Description

This is a BIOS dump with a 4 MB chip size, supplied as a BIN file. The original file name is "flash x97USB MEGA.bin". The facts do not name a brand, model or board number, so confirm the target machine before using it. A BIOS dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Check that the chip size matches your flash chip and that the board number and revision match your board before writing anything.

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: flash x97USB MEGA. 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.
