[Wylug-discuss] Fwd: [Bradford] Restoring BIOS

[Graham Whaley]

Sounds/looks like they need maybe one of two things....
 - really reset the BIOS to tell it to use the recovery ROM (if there is one:
 - unbrick by reflashing with a physical re-flasher.
Maybe this link will help them...
https://libreboot.org/docs/install/x60_unbrick.html

Otherwise they need to search for 'thinkpad x61 unbrick' or similar :-)
