Description

This is a BIOS dump in BIN format, with the original file name "17 WUXGA LQ170M1LA2A_JH291_INSPIRION PP05XB.bin". The name points to an Inspiron 17 laptop (PP05XB), but no brand, board number, revision or chip size is given in the file data, so confirm the exact board before using it. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Read the original chip contents and save a backup first, and check that the board number and revision match yours before writing anything.
