Description

From the original post:
BIOS GL4A5 GL5A5 NM-C741 REV 1.0 NPCE68APA0DX

BIOS dump for the Compal NM-C741 laptop board, revision 1.0, on the GL5A5 platform, supplied as a RAR archive of about 20.5 MB. The original file name also lists GL4A5 and the NPCE68APA0DX build tag, so the dump appears to cover the GL4A5 and GL5A5 platforms. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or failed update. Confirm that the board number NM-C741 and revision 1.0 match your board, and back up the original chip contents before writing anything.

For board NM-C741 the catalog also has 2 schematics, 2 boardview files, and 1 BIOS dump.

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: GL5A5 NM-C741. 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.
