Description

This BIOS dump is for a laptop built on the Compal NM-C121 board, revision 1.0, with platform FS540. The archive is a ZIP file of about 5.9 MB, originally named FV440 FS441 FS540 NM-C121 (REV 1.0).zip, so the same file also covers the FV440 and FS441 names. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your board, and back up the original chip contents before writing anything.

For board NM-C121 the catalog also has 3 schematics, 4 boardview files, and 14 BIOS dumps.

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: FS540 NM-C121. 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.
