Description

BIOS dump for the Lenovo Z50 laptop, supplied as a single 8 MB BIN file (original name LENOVO_Z50_BIOS_main_cuted.bin) intended for an 8 MB flash chip. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. The facts do not list a board number or revision, so confirm the board identification on your own hardware before flashing. Back up the original chip contents first, so you can restore them if the write goes wrong.

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 Z50. 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.
