ThinkPad Maintenance Utilities / Hardware Utilities
I had my motherboard replaced today, and since a tech couldn't come they reluctantly sent me the new version of the Hardware Maintenance Utility to program the new motherboard. I have version 1.89 and also 1.90 that had been shared online but it didn't work correctly for my X1CG7, Lenovo said they have a new utility for the newer models etc. I went ahead and zipped it up and popped it on my drive account. The public link is below. Like the older tools, you will need to be using Windows 7 to create the tool. By running the file "usbfmtpw" under Windows 10 you will get a no usb drive error. You need to use Windows 7, no way around it to my knowledge. I just want to make sure this utility makes it to everyone since Lenovo is generally tight lipped when it comes to their internal software etc. I was able to get this because I am a commercial customer and my function is IT. Unfortunately I can't be more specific.
