Description
BIOS dump for the Lenovo ThinkPad T495 laptop, Compal board NM-C131, platform FA495, PCB revision 1.0. The uploader marked it as tested, though that is their own claim and not something we have checked. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision on your motherboard match NM-C131 and revision 1.0 before flashing, and read out and save the original chip contents first so you can recover if something goes wrong.
The catalog also lists 1 schematic and 1 BIOS dump for board NM-C131.
