Description

BIOS dump for the Acer TravelMate 5744 laptop, PCB revision 2.0, bundled with EC/KBC firmware in a RAR archive of about 1.8 MB. The file name refers to board BIC50 MAIN BOARD REV 2.0, so that board identifier is the one to compare against your own motherboard. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. The EC/KBC firmware is included, which matters if the embedded controller also needs restoring.

The catalog also lists 2 schematics for the Acer TravelMate 5744.

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 TravelMate 5744. 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.
