Description
BIOS dump for the Compal NM-B901 laptop board, revision 1.0, on the FP531 platform. The original file name also references FT490, FT492 and FT590, so the dump may relate to those models as well, though the facts here do not confirm which laptops it fits. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm the board number and revision match your board, and back up the original chip contents first.
The catalog also lists 2 schematics, 1 boardview file, and 11 BIOS dumps for board NM-B901.

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: FP531 NM-B901. 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.
