    thank you Johnny on the spot

    I have posted a warning at the link... and if others have no faith in me they can CHOOSE to not use any bios I post... I am whole-heartedly sorry that this did not work for you... but if SLRVision39 is right, you two could have chose the wrong bios... i copy/paste all my bios descriptions straight from the lenovo website and link to where i found them... it is your responsibility to double-check as it is your computer and potentially your loss

    I see this is your first post... you have said nothing up to this point of this bios not working, you waited untill someone else failed to post this... this is what you contribute to the world

    This is why we write: Please report results.

    as i previously stated, I am currently retired from bios modding:
    "i assumed that all people that could find this site had a certain minimal competence, could understand the way in which the forum was organized, and was willing to read before posting
    i was very wrong"

    Good point. This could have been easily prevented!
    And obviously the modders here don't have the resources to test every bios they release, so we must accept the risk involved or learn to do it ourselves.

    As I said before, I tried to flash 7kuj27us - I thought that is the right bios for my machine. But the right official bios 7ouj15us - it flashed without a questions. I don't know what lenovo playin' but in fact we have what we have.

    In waiting for usb floppy then will try to recover.

    hey guys

    just wanted you to know something
    got my hands on T400S today, ran RW Everything on it and it already has SLIC 2.1, so you can mark it on the first page as one that already comes with SLIC 2.1 from the manufacturer.

    if you ask me about the T400S, its so GORGEOUS!
    i really wanna replace my T61 with T400S :p
