#1 | [Request] Corrupted Lenovo T440P BIOS - No Windows Key datum

Hi,

I bought a dead Lenovo Thinkpad T440P recently. It sounded an error message of 5 beeps, pause, 5 beeps. A BIOS flash to a BIOS downloaded from Lenovo via external SPI programmer fixed it (I dumped and reflashed the 4mb chip).

I have now found that the machine doesn�t have a Windows key attached to it, but I am unsure if it was somehow corrupted, or if it wasn�t present to begin with.

I was wondering if anyone could extract the Windows product key from the original corrupted BIOS if it�s present, or repair the corrupted BIOS so that Windows can be activated? I am unsure of the version of the original corrupted BIOS. I have attached the original corrupted BIOS, and a copy of the current working BIOS, both dumped via SPI.

Thanks!
