Description
BIOS dump for the ASUS Q500A laptop, supplied as a BIN file of 8 MB matching an 8 MB flash chip. The original file name is ASUS Q500A CPU IV SLJ8E.BIN, which is worth keeping for reference when comparing versions. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision on your machine match the file before writing anything, and read and save the original chip contents first so you have a rollback copy.

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 Q500A. 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.
