Description
This is a BIOS dump archive in RAR format, about 4.1 MB, originally shared as 8740w_new.rar. The facts do not name a brand, model, board number or chip size, so check the file contents and the Telegram post before assuming which machine it fits. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, read back and save the original chip contents, and confirm that the board number and revision of your motherboard match the dump.

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: 8740w. 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.
