    lenovo b50-50 bios file name

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to recover a corrupted bios on lenovo b50-50 laptop. After spending hours searching google I think I'm fairly familiar with how the USB recovery process works. What I can't find is to what the file name should be changed to so it gets recognised when booting from USB.

    I have the andy's editing tool but I don't really know how to use it apart from loading the bios file. Can you point me in the right direction as to how to find the bios file name please?

    The file i currently have is called Lenovo CG410CG510 NM-A681 Rev 1.0.bin and it does matches what's etched on the motherboard.

    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

      Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
      by Forest79
      Hello,

      I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
      The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

      However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

      Unable to extract bios file from Lenovo bios exectuable
      by survivalbloke
      I'm trying to extract a flashable bios file(ch341a) from the lenovo bios executable download. I have tried the instructions from this site https://starkeblog.com/lenovo/uefi/2...pdate-exe.html, which are not working. According to those instructions, after issuing the command
      Code:
      "innoextract 7wcn38ww.exe"
      it should create an \app folder, inside which, I should find a newly created "7wcn38ww.exe" file. I should then be able to extract that using 7zip and find my .FD file.

      The trouble I'm having is that I'm not getting the newly...

      Help to get Lenovo BIOS bin file for Thinkpad T560
      by maanee11
      Hello Everyone,

      I have Thinkpad T560 Which has corrupted BIOS. I have acquired Ch341A SPI flasher to program the BIOS externally. I see that to program the BIOS, i need a bin file for the BIOS. I was able to extract the .exe file of BIOS from Lenovo given here in this link:

      https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/p...me=BIOS%2FUEFI

      In the extracted files, I see that BIOS containing file has extension .FL1 and I need to extract or convert it...

      Unable to extract Lenovo BIOS file from installer
      by survivalbloke
      I'm working on a Lenovo LOQ 15APH8, Serial# MP2L9MAV. I want to flash a new BIOS onto it, but I'm also trying to learn this process for my own enrichment and professional development.

      I was watching some tutorials, copying the serial info blocks from the old bios to a new bios. Before that though, they use innoextract on the Lenovo .exe. I downloaded Innoextract v1.9 but it tells me my .exe is not a supported inno setup installer(see screenshot). So if I unpack this using 7zip, I do get a .ROM file, but according to my tutorials, I'm looking for a .FD file.

      How can...

      Bricked Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 Need BIOS file for FN+R Crisis recovery
      by pcwhiz24
      Model: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 81W0
      S/N: PF2BZS7D

      I was having issues with this particular laptop where the NVME SSD would disappear and would not detect unless I took it out and reconnected it, then it would detect for only for a minute then disappear from BIOS. I figured updating the BIOS was worth a try so I booted into my HBCD USB and downloaded the latest BIOS file for that exact model. I ran the executable and everything went smooth, it beeped and then when it restarted, now it won't post, just black screen with fan spinning.

      I already have a CH341A programmer...
