I don't know why my comment is so hard to understand, It's literally the same model and same issue as the OP. I'm just asking for a more simplified version of the instructions provided in reply #6, as I mentioned in replies #58 and #59.

Hi friend, your pc is bricked as update session didn't finish, so you can try if exist an Recovery Bios way #58, #59 (i don't think on UEFI as we tried many times)
or use the SPI Programmer CH341a + Pomona Clip ... (the best solution)
The Firmware we can be recovered from your Dump (about your system data, UUID, serial, etc) and original stock bios (or a different DUMP) ...
There are not many chances ...
Regards

Well, there's lot of information on how to use a CH341 programmer to read the bios on the net and especially in this forum. The procedure is described properly and if you're not comfortable with the guide and/ or with a little reading/ learning in addition, then you might go to a shop and ask them to read the bios content and give it to you maybe on an USB stick whatever... Post the bricked bios here and maybe you find someone to do the job for you.

It's rather optimistic to expect that someone will invest time in rewriting a properly written guide for you not having even a clue which part you don't understand.

Please keep the relevant informaion within the forum/ thread. I don't answer PMs

Just wanted to say, thank you OP, it took a while but I sorted out your instructions and managed to fix my BIOS. Soldered it back on just a few mins ago and it booted :)

My tenure on this site was successful albeit brief, I'll be deleting my account now if possible.

And a special shoutout to IFB6 for taking the time to create 2 responses that added nothing meaningful to the conversation nor helped me in any way. Must love the sound of your own voice.

Hello everyone,

I have this exact model and exactly the same symptoms. However the failure happened not during the night and without loud beeping. It happened while streaming a movie - the screen went black and the laptop wouldn't boot.
Here are the corrupted BIOS from the laptop and the BIOS from the Lenovo site. I tried to copy the suggested areas from the corrupted BIOS into the stock BIOS but this did not help. The laptop still has black screen with no backlight. Only the keyboard is lit.

I'd like to ask you to please take a look at these two files and copy what you think is the necessary information into the stock BIOS from Lenovo.
Thank you!
