    If the motherboard is LCFC YODA-2 NM-B481 it is U184

    No worries. Do you know what the chip would be called/labeled on the schematic at all if I manage to find one.

    TBT assist was disabled. I have enabled it and tested it, still the same issue (I presume it is better to be enabled). Just to double check this is the correct chip?

    Go into bios settings and check if TBT assist is enabled or not. Backup the current TBT firmware , use a new chip. The firmware at post 1 needs padding out to 1MB using a hex editor.

    Yes, tried multiple monitors with different cables. Port looks perfectly fine, no signs of liquid damage at all. Tried the TBT update on Lenovo and tried installing multiple times with multiple restarts but still no luck.

    I`m assuming you checked with another cable, looked at the port closely for bent or damaged pins etc. Find the TBT update at lenovo support and try that before flashing anything else.

    What is the difference between the TBT.bin and AssistTBT.bin? I have a CH341a on the way but what exactly do I need to do, flash the winbond chip with one of these padded out files?

    Also the only issue I have is no HDMI, this is the correct fix right?

    Lenovo ThinkPad X1C6 thunderbolt firmware request
    by TamFishe
    Hi there, I have a ThinkPad X1C6 which I got cheap from a friend as I've mentioned before if you decide on checking my profile, but it has issues, including both the bios and thunderbolt firmware bricked. So far, I got a 20KG bios from indiafix, however, I still haven't figured out how to fix the thunderbolt firmware issue ( I feel like mentioning that I've never worked with FL1 and FL2 files or with any Lenovo product and I'd wish to not brick something beyond repair. ). Can someone with this same model of laptop give me a thunderbolt dump of the chip (Winbond W25Q80 ONLY) and compare my dump...
