About this board

ThinkPad X1 Yoga 5th Gen (Type 20UB 20UC) X1 Carbon 8th Gen I5-10210U… — motherboard NM-C881.

Lenovo had this board built by LCFC; LCFC (Lenovo/Compal) board numbers start with NM-. Check the number printed on the PCB before you download.

From the title: Intel 5th gen platform.

Files usually needed for this board
  • BIOS (full SPI chip dump, .bin)
  • EC / KBC firmware, if the board uses a separate EC chip
  • Schematic (PDF)
  • Boardview (.brd / .bdv / .cad)

Typical reasons to reflash: no power or no display after a failed BIOS update, a BIOS/supervisor password lock, or a corrupted Intel ME region.

Back up the original dump first — it contains machine-specific data (serial, UUID, MAC, ME), and you will want it if anything goes wrong.

If you have a working file for this board, please share it below. More files: search NM-C881 in File Finder.

thanks, but still nothing. only 3x blink power button LED.. no Fan, no lights, no display. i flashed in in-circuit, so better soldering out an flash in a adapter ? maybe the MEC1663 disturbes the flashing ? btw: its a W25Q256JVEQ ...

Yes! The bios i build is accurate with the model version so check the motherboard

Hi, so i soldered out an flash with xgecu. afer solderin in, same symptoms.. just 3x blinking.. i'm pretty sure, that the mec1663 ist blocking or is corrupted .. can i flash/programm an EC wit the xgeco T76 ? or do you have any suggestions for next check-steps / test workflow ?
