Hi mate,
Try before only using the Bios Region file so the W25Q32BV.bin.patched then
if You get issue write the Descriptor + ME Region too W25Q64BV.bin !
I gave both to help You !
Let me know

Ok mate,
This is the Bios Update Lenovo Site link :

http://support.lenovo.com/it/it/products...s/DS032000

There is the Bios for your Laptop ?
I cannot get any information without a Bios Backup or version or more informations !
But I know that all these Laptops have same Bios (Firmware) so I think the real issue
is on Service
Please let me know the Eerpom Chips name that are on MoBo (if possible to get photo's MoBo)
I will reply quickly !
Regards

Ok Mate,

These are the Eeprom Chips :

--- Flash Devices Found ---
W25Q64BV ID:0xEF4017 Size: 8192KB (65536Kb)
W25Q32BV ID:0xEF4016 Size: 4096KB (32768Kb)

Here is the Schematics Manual (read to page 12) :

http://kythuatphancung.vn/download/lenov...atics.html

It's described the eeprom Chips and enumerate so their size too :



There are named as . . .

U5 = WinBond W25Q64FVSSIG = 8192 KB
U2202 = W25Q32BVSSIG = 4096 KB

So I saw them on left side down under the Chipset . . .




If I remember well I gave two Firmware files and the size Match with my research !!!
So I will conclude with that . . .  Service guys are not good technicians
Let me know
Regards

Hi mate,
You have to check if your MoBo has these two Eeprom Chips !!!
I looked better the Pic (I cannot read anything on chips) and found that It's the
CPU and not the Chipset that one I labeled as Chipset (I think It is on down side)
but these near the CPU seem to be the Eeprom Chips !
So read the name on chips and the name on MoBo and look if They match with

U5 = WinBond W25Q64FVSSIG = 8192 KB
U2202 = W25Q32BVSSIG = 4096 KB

Look here too (DUAL SOIC 8 PINS CHIPS) :

As your photos are not defined and I cannot read any name

I would to get your confirmation as i haven't saw this Motherboard and there are many
revision :

Lenovo ThinkPad Twist S230u Motherboard iNTEL i7 Planner 04X0734 - 04Y1524 - 04X0732
lenovo thinkpad twist s230u motherboard la-8671p 04y1530

These revisions are based all to same project so far and I would get your confirmation
(to be sure for the future) please !
Let me know
Regards

P.S. make a photo with a higher definition and make a down side too please !!!
