Thinkpads have a utility to make a BIOS recovery USB drive, which usually involves getting the BIOS update .exe file, possibly renaming it, then holding a certain key or key combination while turning the laptop on. You may need to use a special tool to format your USB drive to prepare it if it’s an older IBM Thinkpad. Sevenforums/Tenforums are decent message boards to learn about this kind of thing, as they usually have decent vetted tutorials with screenshots.
