this might have a corrupted ec region.
The notebook has a black screen for 30 secs before it boots and the standby mode doesn't work. In bios the line "ME Firmware Version" is blank.
Hi, I have a ThinkPad T460p 20FW with SN: PF0Q8303
The board is: BT463 NM-A611 REV 1
The problem I have is that any time the machine should reboot it just shuts down and after a second the power button flashes 3 times and goes off. Same thing if I exit bios settings.
Thinking it might be a bios issue, I saved a dump of the bios and tried to update with the most recent update using the -sp switch because the battery does not hold a charge. It went to the black screen showing it was updating the bios, but when I went back later the device was off and would not power on. I have reflashed the original bios and have it working, but the bios update does not have a .bin file, but a few .pat files, and in another follder a .fl1 and .fl2 which combined are not as big as the bios dump.
I am also unsure how to tell where the beginnging and end of the DMI section are in this bios even though I've found both the serial and Win product key.

Sorry, I just realized I wasn't clear about what I'm needing. Can someone provide a bios dump I can use to test, with the DMI imformation added to it. Or, if someone could tell me what to look for to find the start of the DMI in this type of BIOS so I know what to do in the future?
Can anyone at least tell me if the bios posted in post #8 in this thread should work on my board? My board is a different Lenovo part # than that request and I different CPU (same generation), but same board number.
