Where have all the Lenovo BIOS Simulators gone?

Most of the Lenovo BIOS simulators seem to have disappeared!
Until about a week ago they used to be here: http://service.lenovo.partner-managemen ... m?eid=1437
But clicking on that link now gives you this:
The Lenovo Partner Portal is temporarily offline whilst we upgrade our system.
We expect the site will be back in service by late afternoon (GMT) 28th September, 2013.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

:?: :?:

The "new" Simulator-Matrix is supposedly this: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht036790
But a lot of the links there don't work anymore!

Anybody knows where they might have gone?

Nobody has been wondering?

Well, I've been wondering but have had no useful input so far. I initially thought that it might have to do with the animations being Flash-based and that my browser(s) were blocking it but that doesn't seem to be the issue.

Note that these are .SWF (Shockwave Flash) files and will require that you have the Shockwave player installed:

They were likely updating their site and accidently broke the links you were trying to use.
It took them some time to realize the links were broken, and then to fix them.

Often businesses don't know they, or their website company, has broken the site.
Best to give them a call, walk them to the broken part of the site and let them take it from there.
