    Hi,

    If someone (TTAV134, Yen?) could enlighten me how to restore the original Bios to my Thinkpad X201 (Windows 7 X64). If I use the standard Lenovo updater (Bios version 1.32), I get a messagebox telling me that an update is not necessary as I am already running the latest version. I still have the original bios.bak which was created when I updated to TTAV134's latest version whitelist bios.

    Thanks.

    dont use the backuped bios

    edit PHLASH.INI

    [UI]
    Advanced=1

    Upon opening the WinPhlash (32 or 64 bit), click "Advanced Settings" then check and uncheck the boxes so it looks like this:

    ("Flags" Tab):
    [ ] Verify BIOS part number
    [ ] Flash only if BIOS version is different
    [ ] Flash only if BIOS version is newer
    [ ] Verify BIOS image size
    [ ] Verify BIOS checksum
    [ ] Zero block before erasing
    [x] Verify block after programming
    [x] Disable Axx swaping automatic detection (if present)
    [ ] Clear CMOS Checksum

    thanks for the speedy answer, but to make sure I am doing nothing to stupid, which file to I choose to upgrade? C:\DRIVERS\FLASH\6quj10us\6QET62WW\... Do I still have to tick not to upgrade DMI? WinPhlash64 asks me to load a file with extensions rom, ro2, wph, wp2, which are nowhere to be found in the extracted directories.
