Description

From the original post:
LENOVO THINKCENTER M70Q 2MB & 8MB & 16MB WORKING BIOS 100% IQ4X0IL1

BIOS dump for the Lenovo ThinkCenter M70Q, supplied for 2 MB, 8 MB and 16 MB flash chips in one RAR archive of about 4.7 MB. The uploader marks it as tested, but that is their claim and has not been checked here. Technicians use a BIOS dump to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or a failed update. The caption lists the code IQ4X0IL1, so confirm it matches your board's identification before flashing. Back up the original chip contents first.

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: LENOVO THINKCENTER M70Q 2MB & 8MB & 16MB 100%. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
