Description
BIOS dump for an HP laptop with a 4 MB flash chip, archived as a RAR file of about 5.3 MB under the original name "HP 8730w Dump 4MB BIOS TESTED OK.rar". The uploader marked it as tested, but that is their own claim and has not been independently confirmed here. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. The facts do not give a board number or revision, so check the board marking against the model before flashing.

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: HP 8730w 4MB. 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.
