# Lenovo T420
## Flashing instructions
-You have to disassemble the whole device, as the flash IC is on the bottom
-of the mainboard.
+The flash IC is located at the bottom center of the mainboard. Sadly,
+access to the IC is blocked by the magnesum frame, so you need to disassemble
+the entire laptop and remove the mainboard.
+
+Below is a picture of IC on the mainboard, with the pinouts labeled.

+[t420_chip_location]: t420_chip_location.jpg
+
+The chip will either be a Macronix MX25L6404E (shown above) or a Winbond
+W25Q64CVSIG. Do not rely on dots painted in the corner of the chip (such as
+the blue dot pictured) to orient the pins!
For more details have a look at [T420 / T520 / X220 / T420s / W520 common] and
