Images within show errors, but there is still a bios file, so fingers crossed.

Ok friend,
try this one, follow instructions to flash It from USB Dos Stick, run flash.bat :

Thanks, but getting error 28.

Some other posts experiencing it had success with a different batch file? What can I change to give that version a go?

This laptop came preinstalled with Win8, Lenovo's support site lists 62cn40ww as a 'windows 7 bios' (I used to think BIOS' were OS independant, but having seen how much Win8 integration is in this and how much hassle i had taking that OS off, maybe not anymore...). On the off chance that some Win8 bastardness is to blame for locking this, think it'd be worth a try flashing first to that then either trying your supplied one or giving you a backup from that version?

Thanks for the help so far.

Boot from your USB Stick prepared to Flash Bios and when You are in Dos C:\
try to execute manualy the batch comands :

1. Prr.exe (hit enter key)

2. fpt -f bios.bin -bios (hit enter key)

Ok friend, I saw the screen shot of Prr.exe !
As I said time ago manufacturrs are locking all :

1. Eeprom Memory Write Protect error 28 or 280 (not bypassable)
2. Removing Recovery Procedure

We have only SPI External USB Propgrammer with POMONA Soic Clip to reflash new Bioses (It's not expansive but We ave dismount the laptop) !
I am sorry

No probs, thanks anyway. Oddly I can't even use Lenovo's own BIOS upgrade. Going to try reinstalling Win8 (which is a challenge in itself), then seeing if i can reflash a different Len BIOS from there.

I assume that simply putting your BIOS image into lenovo's flash util won't work?
