Description

BIOS dump for the Apple MacBook Pro Unibody A1297, board number 820-2610, supplied as a 1.3 MB RAR archive and marked as tested by the uploader. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your logic board before flashing, and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if the write goes wrong. The uploader's tested mark is a claim from the post, not a guarantee of results on your board.
