Looking for t61 bios with ec version 1.07 or below
Looking for t61 bios with ec version 1.07 or below
My T601F has the fn ctrl key swapped via the middleton bios however in order for me to revert to the non swapped middleton bios I need to downgrade the EC to the earlier version first. I need a t61 bios with an EC version of 1.07 or below, I've checked all bios versions listed on the lenovo website and all have 1.08 listed. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Looking for t61 bios with ec version 1.07 or below
If needed, download the 2.29/1.08 BIOS again.
Make a bootable USB-stick with DOS using Rufus.
Use 7z to open the archive, go to \BIOS update
Click on the 7luj27uc.iso file, then right-click on it and select "Open inside"
Right-click on $01AF000.FL2 and select "Copy To..." your USB-stick. (The .FL2 file is the EC)
Right-click on PHLASH16.EXE and select "Copy To..." your USB-stick.
Boot the laptop from that USB-stick.
Flash the "non-swap" EC back with:
phlash16 /c /x $01AF000.FL2
Remove the USB-stick, boot into BIOS and select F9 (default) and F10 (save).
Boot into Windows and it should work now.

Wow that actually worked, been pulling my hair for years trying to work out a way to revert back to normal fn ctrl. Thank you!
