Description

BIOS dump for the ASUS X530FN laptop, revision 2.0, supplied for a 16 MB SPI flash chip. The original file name references a GD25Q128B chip in a WSON8 package, which is the chip the dump was taken from. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the flash with an external programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision on your motherboard match the X530FN Rev 2.0 before flashing, and back up the original chip contents first so you can restore them if something goes wrong.

The catalog also lists 1 schematic and 1 BIOS dump for the ASUS X530FN.

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 X530FN. 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.
