Description

BIOS dump for a 4 MB SPI flash chip, supplied as a BIN file named "k42ja test ok .bin". The facts do not give a brand, model, board number or revision, so confirm the target board yourself before using it. A dump like this is used to reprogram the flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Read and save the original chip contents first, and make sure the chip size and board details match your hardware before writing anything.

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: k42ja test. 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.
