Description

The original file name points to a W25Q64FWSIQ chip, but check the chip marking on your own board before using it. A dump like this is used with a programmer to reprogram the SPI flash after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match yours, and back up the original chip contents before writing anything.
