LENOVO Z500

BIOS .bin 4.50 MB Shared

Firmware image for the Lenovo IdeaPad Z500, 4.5 MB in size, with no board number, revision or version given in the name. That unusual size usually means the dump combines a 4 MB main BIOS with a 512 KB secondary chip and may need splitting before programming two separate flash parts. Inspect the file in a hex editor first, verify against the chips fitted on your board, and keep a backup of the originals. Writing is done with an SPI programmer such as CH341A or RT809H.
