Description

From the original post:
Alejandro Vansteenkiste

This BIOS dump is for a desktop motherboard, supplied as a RAR archive of about 2.6 MB under the original file name "EXO X300_MAIN_PCB Bios & EC OK.rar". The package includes EC/KBC firmware alongside the BIOS image, so the controller firmware is covered as well. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. The board model and revision are not given in the source data, so confirm the board number printed on your PCB matches before flashing.

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: EXO X300 MAIN PCB & EC. 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.
