T440p bricked after bios update


Oakland

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I just bought secondhand Thinkpad T440p (it's my first TP)

and having a problem.

 

I just downloaded firmware update from lenovo and executed on windows 7.
(https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/gluj39us.exe)

 

However, after the update probram restarts T440p, my T440p goes bricked.

 

(Only power led and one blink on keyboard lights)

 

I just tried to get info. how to flash by SPI Programmer (CH341A), but I couldn't.

 

There seems to be any modification on .FL1 file by binary editor.

(I just found info. of E330 - https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-11e-Windows-13-E-and/E330-BIOS-black-screen/m-p/3391227/highlight/true#M25720)

 

 

Can anybody help to flash T440p by SPI Programmer?

 

 

Best Regards,

It looks there's no need to modify the bios file - as size of file is abt. 4 MB.

 

I will update progress on monday. (CH341A arrives the day)

 

 

// other guy dump file is exactly 4MB (4096KB), but FL1 file is over 4MB(4797KB)

- need to be modified.

 

But I have no idea. waiting for someone help this matter...
