Description

BIOS dump for the HP ProBook 4740S laptop, delivered as a 7.1 MB RAR archive with the Intel ME region cleaned. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. The original file name notes that the ME region and DMI were tested, but no board number or revision is given, so confirm your board's identifiers match before flashing. Back up the original chip contents first, since a dump cannot be verified from the catalog page alone.

For the HP ProBook 4740S the catalog also has 2 BIOS dumps.
