Description

This is a BIOS dump in BIN format, saved under the original file name AU B173RW01 V3.bin. The facts do not name a laptop brand, model, board number or revision, so confirm that the dump matches your machine before using it. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Read and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if needed, and check that the board identifiers in the image match your board before writing anything.
