Lenovo W530 Hardware Flash Tools?

Hi guys,

So I've got a W530 in the mail, hopefully it'll arrive very soon.

I've been looking around on how to flash the BIOS via hardware. Am I correct to say that an EZP2010 SPI EEPROM Flash Tool will do the job?

I was also going to buy an SOIC8 Flash Clip so I didn't have to remove the chip from the PCB. (If I need to provide a 3.3v external supply I can do this).

Also just in case anyone knows, not too long ago I was writing/reading one of the EEPROM chips on a T520 to read out the SVP. I created this device:

Can I use this to read/write the BIOS chip? I have R24RF08 (Read) and W24RF08 (Write) software from here: http://www.allservice.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47

It worked fine for read/write T520 SVP EEPROM Storage Chip (PS08A) http://wallyoz.smugmug.com/photos/i-7PGV...zc2-XL.jpg

I'm not sure if the BIOS is stored on a standard EEPROM? If it is I could probably dump the BIOS and write BIOS with this software. Could it work?

Thanks!!
