    Need a Fixed Bios for Thinkpad E590

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E590, after a bit of tinkering with macOS and OpenCore (Hackintosh) i did a NVRAM reset (without thinking).

    Now my laptop won't boot anymore ….. After the Reset, Only The Power button LED, Numpad LED and Capslock LED came on and stayed on.

    I have the following Hardware
    Lenovo ThinkPad E590
    Mainboard : NM-B911 Rev 1.0
    Type : 20NB-S05300
    SN: PF-1NW94Y 19/04
    Intel Core i7 8565U
    Intel UHD 620
    32GB DDR4 Ram

    I Tried Multiple Clear Me Bios from this Forum (Also did a backup of my Bios before doing this)

    But now the Only thing that's happening is hat the Power LED goes on for a few seconds then goes of this repeats 2 times and after that the LED stays on.

    Can maybe someone repair my Bios Dump or send me one that i can Flash back and my Laptop boots after that ?

    I use a CH341A Programmer.

    Thank you and sorry for my Bad English

                    Hi kaykun,

                    what is the bios version of your new chip? I want to try also for my laptop, I believe we have the same model.

                          Hello. I have Lenovo E590, 20NB-0012XS, NM-B911 rev 2.0. After reflash with older version (using exe), I can't power it on (just some led flashing like op described). Tried some versions from this forum, but still nothing, only the power button led turns on and that's all. Think the bios is W, but not sure.
                          The conf is i7 8565U with radeon.

                          Any suggestions? Can someone please share dump (or bin) of current version (1.33)?

                              This is what I managed to extract with flashrom and rpi (verified it extracting it multiple times) before trying any other image.
                              I was trying to solve a hw issue so I picked this old bios for some good old binary search..

                              Also note that I'm little worried of sharing bios dump online, so I at least x-ed out windows key (can I just edit it in after, or do I need to use uefitool to correct checksum?).

                                  Thank you, you're great. I've some duties rn, but will let you know asap.

                                  You've any theories why for kaykun, only the new chip worked? Was thinking about ordering some spare winbonds..

                                  Do you think the problem could be in the ec? Is it loaded/flashed from the bios, or would I need to flash it separately (and disassemble the whole thing, argh)? But found a local company and they claim they can flash also that, but that would be last resort.

                                      No luck . Only the power button led flashes and then stays on, but nothing happens. Not even the screen backlight turns on. I don't think I'll be able to flash the EC.
