Description

From the original post:
CE570 NM-A831 REV 3.0 2016-11-08 WORKING BIOS 100%

BIOS dump for a laptop built on the Compal NM-A831 board (platform CE570), revision 3.0. The uploader marks it as tested, though that is their own claim and not something the catalog has checked. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number NM-A831 and revision 3.0 match your board, and save the original chip contents as a backup first. The archive is a RAR file of about 6.1 MB.

The catalog also lists 2 schematics, 1 boardview file, and 10 BIOS dumps for board NM-A831.

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: CE570 NM-A831. 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.
