Hello fellow humans!

I was updating my BIOS and then the power cut out and the laptop turned off and after that it only turns on the light on the lenovo logo and the fans spin up (the screen remains black). After some research I found that ThinkPads support a feature called a BIOS reflash or BIOS flashback but it isn't very well documented. I also read in a post that a specific name is required for a flashback to start so can anyone tell me how to get the recovery file name for a BIOS reflash for my Laptop?

Any help will be appreciated!

Re: ThinkPad 13 Gen 2 BIOS recovery using USB




I don't have the CH341a or a backup but I do have a .bin file of my laptop's bios should I upload it here?...

Hello fellow humans!

I want to recover my ThinkPad 13 Gen 2 (20J2) using a USB Drive. Does anyone have experience doing this and if they do can they please list the steps required? This would be a huge help.

I am also considering doing it the hard way (Flash using a CH341a) if I can't recover the laptop using this method and for that I will require a .BIN file which I have downloaded of this forum. If I do the BIOS flash using this method is there any way to keep my windows key and the serial number?

Thanks advance for any help/guidance that you can...
