Description

BIOS dump file with embedded EC/KBC firmware, supplied as a RAR archive of about 0.1 MB. The original file name is G580_20150_QIWG6LA-7988PRev1,0_18.12.2012_KB9012QFA3.rar, which suggests a G580 model, a 20150 board reference and a December 2012 date, though the facts do not confirm the brand or board revision. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or failed update, and the included keyboard controller firmware can matter when the EC is also affected.
