Well I suppose the two threads here were for two different things; general help request for bios problem, and a [REQUEST] for a bios dump for this specific model of laptop.
I was inspired by this post. Of all the BIOS forums I’ve ventured to, there was a high level of technical experience shown on that thread. I have been getting great help from Badcaps, especially from SMDFlea, but so far I haven’t been able to find a bios dump specifically from a Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2 Type 20QV with motherboard LPM-2 18809-2. I’m at the end of the road at Badcaps in terms of getting help and I wanted to see if there is anyone here who might be able further assist.
My situation is very similar, if not identical, to this post. You may have an answer to my overarching question: Can a bootable BIOS be made with what’s available from Lenovo’s BIOS update executable? Is there a way to create a proper BIOS, perhaps with Intel Flash Image Tool, without a full BIOS backup or dump to work with?
