Bricked Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 Need BIOS file for FN+R Crisis recovery

[pcwhiz24]

Model: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 81W0
S/N: PF2BZS7D

I was having issues with this particular laptop where the NVME SSD would disappear and would not detect unless I took it out and reconnected it, then it would detect for only for a minute then disappear from BIOS. I figured updating the BIOS was worth a try so I booted into my HBCD USB and downloaded the latest BIOS file for that exact model. I ran the executable and everything went smooth, it beeped and then when it restarted, now it won't post, just black screen with fan spinning.

I already have a CH341A programmer on the way from Amazon that will arrive tomorrow but in the meantime, I want to try the FN+R recovery feature these all come with. I need the .Bin file of the original BIOS to put on my USB to revert it back. I'm an IT guy with 16 years of experience repairing laptops and such, but never used a CH341 before so it'll be a learning experience for me.

I'm so new to this lol. I figured it out, I attached the .zip with the dump file inside.

Heres your new bios.

After you get your CH341A programmer. Attach the original dump file, also before creating a new thread always search for the model you might find some already existing thread.

How do I find the original dump file?

The BIOS chip on it is a Winbond 25Q64JWSIQ. How do I get a dump file once I connect the CH341A?

I pressed read IC on NeoProgrammer and saved the dump file but it's not letting me attach it here as .bin or .hex? What do I do now?
