can you make a test with this new package (using a modified $01C8000.FL2) flash with winflash.exe and upload the resulting log files, thanks
I donwloaded T43p-1YET65WW_SLIC2.1_no_1802_no_2010.iso to patch the bios of my T43 Type 2668-4NG. At the end of the flashing process I got a red error screen and the message "Undefined error nr. -28640". PC still boots ok. No operational problems so far. Is this normal? Tx and regards Rudi
the proof that it was not a good idea to use $01C8000.FL2 as a template. There is no known recovery method for EFI phoenix bios for the moment. Lenovo support is the only way.
Can we make a bootable CD? In this CD, I modify autoexec.bat to auto execute re-write a good bios file? do you have any idea? thanks rtf0
I try to recovery my corrupted BIOS of T420, but no luck. What I did is like the following steps: I made a Boot-able thumb drive using wincrsis in your package after I format my 1G thumb drive. Then I did the following steps: 1) remove power adapter and battery of T420. 2) plug in thumb drive mentioned above into left side USB port. 3) hold pressing Fn + B always 4) plug in power adapter and power on T420 5) LEDs are on (blue-tooth, volume, CapsLK), then LEDs are off (Volume, CapsLK) 6) CPU Fan is noisy after 10 seconds 7) LED of Volume is On again after 5 seconds 8) Power off by itself after seconds. After I checked it, it still not working
@TTAV134: I want to use your "T43p-1YET65WW_SLIC2.1_no_1802_no_2010.iso" for my T43-7668-44U Thinkpad, just to solve the 2010 disk error. Will it cause any problems with my existing OEM Windows XP Pro activation/validation? In other words, does this mod preserve the original SLP1.0 that was in the IBM 1.29 BIOS (which is my current BIOS)? I can't find any confirmation of this after a lot of searching. Also the iso image doesn't include the ph161700.exe file executed in the bat file. Is the iso corrupted? I got it off the link in this thread. Thanks for your help.
Ok, I'll open this up to anybody who has fixed their BIOS for the T43 2010 disk error: I see that a lot of you reported successful use of Win7 on this machine, but has anybody tried the "T43p-1YET65WW_SLIC2.1_no_1802_no_2010.iso" on a T43 with an original IBM factory install of Windows XP Pro? If so, did you have any trouble with Windows activation/validation afterward? Thanks in advance.
