    Lenovo/IBM T400 MLB3I-7 BIOS BIN DUMP REQUEST

    Hello guys,

    I really need a working BIOS dump for ThinkPad T400 (motherboard no.: MLB3I-7, so it's the version with integrated graphics).

    Thanks for your help!

    Due to a lack of donations, server free space at a critical level, and possible closure of Bios Requests all donations are welcome, click:

    >>>>> https://www.badcaps.net/index.php?pageid=donate1 <<<<<

    Every donation made will go towards server fees and maintenance costs.

      Thanks for your help. Sadly, no luck.

      With the original BIOS the issue was the following: when the board recieved power, it did "power on". The CPU got hot, but there was no display on internal or external monitor, or no beeps.

      With this bios: Only the charger LED light up. Pressing the power button does nothing.

      Any idea?

        UPDATE: I found an R400 bios ROM on the internet. After falshing it, the machine DOES power on, and I can access the BIOS, reset to default settings etc. But it still not boot from an HDD since it hangs with just a cursor. It also spends a lot of time with "Intel ME unconfiguration in progress..."

        So I think it's still a BIOS related issue.

        I attached both my original BIOS, and the R400 one I flashed...

          THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED: the issue was the BIOS battery. If you need BIOS dump for this machine, download the file I posted and use the one for ThinkPad R400 (NOT T400!).
