Description

BIOS dump file 1731BF.bin, a BIN image of about 0.1 MB. The facts do not name the brand, model, board number or revision, so check the file against your own board before doing anything with it. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Because the size is so small, confirm that it matches the flash chip on your board, and save a full backup of the original chip contents before writing anything.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: 1731BF. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
