Description

BIOS dump for the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 laptop, board number 17821-2M from Wistron, supplied for a 2 MB flash chip. The uploader marked it as tested, though that label comes from the uploader and has not been independently checked. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision on your motherboard match before flashing, and back up the original chip contents first. The archive is a RAR file of about 5.9 MB.
