Bricked Lenovo E530 during BIOS update
#1
Hi, new user here.
I was updating my bios from Windows 10 with the lenovo tool but it rebooted to a black screen and when i forcefully rebooted (unplug power after 1h of black screen) the screen stayed black. (still didn't know what caused the brick, i had battery power and AC plugged)

I tried the fn+b / fn+win method using wincrisis to create a bootable USB (from another computer with windows 10) but the USB drive never blinked while turning on the laptop, i never got it to read it. (tried a 1GB drive and a 4GB drive but made no difference).
.
I am now stuck, what should i try?

Mmmh i see. Thanks for the reply.
Would you be kind and link me a how-to guide to perform the flash? I think i have a SPI programmer somewhere buried in the garage.

Is there a repository where i can download the rom that has to be flashed? Or do i extract it from the lenovo-provided bios file? Thanks for the patience Angel
Ooops i've seen too late the PM you sent me, feel free to delete this reply.
