BIOS dump for the Lenovo G50-45 laptop, board number NM-A281 from Compal, supplied as a RAR archive of about 2.3 MB and marked as tested by the uploader. The original file name is G50-45 NM-A281.rar. A technician would use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision match your board, and back up the original chip contents first, since a dump cannot be verified from the catalog page alone.

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