    Hello.
    The Windows BIOS upgrade isn't OS specific, it runs on all OS's between XP-Win8.1, even if it doesn't list 8.1 specifically.
    You can either update it manually, using the update here:
    BIOS Update Utility for ThinkPad T410, T410i
    Or make a bootable CD/USB with the ISO file here:
    BIOS Update Bootable CD for ThinkPad T410, T410i
    Either way works like a charm on a Windows 8.1 machine, but be aware of the risks involved in updating your BIOS.
    Good luck!

  • Lenovo G570 Bios Update

    Hi everyone Does the new bios update will be released ? Thank you.

    Hello yigit,
    I'll contact to Lenovo technical service for this issue. But before contacting i would like to let you know that I found official 40CN22WW（1.09） bios for G470/G570 from China support page and i flashed bios with that version. It flashed the BIOS but same problem happened when it comes to EC. When i clicked on OK for flashing EC it freezed and nothing move so around 10 mins later i had to reset laptop by unplugging the battery. But when i enter the setup i saw that all INVALID gone and the correct values are there. So i can see model, uid and serial number in BIOS now. But the EC is same old one which i typed in 1st post.
    When i saw this i wanted to flash BIOS with official 2.09 version. It flashed the BIOS and came to EC flashing. This time it become different. After flashing BIOS it asked me to flash EC, and i clicked on OK, after clicking OK around 6-7 seconds later this appeared;
    IHIS:EC write error in SMI!
    and after this one it reset the laptop by itself, i checked in the BIOS and the serial, model changed to INVALID again but BIOS version is 2.09 and EC is 2.04. So I reflashed the BIOS with 1.09 and now in BIOS no more INVALID but EC is still 2.04. I don't know maybe this version has an EC protection or something like that. Or maybe my laptop BIOS or EC is corrupted. I wanted to flash my BIOS at 1st just because of those fan noise with almost 100% speed. Even the temperature is 45 the fan runs like F1 race car I'll take this with this BIOS now and when i go to Adana where I bought this laptop I'll ask for technical help there. Beside all those except FAN runs too fast, there is no problem on laptop everything works fine. But i noticed that boot time is faster with this 1.09 bios, i don't know maybe this is a coincidence.
    Thank you for your interest and replies.

  • Lenovo G580 BIOS update problem - Error 255

    Hi!
    I read a lot of these problems, but there were no solutions, not even a feedback from Lenovo...
    So I have the same problem.
    - I download this update: http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/62cn40​ww_64.exe
    - I try to run it as Administrator and I got the error message: Error 255 - TDK library initialization failed
    What could be the solution? I tried the advices from other forum posts, but I still have the problem. I have Win7 x64. My laptop is G580 (20150 model).
    Thanks for the help.

  • Lenovo G530 bios update now blue screen!!!

    Ok i have a lenovo G530 with service code 4446-23u. I downgraded to windows XP and it was running fine. I was on lenovo.com and saw that there were newer bios then what i was using(i think i had 1.06, and there is now 1.09 ) so i decided to flash my bios to get them up to date. It flashed fine and asked me to reboot so i said Ok and now everytime i try to start the computer it goes through the bios screen onto the windows XP boot screen then flashes the "Blue Screen" and reboots. It won't start in safe mode or any mode. I put in my XP disk to reinstall XP and i get it to boot from cd and it loads for a while then goes to the "blue screen". Anyone know what is causing this? or how to fix it? I am completely fine with going back to the old bios but don't know how to do that or if its possible.
    these are the bios i used:

  • Lenovo G570 Bios Update Problem

    Hello All,
    I am new to this forum and before i ask my question sorry about my poor English.
    I downloaded latest official bios from the lenovo support page for my laptop. The file name is InsydeFlasha_x64(v2.09).exe I followed all instructions written in the file which is shown in the support page. I right click on the file and run as administrator it checked the bios versions and asked me if i am sure to write new bios with some warnings such as not to shutdown and no unplug etc. I clicked ok and it started to flash and i can see the progress bar, after progress bar is full it asked me if i want to flash EC bios too. I just clicked OK and it just freezed. After around 20 mins it's still freezed and the fan is on with full speed. Then I pressed on power more than 4 seconds and nothing happened. Mouse didn't move, keyboard didn't work. I closed the lid i even closed the lid, it didn't off the leds too. So I unplugged the power and then battery and it shutdown. After plugging the battery i run the laptop and press F2 to enter setup. I saw that bios is 40CN23WW(v2.09)  and EC Bios is 40EC05WW(v2.04). Beside all those the serial number is INVALID, model name is INVALID and something like in the miedle is FFF-FFFFFFF-FFF and so on...
    I don't understand what I did wrong. Did it happen to anyone? How can i correct this? The laptop seems ok now working but the bios is the same above i wrote. all is INVALID. Hope anyone can help me?
    Thank you all.

  • BIOS Update für LENOVO B560 Modell 4330

    Hallo!
    Ich suche verzweifelt nach ein aktuelles BIOS Update für LENOVO B560 Modell 4330. Auf mein Lenovo, ist die Bios version 39CN16WW, 29.07.2010 installiert. Im Netz findet man reichlich Infos und Diskusionen, von dem Bios 39CN21WW. Dass besagte Bios habe auch schon als ROM Format heruntergeladen, aber wie macht man bem Lenovo dass Bios Update??????
    Da sich mein Bios sämtliche einstellungen nicht merkt (natürlich klicke ich davor auf SAVE&CHANGES), kann ich nur davon ausgehen, dass ein Bios Update den fehler beheben kann. Bios Batterie wurde auserdem auch schon dreimal getauscht.
    Es muss doch ein Programm geben, mit dem man dass Update der aktuelle Bios Version machen kann.
    Wie schon erwähn, dass aktuelle BIOS 39CN21WW, habe ich bereits als ROM date vorliegen. Nur dass Progi und eine Anleitung dazu fehlt mir.
    Zu meinem System:
    Intel Pentium P6100 CPU.
    Betriebssystem - WIN 8.1 Pro.
    Derzeitiges BIOS - 39CN16WW.
    Bitte um dringende Hilfe!!!!!!!

    Woher hast du das BIOS bezogen? In unserem Downloadbereich steht für das B560 offiziell kein BIOS zum Download zur Verfügung.

    Wenn sich das BIOS die Einstellungen bisher immer merken konnte und der von dir erwähnte Effekt erst seit kurzem auftritt, liegt es nicht an der BIOS-Version, denn vorher hat es mit der gleichen BIOS-Version auch funktioniert.
    Bitte lade im BIOS einmal die Standardwerte. Sollte dies den Fehler nicht beheben, wende dich bitte einmal an den Support.
    Eine leere Batterie kann ich als Ursache ausschließen, wenn du diese bereits dreimal getauscht hast.

  • BIOS Update Process

    New Thinkpad T430 2349-J8Q. Fan is running at 4000 RPM at 40 C. Checked this using tpfancontrol. Fan making lot of noise. Called the Lenovo support and they executed the request quiet swiftly and there engineer arrived 2days later replaced the fan. Fan noise is reduced but it still runs at 4000RPM at an idle machine with zero load. Which is not correct I believe. 
    Current BIOS ver. 1.16. Update available for 2.50 which has new updates on FAN and thermal management. 
    Question: I contacted the Lenovo engineer, he says he will do the update using Lenovo Thinpad BIOS update utility from Windows 7 Professional. I am not sure if this is the right way to go about doing this. Please guide me on this matter, If I should go about doing the BIOS update from Windows or by creating a BIOS update CD using an ISO image available on lenovo support website ?
    Note: As per my research with lots of google, I realized that it is not a good idea to do a BIOS update from Windows for any motherboard and if in case it fails the motherboard chip needs to be replaced which is quiet a lengthy procedure.

  • Lenovo w510 will not boot after BIOS update

    Hi, 
    This morning I used the windows bios update utility to update my Lenovo w510 type 4318. Everything appeared to have been successful until the machine rebooted. It froze on the lenovo splash screen with text saying to press the blue think vantage button for more options. 
    I waited a good 30 minutes to make sure it wasn't processing anything before trying again. When frozen pressing the power button cause system to beep two times Pause and beep three more times. 
    Called Lenovo support and was told since out of warranty (2/12) the onlyI option is for paid mail in repair at quoted maximum of $575. Needless to say I was very dissatisfied - and made this clear to support who informed there was no way to escalate and no other options. 
    Does anyone have any other options or ability to escalate this case and keep a Lenovo customer. really disappointed 
    Case #9026SN6
    Btw, reason i updated bios to fix issue with usable ram showing 3 gb.

    NEVER use the .EXE method for a BIOS update.  Always use the .ISO and the CD/DVD boot method.  Never update after the warranty expires.

    Bios not running and say default boot device missing or boot failed. Insert recovery media .
    and booting by network only.

    hi alirj,
    Your issue might be similar to this thread.
    Can you try to disable UEFI by:
    1. Booting into the BIOS (press F2 after you turn the computer ON)
    2. In the Boot Tab, set UEFI to disabled or legacy mode and press F10 to save and exit.
    3. Try to repair your Windows installation and observe.

  • Lenovo G780 not working after BIOS update

    First of all I want to say that I am extremely disappointed with the experience I had with my Lenovo. After I bought it I found out that Lenovo, for some reason, disabled the Turbo Boost option of the CPU. I tried to fix it by entering the BIOS but the options there were limited, so I decided to update the BIOS. I downloaded the BIOS update for 64-bit windows(i am running windows 8 which is compatible with the said update utillity). I ran the .exe and followed all the instructions (did not shut-down restart or anything my computer). After installing it automatically restarted and a Lenovo logo prompted on the screen followed by ">>Start PXE over IPv6, Press [ESC] to EXIT..." after that "EFI Network 0 for IPv6(numbers and letters) boot failed". Then ">>Start PXE over IPv4" which failed and a blue box poped saying 
    "Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed. Insert Recovery Media and Hit any ket then select boot manager to choose a new boot device or to boot recovery media". Pressed ok and got me to Boot Manager screen. Boot option Menu had only EFI Network 0 for IPv6 and EFI Network 0 for IPv4". What should I do?
    Note that I tried to start up both with and without the ethernet cable in.

    Hi. 
    I also (stupidly) updated to this new BIOS version and ran into the problems you described. I did what Lenovo recommended but nothing worked. But this how I solved my problem:
    Enter the BIOS by pressing F2 just after booting up the computer.
    When inside BIOS go to Boot and chang the following settings: Boot Mode [Legacy Support] AND Boot Priority [Legacy first].
    Save and Exit and your computer should start.
    Whence inside check if windows is activitated and check if the new BIOS is registered.
    PS: I have scandivian G780 with an i3. Pls responds if this helps

  • Lenovo Solutions Center not showing driver/BIOS updates?
