Description

From the original post:
FT490 FT492 FT590 FT591 NM-B901 W25Q256FV TESTED OK

BIOS dump for the Compal NM-B901 laptop board, platform FT591, supplied as a 12.2 MB RAR archive for a 32 MB flash chip. The original file name lists related platforms FT490, FT492 and FT590 and a W25Q256FV chip, but the page only confirms the board and platform named above. The uploader marked it as tested, which is their own claim and not verified here. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after BIOS corruption or a failed update.

For board NM-B901 the catalog also has 2 schematics, 1 boardview file, and 11 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: FT591 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.
