Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision on your motherboard match NM-C171 rev 1.0, and read out and save the original chip contents as a backup. The archive is a 5.8 MB RAR file.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: Lenovo IdeaPad FS44A FS54A NM-C171. 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.
