Description

From the original post:
FL490 FL590 NM-B931 REV 1.0 2019-03-15 TYPE 20Q8 i5-8365U 32MB BIOS

BIOS dump for the Compal NM-B931 board, revision 1.0, used in the FL590 laptop (the file name also lists FL490 and type 20Q8). It is supplied for a 32 MB flash chip and packaged as a RAR archive of about 26 MB. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm that the board number and revision on your motherboard match NM-B931 and 1.0, and save the original chip contents as a backup.

The catalog also lists 1 schematic, 1 boardview file, and 6 BIOS dumps for board NM-B931.

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: FL590 NM-B931. 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.
