This error occurs because Lenovo changed the compression algorithm used for their BIOS update files. Older versions of popular DIY tools (like geteltorito or older BIOS extraction scripts) do not recognize this new format and fail to extract the contents.

If these steps don't work, consider trying a dedicated command-line tool like nsz on GitHub , which often provides more detailed error logs than a GUI. from your console? Decompression failed any NSZ · Issue #54 · dezem/SAK sak decompression failed
It is normal to experience surgical soreness and fluctuating nerve pain during the first few weeks or months of recovery. However, the following signs may indicate that the decompression was unsuccessful or that a new issue has arisen:
The NSZ file was not downloaded or copied properly 1.2.3 . This error occurs because Lenovo changed the compression
SAK relies on an external tool called hactoolnet for compression and decompression. As the Nintendo Switch format evolves, older versions of this tool fail. Download the latest release of hactoolnet 1.2.2.

Inability to sleep on the affected side more than 3 to 4 months post-surgery.
“Sak decompression failed” is an observed error reported in systems using the SAK (Stream Archive Kit) decompression routine (or similarly named proprietary decompression subsystems). This paper analyzes likely causes, diagnostic approaches, and remediation strategies. We summarize relevant compression/decompression fundamentals, enumerate failure modes (file corruption, format mismatches, resource exhaustion, implementation bugs, environment incompatibilities), propose a structured diagnostic workflow, outline fixes and mitigations, and provide best practices and recommendations for developers and operators to prevent recurrence.
Right-click your launcher or modding tool (e.g., Content Manager or SAK Tool). Select and try the process again.
Minimizing the risk of failed subaxial cervical decompression begins in the preoperative planning phase. Accurate patient selection, meticulous matching of clinical symptoms with radiographic findings, and the utilization of intraoperative fluoroscopy to confirm spinal levels are paramount.
