    I did a BIOS update. Went smoothly and was working fine. Suddenly it's stopped booting. Just a blank screen. Is this indicative of a dead motherboard? It's a Thinkpad X301.

    Did it stop booting after flashing the bios?

    Please don't cross-post. You already have a thread in the Lenovo section.
