    Hi,
    Any chance you can re-upload the bios LENOVO_ThinkStation-S10-LENOVO-2WKT47A.rar as the link is not working anymore?
    Thanks

    Make a DOS bootable Floppy/or USB stick/, boot from it and flash bios.
    /read manual for flashing procedure/

    I tried that already with a DOS bootable USB stick, which does not work with BIOSUPTP.EXE.

    Also it will not fit on a floppy disk that I do have, I tried that too as the all the files are ~3MB combinded.

    I see you have created two new files with are the same size. Yet both of those are larger than the original BIOS file which is called $01A0000.FL1 and is only 729 KB in size.

    Is it going to brick my system if I force the larger 1,029 KB files? Which one of these files below is meant to be flashed from the modded BIOS, ?

    $01A0000.FL1 = 797 KB created on 27/02/2007
    $01A0000.ROM = 1,029 KB created on 8/07/2011
    $01A0000_SLIC.ROM = 1,029 KB created on 8/07/2011

    Rename $01A0000_SLIC.ROM to SLIC.ROM and try:

    1. from Windows
    run BIOSUPTP.EXE and select SLIC.ROM

    2. from DOS
    phlash16.exe /x /cs SLIC.ROM

    Add.
    $01A0000.FL1 - original bios
    $01A0000.ROM - non modified, unpacked bios (by Andy's Phoenixtool)
    $01A0000_SLIC.ROM - modified with Slic 2.1 bios

    BIOSUPTP.EXE - Windows application

    I renamed $01A0000_SLIC.ROM to SLIC.ROM, and then from a DOS bootable flash stick I used phlash16.exe /x /cs SLIC.ROM

    The Phoenix Phlash16 Utility starts, performs the following functions as listed below, and displays an error:

    Phoenix Phlash16 Error: BIOS ROM file may be corrupt (Extended checksum not zero) PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT

    1. Loads Image file (SLIC.ROM) = tick
    2. Verify interface information = tick
    3. Backup system BIOS ROM = .

    Thank you for your time and effort, but it seems this one may have failed, unless you have an extra trick up your sleeve?

    1. Try from Windows with BIOSUPTP.EXE.
    2. Try from DOS : phlash16.exe /x /s SLIC.ROM
