ThinkPad 13 Gen 2 BIOS recovery using USB

[Addster09]

Hello fellow humans!

I want to recover my ThinkPad 13 Gen 2 (20J2) using a USB Drive. Does anyone have experience doing this and if they do can they please list the steps required? This would be a huge help.

I am also considering doing it the hard way (Flash using a CH341a) if I can't recover the laptop using this method and for that I will require a .BIN file which I have downloaded of this forum. If I do the BIOS flash using this method is there any way to keep my windows key and the serial number?

Thanks advance for any help/guidance that you can provide!

Use CH341A and backup your bios (even if it's corrupted) and post it here.

I don't have the CH341a or a backup but I do have a .bin file of my laptop's bios should I upload it here?
