Description

BIOS dump for the ASUS X553MA laptop, supplied as a RAR archive of about 3.1 MB with the Intel ME region cleaned. The original file name is ASUS X553MA_211_Clear ME.rar, and the "211" in it is worth checking against the version printed on your own board's BIOS before you do anything. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Save the original chip contents first, and confirm the model and board revision match your machine before writing anything.
