Entering the Bios Mod World - Need Help Recovering [ T440s ] :)

[NuclearKommando]

Hello everyone, this is my first post, and thanks to my failed bios update, I found this frickin amazing site!

This kind of stuff gets me excited, ready to learn what it is all about

Before I move further and dive deep, 

I need a little help recovering my T440s corrupted bios

So far I have followed the steps & used the Phoenix/WINCRIS tool on my FAT formatted 4gb flash drive

I have attempted to pull the bios file which seemed to be the "[0]" file that is 6,019 KB from here:

https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/gjuj28us.exe
I am not sure which one it is, maybe someone can help verify

If I install it, these are the contents: https://gyazo.com/f13d08edb611fac8eebc89475c08f50e
Hope this helps

Plug in the USB, tried with and without battery with pluged AC

Tried Fn+B, Win+B, Fn+R while holding down the power button

So far no results, all I get with or without holding the buttons is some hissing noise coming from the speakers

Also note that when I power it on regularly it only flashes the keyboard black lights once, and the fan does not spin, on hissing noise from the speakers
I got 2 choices, learn something new and recover it with your help or order one of those programmed bios chips from ebay

I would really appreciate the help, and plan to eventually pass on the knowledge to others on this  forum

Thank You

Hi
BIOS recovery is only possible with the help of SPI-programmer + clip

Hey thanks for replying, kind of confused,
https://www.bios-mods.com/bios-recovery/...-recovery/

Doesn't that fix corrupt bios ?

I don't mind buying an SPI Programmer & Clip,
Which one do you suggest?

Thanks again

Also,

What is a good way to check and confirm the file I extracted is the bios WPH?

Hi NuclearKommando, did you have any success regarding your T440s? I do also have a problem and suspect the bios chip. I get 2x5 beeps but no bootup or reaction afterwards.

I am not sure though if the T440s has a phoenix bios and the reply of dodu2002 is also confusing me.

Thanks
