Description

From the original post:
ASUS N501VW REV 2.0 8MB & 1MB & KBEC IO WORKING BIOS 100%

BIOS dump for the ASUS N501VW laptop, revision 2.0, supplied for both 8 MB and 1 MB flash chip sizes and including EC/KBC firmware. The uploader marks it as tested, though that is their own claim and not something the catalog has verified. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board revision matches yours, and read and save the original chip contents before writing anything to the chip.

The catalog also lists 3 boardview files and 2 BIOS dumps for the ASUS N501VW.

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: ASUS N501VW. 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.
