WW.

                When I turn on the device, it displays the message:
                "The Connected AC adapter has a lower wattage than the recommended AC adapter..."

                The device rarely charges the battery, and even when it does, it doesn't show that it's charging.

                I've tried

                I have a Dell Precision T1650 MT workstation (of the following spec.) that was bricked yesterday when attempting to update the BIOS from A27 to A28 per:

                BIOS update wont complete - Dell Latitude 7420
                by Julian Bailey
                Hi all

                Anyone come across this issue where a BIOS flash will only part complete?

                It will update the system BIOS and Primary EC BIOS fine but fails to update the Intel TBT Retimer, Intel TBT Retimer 2 and ME Firmware.

                NVMe m.2 drive isnt detected in the BIOS, but you can get into the BIOS fine and it all works in there as intended.

                The drive works fine in another laptop.

                Link to a video I made of what its doing here:

                Any ideas on how to overcome this?

                Cheers...

                HP Elitedesk 800 G2 DM / Mini -> Can't get BIOS flashed, tried multiple. Update Brick
                by Datahoarder
                HP EliteDesk 800 G2 MINI/DM (1L PC)

                I have 40 of these units. All of which i tried to update bios with HP's utility got bricked. All of them were bios password locked, i used the jumper thing to reset it. Couple updated bios, one of which worked fine for _ONE_ boot. Second is now mixed with rest, i don't know which it is specifically so have not retested it.

                All had some MESpilock failed errors on (my) first boot of the unit.
