BIOS dump archive in RAR format, about 1.4 MB, original file name Asusa42F_ok.rar. The facts do not name the brand, model, board number or chip size, so confirm those yourself before using it. A BIOS dump is typically used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or failed update. Only flash it if the board number and revision match your motherboard exactly, and back up the original chip contents first so you can restore them if something goes wrong.

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: Asusa42F. 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.
