Description

BIOS dump with a 16 MB flash image, original file name "3050 clean". The facts do not name the brand, model, board number or revision, so confirm those against your own board before using it. A BIOS dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. The file name suggests the Intel ME region may have been cleaned, but that is not confirmed here. Read the original chip contents and keep a backup before writing anything to the board.

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: 3050 clean. 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.
