NOTE!
All Lenovo T, X and R laptops have several bugs in the BIOS that are being actively fixed by Lenovo. For these laptops, BIOS updates are not optional if you find anything to not be working properly, be it the brightness control, or suspend to RAM, or volume keys.
ATTENTION!
You must make sure that the BIOS ID you are trying to install matches what was installed in your ThinkPad by the factory. A few models like the A31 and R61 have different BIOSes, and will malfunction if you pick the wrong one and somehow manage to force it to install.
NOTE!
There is an IBM/Lenovo site called BIOS file matrix - ThinkPad which also has a table with links to BIOS downloads. Some downloadlinks appear to be broken.

You can check current BIOS and Embedded Controller versions using dmidecode command line tool. For example:

  bash# dmidecode -s bios-version && dmidecode -t11
  1RETDRWW (3.23 )
  # dmidecode 2.9
  SMBIOS 2.33 present.
  Handle 0x0029, DMI type 11, 5 bytes
  OEM Strings
  String 1: IBM ThinkPad Embedded Controller -[1RHT71WW-3.04    ]-


The following table lists direct links to BIOS updates for most Thinkpad Models. Refer to BIOS Upgrade for instructions on how to perform a BIOS upgrade.

The FW model column is what actually identifies which sort of firmware (BIOS and Embedded Controller) should be installed in a ThinkPad. Machines with the same firmware model use the same BIOS and Embedded Controller firmware. It can also be found as the OEM table ID in the ACPI DSDT. It is formed by the characters "TP-", plus the first two characters from the BIOS/EC update part number.
