Description

BIOS dump archived as RAR, about 2.8 MB, original file name "dv6 2170ee.rar". The facts do not name a brand, board number, revision or chip size, so confirm those yourself before use. A dump like this is what technicians reprogram into the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Match the board number and revision of your machine against the source post and read the original chip contents into a backup file first, so you can restore the board if the new image does not behave as expected.
