Description

A BIOS dump in BIN format, file name CQ57I.BIN, with a 4 MB flash chip size. No brand, model or board number is given in the file details, so check the source post and the file itself before flashing. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your motherboard, and read out and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if the new image does not boot.

Will this BIOS work on my board?
