Hello Serg008, Is there any other way that I can add an SLIC 2.1 table or activate Windows 7 in this case? Thank you

THINKPAD E545 BRICKED -- PLEASE HELP! Hi Folks, I just bricked my Thinkpad Edge_E545 while attempting to update the BIOS from 1.09 to 1.12. I tried to use a bootable CD, and it seemed to go well, but when it seemed to be done, I got contradictory instructions to either remove the CD and power off or leave the CD in and reboot. I left the CD in the drive and pressed ENTER. The screen went blank, and stayed that way, with no discernable activity. At some point I held the power button to shut it off. That was the last I saw anything on the screen. Anyhow, I'm trying to use some instructions to prepare a bootable USB stick with the firmware to flash on it. stick preparation (on Win2008R2 system): 1) zero'd a USB stick (2GB) 2) used WINCRIS.EXE to format the stick (pointed it at the v1.12 "BIOS.WPH") 3) unplugged and replugged stick 4) copied MINIDOS.SYS, PHLASH16.EXE and BIOS.WPH to the top directory of the new filesystem on the stick 5) "safefly removed" the stick reflashing: 1) disconnected battery and power cable 2) plugged in stick (tried all 4 USB jacks, 2x full and 2x SS) 3) pressed and held FN and B keys (also tried FN+R, FN+ESC) 4) pressed power button none of the above had any observable effect. The USB stick is never accessed. I even tried disconnecting the CMOS battery before an attempt -- no change. Does anyone have a hint about how to reflash trashed firmware on this laptop? cheers, Rob
