Description

BIOS dump for the Acer E430 laptop, an Compal-built design supplied as a RAR archive of about 0.7 MB. The original file name references the Acer eMachines E430 and E630 AMD range, so the exact board number and revision are not stated in the facts and should be confirmed against your own board before use. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update.

The catalog also lists 4 schematics for the Acer E430.

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: Acer E430. 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.
