Bricked Lenovo G580 (20150) UEFI need suggestions
#1
Step 1: Don't ignore flashing warnings. I got a message about the BIOS being smaller than the normal size, and it will truncate. I think I had a bad download. Ignore warning because I've breezed through this plenty of times before. Oops.

Anyway, I've tried using WINCRISIS and various other methods to revive this machine via USB stick. The system powers on, and the cd-rom makes a noise, but nothing happens. If I do Fn+R or Fn+B, plug in and press power... the fan goes full speed, and the cd-rom makes a noise. My USB drive has a light on it, but it never lights up so I assume it's not being accessed. I've left the system run for 30mins or more and nothing happens.

Do I have any other options? I have a hard time getting the BIOS extracted from Lenovo, but I was able to run the exe on my main PC which froze it.. however after rebooting I was able to get the .WPH from my TEMP folder.

BIOS: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mob...7ww_64.exe
The WPH is: 62CN40WW.WPH and it is 4096KB

Anyone tried to recover this? The laptop was a refurb and it's basically garbage (Core i3, Win 8 UEFI) but if I can save it I'd like to.

Unfortunately the G580/Z580 has no bios recovery.

You have 2 options

1. Buy external SPI HW programmer to program BIOS chip

2. Replace motherboard

I figured this was the case. Thank you for the tip! Hopefully this will help someone else via Google Search.
