Updating BIOS on a Lenovo Carbon X1 3rd gen #computers
It is - also - the season to upgrade your BIOS, it seems. Lenovo released an update for the Carbon X1 3rd, 1.21, just before new years. Here's a short note-to-self/reminder on how to update:
- Download the file n14ur20w.iso from Lenovo
- Convert it to something usable:
geteltorito -o boot.img n14ur20w.iso - Put it on a usb-stick:
dd if=boot.img bs=128k of=/dev/sdX(wheresdXis the device of your usb-stick, on my machine it wassdb) - Set the BIOS to boot in "UEFI/Legacy: Both"-mode
- Boot from the usb-stick
- Follow the instructions on screen
The "Both"-thing is the one I usually forget (I have it set to Legacy only, normally).
