Lenovo E585 corrupt BIOS

[pauleccleston]

Issue: Windows Update pushed a broken BIOS update to the machine, resulting in a total lock up during BIOS update and bricking of the machine (no screen output, CAPS lock permanently on, only fan turning and power LED on). If anybody could help with getting the machine back up and running i would be extremely grateful.

Details as follows:-

Make/Model: Lenovo/E585 (Laptop)
Type: 20KV-CTO1WW
S/N: PF-1PFYB3 19/04
BIOS chip: Winbond 25Q128FWSQ 1844

Dump of corrupt BIOS attached as zip.

Thank you so much shiyab!, works a treat!, so in order to follow the philospoy of 'Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime' can you tell me what you did to get a working bios?, i understand there are certain values which need to extracted from the corrupt bios, such as serial, mac address, security etc, so how did you do this, i tried to use UEFITool and beyondcompare to compare the corrupt bios vs a E55 bios is saw earlier posted on here but the diff was too much for me to make any sense out of it.

LOL I'm assumng by that comment the steps involved are lengthy and require a lot of experience, if so then fair enough, i was after the basic steps of how it's done, but if it's a lot to document then don't worry about it, i shall just happily eat my fish and be happy :-).
