Description

This is a BIOS dump packaged as a ZIP archive of about 0.4 MB, original file name AB9_AB9_Pro_AB9_Wi-Fi.zip. The file name suggests it covers the AB9, AB9 Pro and AB9 Wi-Fi variants, but the listing does not give a brand, board number, revision or chip size, so confirm the exact board against the one on your bench before doing anything with it. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update.

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: AB9 AB9 Pro AB9 Wi-Fi. 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.
