Hi,
I bought a dead Lenovo Thinkpad T440P recently. It sounded an error message of 5 beeps, pause, 5 beeps. A BIOS flash to a BIOS downloaded from Lenovo via external SPI programmer fixed it (I dumped and reflashed the 4mb chip).
I have now found that the machine doesn’t have a Windows key attached to it, but I am unsure if it was somehow corrupted, or if it wasn’t present to begin with.
I was wondering if anyone could extract the Windows product key from the original corrupted BIOS if it’s present, or repair the corrupted BIOS so that Windows can be activated? I am unsure of the version of the original corrupted BIOS. I have attached the original corrupted BIOS, and a copy of the current working BIOS, both dumped via SPI.
Thanks!
Can anyone help with this?
