Description
I’m not quite sure how to flash my Thinkpad. It appears the recommended flash programmer will fry thinkpad flash chips as it outputs 5v.
Is there not a compatible flash programmer found on Amazon/eBay?
Maybe I’m missing something but most people probably don’t want to make their own with a Raspberry Pi.

Done would be a documented, safe compatible programmer or a clarified supported flashing procedure.
