Description

BIOS dump for a laptop motherboard with board number NM-B731, platform EG430, built by Compal, PCB revision 1.0. The uploader marked it as tested, though that is their own claim and not something the catalog has checked. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after BIOS corruption or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision on your board match the file, and read out and save the original chip contents as a backup.

The catalog also lists 1 schematic, 1 boardview file, and 2 BIOS dumps for board NM-B731.

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: EG430 NM-B731. 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.
