BIOS D30 Workstation (ThinkStation)

Is the D30 working.BIN ready to program to a D30 winbond chip? I have a D30 (type 4353, 4354) that failed the Windows firmware upgrade which bricked my system. I dumped my original non-working bios with a CH341a programmer.

Edit: I programmed the D30 working.BIN and same issues, black screen and wont POST.

This bios worked perfectly! Thank you!

For anyone needing this my system was a Lenovo D30 (type 4353, 4354) with the motherboard model Descartes Rev 2.0 and I am running dual Intel E5-2695v2 processors.
 
I have D30 mainboard Descartes Rev 1.1.. that cycles codes hangs at code 62 with original bios no picture... if i flash any of the 2 above files i get boot picture lenovo splash screen with f04 code and nothing happens (post codes dont change in the process). Can anyone help ? Do i need to flash something else ? attached original bios with code 62 no picture... Also recovery mode with usb does not work with orginal bios... with the 2 files posted above it hangs at starting recovery with lenovo screen.

so it might not be a bios problem
 
Can you please try to rebuild and clean ME this backup ? I still have that d30 with black screen. I would really like to get it running. Above posted bioses are for type 4353, 4354 and they do not work properly for 4223. I get picture with them but they hang on Lenovo splash.

Its the same issue as above if i flash the bios from the other model... i do not get any post codes cycling only lenovo screen at which the system hangs.

With the broken bios i uploaded i get normal post codes but black screen and hang at code 62... Some lenovo forums suggest corupted nvram settings. Is it possible to get a dump from another identical machine ? Or mybe build a older version of the bios that is on the lenovo website ? If i directly flash any of those bioses i get nothing at all.
 
Yes indeed the build you made was not correct for type 4223. For some strange reason after i reflashed the broken backup and tried USB bios recovery it started working and recovered the bios. The machine is up and running. Thank you anyway for your help.
