Description

From the original post:
DG421 DG521 DG721 NM-B242 Rev 1.0 2017-01-25 i5-7200 WORKING BIOS 100%

BIOS dump for the Compal NM-B242 board, revision 1.0, on the DG721 platform, packaged as a 7 MB RAR archive. The uploader marked it as tested, and the original file name lists the related DG421, DG521 and DG721 models along with an i5-7200 processor reference. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after BIOS corruption or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision on your laptop match NM-B242 Rev 1.0 before flashing, and back up the original chip contents first.

The catalog also lists 4 schematics, 3 boardview files, and 8 BIOS dumps for board NM-B242.

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: DG721 NM-B242. 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.
