Description

BIOS dump, revision 4.0, delivered as a ZIP archive of about 1.6 MB under the original file name "BIOS I61M2 REV 4.0 .zip". The facts do not name the brand, model or board number, so confirm that the I61M2 designation and revision 4.0 match your motherboard before using it. A BIOS dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Back up the original chip contents first, and do not write the file until the board identification is confirmed.

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: I61M2 REV 4.0. 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.
