Description

This is a BIOS dump archived as a ZIP file of about 1.3 MB, originally named 8951.zip. The facts do not identify a brand, model, board number or revision, so confirm the target board from your own hardware before using it. A BIOS dump is typically used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or failed update. Back up the original chip contents first, and make sure the board number and revision match yours 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: 8951. 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.
