      Which file do you mean? Each model has a different bios file, some 8MB, some 12MB, 16MB, 24MB, 32MB, 64MB...

                    Flash this file to see if your device will work again or have additional damage.

                      Hello, I don't think the BIOS is the problem, just like every newer Lenovo, the capacitors and resistors are very close to the chip.

                      We don't know how the BIOS was read out with a clip or by de soldering the chip.

                      The experienced users in this forum will de solder all the chips in order not to damage anything.

                      With the clip, resistors are all too likely to be damaged and then nothing works anymore.

                      See also the two sample images.

                        It was soldered out to program. I will have a look if there is any moved components. Thanks for advice

                            So thank you guys for help . Really happy with that. I checked all morning mb on google with pictures and find there was missing one resistor next to bios . So now laptop works just need try to flash another bios to get rid of password, hope i will get it sorted. Sorry guys i know im new , have skills to solder but im not programming that much and it’s something new for me .

                                    Hello just for understanding in no ThinkPad BIOS is stored a password can always be found in the MEC chip.
