Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 12298-2 is a laptop motherboard designed by Wistron and used in the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon and Lenovo ThinkPad X1.

The catalog has 2 schematics, 1 boardview file and 20 BIOS files for it, posted between 2018 and 2026 across 4 Telegram channels. Each download button opens the original Telegram post.

The boardview is packed in an archive and the file name does not say which format is inside; most open in OpenBoardView or FlexBV. What Is a Boardview File and Why You Need One lists the common formats.

With both a schematic and a boardview you can find a net on the diagram and then locate the same part on the board by its reference designator. No Boardview for Your Board? How to Work Without One shows the workflow.

BIOS notes: file names mention 1 MB, 8 MB and 16 MB chip sizes; versions with a cleaned ME region are included. Read and save the original chip contents before you write anything to it — Keeping the Windows Product Key (MSDM) When Reflashing a BIOS.
