Thinkpad s230u Bios , help pls

[moustafasamir]

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
