you are confusing the BIOS and the EC-ROM.
The BIOS Update package from Lenovo contains a file called *.FL1. It contains the EC-ROM. In order to generate a flashable image for the EC-ROM you need to cut off the first 32 bytes from the FL1-file and then expand it to the desired size with 0xFF.
The BIOS Update package from Lenovo contains also a FL2-file. This contains portions of the BIOS but it is not sufficient to generate a flashable image for the BIOS....

The output of the load switch is 0V.
Resistance to GND is 550 Ohm (my reference board also shows 550 Ohm).
UT2 gets 20V at Pin 31 (VBUS_IN).
I checked the soldering from all four sides using a microscope. It looked ok.Last edited by rumpumpel1; 08-10-2025, 06:26 AM.Leave a comment:

ThinkPad E14 Gen 4 AMD NM-E501 dead
I have an E14 Gen 4 AMD that shows no signs of life.
When connected to the charger the board initially drew 30 mA at 10 V.
The thermocamera showed a hot spot at one edge of the PD controller. I therefore replaced the PD controller, after which the board drew 5 mA at 20 V.
Further investigation revealed that the power switch UT5 (NX20P5090UK) was not activated. The EN# signal is missing. This is supposed to be generated by the PD controller.
From then on I started using the battery instead of the charger.
With the battery the main power rail V9B+ is present...
