Description

BIOS dump for the Lenovo Z510 laptop, built on the Compal NM-A181 board (platform AILZA), PCB revision 1.0. The file is supplied for a 2 MB flash chip. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash 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 so you can recover if the write goes wrong. The original file name notes a test with a GD25Q16 chip, so check that your chip matches that part.

The catalog also lists 6 schematics, 3 boardview files, and 26 BIOS dumps for board NM-A181.

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: Lenovo Z510 AILZA NM-A181. 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.
