Thinkbook 15 G3 ACL

[charliebigpotatoes]

I've got a thinkbook 15 G3 ACL that hung during a bios update and now laptop starts with blank screen, no sound and just fan whirring and caps and esc light on.

Bios chip is Winbond W74M25JW, which i've read with Neoprogrammer - file attached.

S/N of laptop is MP279KG9.

I'd like to flash it without desoldering the chip, is that likely to work?

Any help appreciated, this is my first request so apologies if I've missed something.
Thanks, Charles

That's worked, I was able to program the chip on-board/without de-soldering it.

Windows shows my serial number and activated windows licence.

Don't know how you do it (would love to know) efharisto volinakis!
