Description

From the original post:
THINKPAD X1 LMQ-1 12298-2 16MB WORKING BIOS 100%

BIOS dump for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 LMQ-1 laptop, board number 12298-2, built by Wistron and supplied for a 16 MB flash chip. The uploader marks it as tested, though that is their claim rather than a verified result. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision match your board, and save the original chip contents as a backup first.

The catalog also lists 2 schematics, 1 boardview file, and 19 BIOS dumps for board 12298-2.

Questions about this file

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 ThinkPad X1 LMQ-1 12298-2. 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.
