Description

BIOS dump for a laptop on Compal board NM-C121, platform FS541, PCB revision 1.0, delivered as a ZIP archive of about 5.8 MB. The original file name lists FV440, FS441 and FS541 together with NM-C121 R1.0, so the dump is tied to that board family. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update.

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: FS541 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.
