Hello,

I am trying to flash a modded BIOS on my T430s, but I can't find the bios chip. My mobo is FRU 04X1559 and it doesn't look like any of the pictures that I found online.... :-/

On a T420 and T420s it's the 8-pin chip at location U49, usually a Macronix MX25Lxxxxx or Winbond W25Qxxxxx
I assume the T430s can't be that far off...

On an X230 it's at location SPI2.
