              Did that work? The dump should be 8MB. I bricked my BIOS attempting to flash it and I need a dump from an L530 too!

                post the backup of the bios ... the original bios of the laptop ..

                  HI!
                  I have attempted a BIOS mod for my L530 (legacy) with the well-know ch341 EEPROM method on linux, but it didn“t work. My laptop doesn't turn on any more. The dump is just rubbish.

                  It is unresponsive to the power button (no fan starting). I measured voltages across the motherboard (16.8 V and 20.4 V), but the battery is not charging (no LED on the screen and no voltage at the pins).

                  I now would like to try to overwrite it with the BIOS of another L530 before buying a new BIOS chip.

                    Re: Lenovo Thinkpad L530 Need Bios

                    I tried to flash the dump suggested in this thread. What I get is:

                    Code:
                    flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.8.0-45-generic (x86_64)
                    	flashrom is free software, get the source code at [url]https://flashrom.org[/url]
                    
                    	Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
                    	Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q64.V" (8192 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi.
                    	Reading old flash chip contents... done.
                    	Erasing and writing flash chip... FAILED at 0x000b6000! Expected=0xff, Found=0xae, failed byte count from 0x000b6000-0x000b6fff: 0x382
                    	ERASE FAILED!
                    and continues with many others FAILED at 0x000b6000. Why can“t erase it?

                    I am starting to think I am looking at the wrong chip! I am targetting the Winbond w25q64bv using the CH341a, but in some pictures and in the BIOS modding of the W510 I found that people are targetting a ps08a. Which one is the right one? If the w25q64bv is not the right one, what am I looking at?

                      Re: Lenovo Thinkpad L530 Need Bios

                      May I ask you how you got the flash chip to get detected?
                      When I'm attaching a chip clip to the SPI flash chip with a CH341a Programmer, I just see RUN LED lighting up constantly. RUN LED is connected to the CS line, so Chip select is active.
                      This may be due to the Embedded controller being powered by the 3.3V I supply on VCC and jams the SPI bus.
                      I then tried with RaspPi and if I use piscope to check I/O on the data lines, I see permanent traffic on MOIS/MISO/CLK, so EC jamming the SPI bus may be a plausible explanation.
                      Is there anything I can do besides desoldering the chip, which I'd like to avoid?

                        Re: Lenovo Thinkpad L530 Need Bios

                        It seems that the CH341A doesn't provide enough bower to power the whole circuit, flashing with a RaspPi with a new chip clip finally worked without any issues.

                                Hello,
                                Тhere was a development on my problem.
                                I went so far as to extract the body in which the check is made for
                                "error 1802: Unauthorized network card is plug"
                                but I lack the knowledge to edit the assembler code.
                                is there anyone who can help?

                                  Hi all! I was reading on tutorials how to flash a bios to remove password from a bios, and I ended up reading the EC chip instead of the main bios chip, it only gave me a .bin file of 1,024kb, I learned later that that is the EC chip not the main bios chip (I should have read the tutorials here instead before attempting anything, my bad), I went to flash the original backup, the 1,024kb size file into the same chip and laptop is not powering up anymore. I may have screwed the chip or even the motherboard (Hopefully not), I am trying to see if there is a fix before I discard it. I had a couple...

                                  Hello everyone,

                                  First, the data in brief:
                                  Manufacturer: Lenovo
                                  Model: ThinkPad L15 G3 21C3-0016GE
                                  motherboard: LG4 LT5 ADL RT UMA MB 8L - 448.0PZ26.0011
                                  IC Bios 1: MX77L25650F

                                  So far I've been a silent reader, but now I need your help

                                  I bought a laptop. The seller said the bios was locked. I was looking for a way to remove this ban.
                                  I then got the CH341A and pulled the corresponding files from here https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...evices-and-ele...
                                  The laptop was brought in with a BIOS problem and a password. After reading the dump, the information was damaged. I ask for help in the BIOS with a clean ME region. Motherboard 213035-1. Serial number: PW+04e998, Type number: 21c3-0016ge

                                  Hi!
                                  Went dumpster-diving and found a bricked Lenovo P14S in trash, few weeks earlier. Symptoms - no screen, no POST, no beep, just keyboard LEDs flashing on powerup. Mute button+LED was responding though, and the display self-test was still working (via the key combo Ctrl+Fn+Power held for some seconds, see the Service manual).

                                  Incidentally, Windows 11 have recently started auto-flashing computer BIOS in our region. Even more suspiciously, Lenovo has released a BIOS update just few days before the PC was trashed. About a week later, the BIOS update image has been oficially marked...

                                  Need BIOS Dump/ROM for Lenovo Thinkstation p500

                                  Hello all,
                                  I have a Lenovo Thinkstation P500 that is stuck at post with no display, it happened after I changed the memory timings in bios. I can not clear CMOS using the jumper on the motherboard, also tried re-flashing bios suing a USB stick but it also doesn't work. The only solution that I can think of right now is re-flashing the bios chip using an external programmer but the problem is that I don't have the bios dump of p500 for flashing externally and I don't know the location of bios chip. If someone can provide the bios dump and bios chip location it would be really helpful....

                                  [REQUEST] 2MB BIOS Dump for Lenovo NM-E471 Rev 2.0 (Winbond 25Q16JWSIQ Chip)
                                  by hyperwood
                                  Hi everyone,

                                  I’m looking for a 2 MB BIOS dump for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 16ARH7H / Legion 5 with mainboard NM-E471 Rev. 2.0.

                                  The BIOS chip is a Winbond W25Q16FW (1.8V, 2MB) and it's completely unresponsive / bricked. I tried recovery via USB but no success. Now I want to reflash it externally using a CH341A programmer.

                                  I already found 32MB dumps (e.g. from Vinafix and Badcaps), but they are too large for the chip – and the last 2MB in those files are just FF FF FF....

                                  āœ… What I need:
                                  • A working 2MB BIOS dump
                                  • Matching NM-E471 Rev. 2.0, e.g. JY575
                                  ...
