Messed around with the bios and now machine has no bios.

I downloaded the ISO from Lenovo and no go using the CD optical drive.

Any other ISO file I can use? any recommendations? Much appreciated.

No Bios, not boot, 5 beeps.

If I can get the BIOS back on, machine should be ok.

Not sure how, Heirin Boot CD got me to boot in my own windows and was able to reinstall the bios, didnt want to chance it. Yea not messing with Bios's again. I tried to install the whitelist moded bios for the Erisscon WWAN card, and I believe computrace which I have installed, blocked the flash, as others put that same mod on with no problem.

If there is nothing apart from 5 beeps, you can"t boot it at all therefore the only solution would be manual reprogramming of bios chip with programmer on the bench...
