Description

BIOS dump archive supplied as a RAR file, named A78AX 79BF1P18.rar, about 0.5 MB in size. The facts do not give a brand, model or board number, so the file name is the only identifier here and it is not confirmed against a specific motherboard. Technicians use a BIOS dump to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, compare the board number and revision on your own board with the source, and save a backup of the original chip contents first.
