Description
This page covers a BIOS dump supplied as a BIN file named "Descriptor Region.bin". The facts do not give a brand, model, board number or revision, so check the source Telegram post for those details before using the file. A descriptor region image is only part of a full flash chip layout, so it is not a complete replacement for a whole BIOS dump. Technicians use BIOS dumps to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or a failed update.

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: Descriptor Region. 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.
