Description

BIOS dump for the Lenovo G50-45 laptop, built on the Compal NM-A281 board (platform ACLU6), revision 1.0. The archive is a RAR file of about 2.3 MB. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your machine before flashing, and save a backup of the original chip contents first, since a dump cannot be undone once written.

For board NM-A281 the catalog also has 5 schematics and 14 BIOS dumps.
