Entering the Bios Mod World - Need Help Recovering [ T440s ] :)
#1
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 Smile

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?

or

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
