[Request] Lenovo V520s sff unit bios support for QQLT cpu
I have the unit, got the bios file from lenovo website extracted, try to open it up with Coffeetime but it says error.
Converted to .bin, .rom with uefitool.
Same result.

Post a screenshot of Mainboard tab of CPU-Z.
Explain exactly what happens when you try to boot with new CPU.

1. Download Intel ME System Tools v11 and unpack
2. Go to Intel ME System Tools v11\Flash Programming Tool\WIN64
3. Run in the command line with administrative rights and save results:
fptw64 -desc -d desc.bin
fptw64 -bios -d bios.bin
Zip and attach desc.bin and bios.bin
4. Then go to Intel ME System Tools v11\MEInfo\WIN64
5. Run MEInfoWin64 in command line with administrative rights and show results.

Install suitable ME-drivers or use MEInfo in native DOS.
