Description

The facts for this page are thin: it is a BIOS dump delivered as a BIN file named "GbE Region.bin". No brand, model, board number or chip size is given, so I can't say which machine or motherboard it belongs to. The file name suggests it may hold only the Gigabit Ethernet region of the flash rather than a full BIOS image, so check its size and contents before assuming it is a complete dump. Technicians use BIOS dumps to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or a failed update.

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: GbE Region. 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.
