Hi, I hope someone can help me with my problem. I tried o update bios to Lenovo T530 type 2392-38G because it appeared a message that "battery not fit for this model" . I downloaded bios update from official site. After 2nd restart I didn't have image on screen and all leds went off, I let it for 15 minutes on and nothing happened.
This is the link for bios update I used:
http://support.lenovo.com/ro/ro/products...s/DS029246
I managed to recover some files from HDD, I think there are back-up for old bios, there is a $01D5100.FL1 file of 8.4MB and $01D5100.FL2 of 12.7MB.
Please help me with a bios file, I can use a programmer to write on bios chipset.
Thank you.
Hi mate,
I can say that into the Original Bios We can find only the Bios Region and It's 4096 KB so I can give
my files about version A2 (2.62) then We have to replace your DMI Data into !
If You get the Tools (SPI PGM + Clip) then read both Eeprom Chips on MoBo . . .

MX25L6405D ID:0xC22017 Size: 8192KB (65536Kb)
MX25L3205D ID:0xC22016 Size: 4096KB (32768Kb)
And upload the Full Dump Firmware here and I will check about It !
Let me know
Regards

Thank you for your help. I had read chipsets with GQ-4X and here are the results. I hope you can help me further and also maybe you can help me with battery problem (I guess is also a bios problem).
Hi again.
Thanks for your help, unfortunately it didn't work with the file you sent me. However I managed to find a solution: after hours of search on this site I have found a post of delta9 user where it was a backup.bin file attached. I wrote that file into MX25L3206 with a programmer and it worked! After that I tried to read SPI chipsets with backup_tools 12.2 and I got an error "Failed to disable write protection for the BIOS space". So, I patched the backup.bin as you described in the same post (
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-R...val?page=3) and re-write MX25L3206 with the programmer. Now I have 5 beeps -pause-5 beeps at start (I understand that if I disable Security chip I will not have this problem) and a lot of features unlocked in BIOS. However, it didn't solve the problem with the battery, "the battery instaled is not supported and will not charge", I don't know if I have to modify something in ACPI Features from BIOS. Any ideas?

How did you flash a working bios? I have the same problem as you, but no clue how I am going to get a new biso on my T420...
