x240 dirty 1 FIXED 4MATIC

BIOS .rar 5.45 MB Shared

ThinkPad X240 firmware originally read from a dirty or corrupted chip and then marked as fixed, packed in a 5.45 MB RAR. The suffix 4MATIC seems to be a label from whoever repaired it, and the name does not explain it. Use this image as a recovery candidate when the X240 will not boot, but keep your own original dump first. Check that the image size matches the SPI chip, and verify the write before reassembling the laptop.
