    Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen1 BIOS File corrupted!

    Serial Number: PF42HXCM

    Board Number: NM-D882

    P16s Gen 1 (Type 21BT, 21BU) Laptop (ThinkPad) - Type 21BT

    Hello, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen1 with a likely corrupted BIOS.

    As soon as the power adapter is plugged in, the fan runs at full speed, but nothing else happens. When I search for the original BIOS version with UVPD, I get N3BET61W, but this exact version has been withdrawn by Lenovo.

    Unfortunately, I can't find any other original BIOS for this model.

    I've already tried creating a new BIOS from version 1.40, but without success.

    Perhaps someone can help.

    Thank you.

      Extremely corrupted BIOS needs repair folks,

      I have a Lenovo ThinkPad's BIOS file which is really badly corrupted. No idea how a BIOS could get corrupted this bad.
      ThinkPad P14s Gen 3
      Type 21AK-CT01WW
      SN PF-4B00E3
      Motherboard markings NM-D882 REV 1.0
      My BIOS version is N3BET69W
      EC is MEC17xx (MicroChip)

      I downloaded BIOS and EC from Lenovo and tried to fix my original BIOS, but the damage is in the File System. I tried other's BIOS from other threads, but the ME doesnt match.
      Mine is Consumer, Other's are Corporate.

      I tried the BIOS backup from the post #1 on this thread, I fixed it and cleaned the ME, But it didnt work for me.

      Any souls out there looking to help me?
      Thank a million in advance

      Happy repairs,

      P.S I have attached the BIOS and EC i donbwloaded from Lenovo site using my Seriel number.

            request for thinkpad L13 gen1 corrupted bios patching
            by musicfan1973
            Hello, everyone:
            I have a Thinkpad L13 gen 1 board. I believe the bios is corrupt. It does power on, but no picture. Fan spins normally, the ESC key led is always on, the Cap lock key is not responsive. Battery charging is normal. Without battery , the current goes up to 0.7 amp, then stucked at around 0.44 amp, no fluctuation . I checked all power rails , all normal except VCcGT which I belive should zero if no picture. Can someone patch a new bios for me. many thanks.

            Need fix for BIOS upgrade ALWAYS failing on Thinkpad X12 Detachable Gen 1 (Wistron 19835-1) with an unusual version
            by braveheartleo
            Good day.

            I'm seeking information, advice, or fix for a BIOS upgrade that is always failing on a Thinkpad X12 Detachable Gen 1 (Wistron 19835-1). The failure is indicated as "An unexpected error has occurred, and the process did not complete." as shown in (1) whenever I try upgrading the BIOS via the provided official BIOS bootable CD or BIOS Utility (Windows) update releases, practically EVERY version released for this unit as can be downloaded in (2). I acquired the unit as second hand, and the sticker labels like the CPU/Manufacturer logos and even the factory labels...

            Dell Inspiron 3471 BIOS Corrupted
            by grimacelord
            Hello,

            A client brought me their Dell Inspiron 3471 desktop after they shutdown the computer in the middle of it performing a BIOS update. They somehow believed that the BIOS update process was "fake" and so they shut it down even though the BIOS update flash screen told them DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER. They did it anyway and of course that corrupted the BIOS. The computer still turns on and it does attempt to go through BIOS Recovery, but it fails and loops back to the beginning. All other options to recover also do not work.

            I removed the BIOS IC chip from...

            Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

            Hello everyone,

            I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

            This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

            I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

            Summary of BIOS Whitelist Removal Problem


            Problem:
            I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.

            • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
            • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
            • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
            Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
            • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
