Description

From the original post:
ASUS X420FA REV 2.1 CPU i5(8tH GEN) WORKING BIOS 100%

BIOS dump for the ASUS X420FA laptop, PCB revision 2.1, packaged as a 6.4 MB RAR archive. The uploader marked it as tested, though that is their own claim and not something verified here. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision on your machine match 2.1, and save a backup of the original chip contents so you can recover if the write goes wrong.

The catalog also lists 1 BIOS dump for the ASUS X420FA.

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 X420FA. 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.
