Description
BIOS dump for the Dell Vostro 1015 laptop, platform VM9M from Quanta, supplied as a RAR archive of about 0.6 MB with a 2 MB flash chip size. The original file name references a W25Q16BV chip and firmware A03, which should be checked against the chip on your board. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or failed update. Confirm the model and platform match your machine before writing anything, and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if needed.

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: Dell Vostro 1015 VM9M. 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.
