Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 14282 Bios

[JLCurve]

Hi I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 14282-2m that cycles on powerup. Fan and KB lights ramp up then down. I suspect it is a bios corruption problem. I have tried 16MB files for other similar boards (12xxx) but worst results (nothing comes on at all).

If anyone has this file, I would be grateful.

Thanks,

Turns out there is a HW problem with the motherboard. So this bios image is probably a good one!

Not much info on these Gen 4 X1 .

Cheers!

2nd gen had problems with onboard memories. Not sure if 4th gen also has this problem. Similar symptoms.

Re: Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 14282 Bios

I have this motherboard on a lenovo x1 carbon yoga 20FR

I Think I bricked it after a bios update

It boots to bios but no further and cant repair in bios

i assume the bios is corrupt. The bios is here

https://englandandco-my.sharepoint.c...feHtQ?e=RgsB1Y

i have flashed the motherboard with a different bios but all it did was turn the fan on for 1 second and then die.

Is it possible to fix the original bios?

i have a ch341 to flash the motherboard. Otherwise I was looking to flash with the most recent bios update which is here

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/downloads/ds111756

but i dont know how to extract the bios or if it would work. I assume it was this bios that was updating when it bricked

If anyone can help I would be grateful.

Re: Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 14282 Bios

I'm now getting detection error on storage device(m.2)

but im thinking this might be a good sign.

I might have knackered the ssd from bios update but if the computer works with a replacement ssd then thats better than not working at all and now its looking at the ssd for i presume an operating system, means that maybe the bios is now ok?

ill work on this next and see what happens. Will let you know.

Thank you Peste - ive a got glimmer of hope here

MSD Flea -thanks for your suggestion (dont know if my email was sent to you)

I got my computer to boot from an external drive running windows 10 which is great. so i may try:-

- and flash to a newer bios as suggested by SMD Flea -which worries me now -its why im here in the first place but i guess i know how to recover it now.

- otherwise see if the ssd can be recovered in some way (it doesnt show up in windows 10 which im running from the external hard drive)

- or buy another one for about £33

whatever happens i dont have a brick at the moment

thanks for all your help. I would love to know what you did with the bios ie how to fix it myself in case i got in the same position again - i feel like i was helpless with that bit - or at least push me in the direction of a tutorial if there is one -or web page-but otherwise no problem

thanks

Re: Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 14282 Bios

If its working fine now and you`re worried about flashing the bios again then leave it as-is .

Re: Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 14282 Bios

I can run this from an external drive now. Can't get it to recognise the m2 ssd even though it has the most up to date bios and IME.

I know the m2 ssd works on another compter and i also tried a new m2 ssd with no luck. Ive reseated it and cleaned all the contacts etc. No luck

My last thought was to remember this all happened not with a bios update but when the computer was updating the intel management. So might this be corrupt?

SMDFlea -is the bios bin you gave me (which works) fixed because you cleaned the IME?

If so then I guess I'm stuck and I will probably replace the motherboard as booting externally is a pain in the bum.

Otherwise I might try and clean it although im not sure which firmware to use.

If im now posting in the wrong place I apologise.

Any help is always gratefully received
