Description

This is a BIOS dump file, delivered as a RAR archive of about 2.8 MB, originally named "LenovoThinkpad E49 .rar". The facts do not list a board number, revision, chip size or any cleaning flags, so the exact motherboard it targets is not confirmed here. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, match the board number and revision on your own motherboard against the source post, and save a full backup of the original chip contents first.

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: LenovoThinkpad E49. 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.
