Description

BIOS dump for the Lenovo ThinkPad E480 laptop, board NM-B421 revision 1.0 (platform LCFC, Compal design), supplied as a RAR archive of about 4.8 MB. The file is named for the E480 and E580 as well, so check the board number and revision against your own board before use. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or a failed update. Back up the original chip contents first, since a write cannot be undone without that copy.

For board NM-B421 the catalog also has 2 schematics, 3 boardview files, and 8 BIOS dumps.
