Description

BIOS dump for the Lenovo Z510-EC laptop, board number NM-A181, produced by Compal. The archive includes EC/KBC firmware alongside the main BIOS image, which can matter when the embedded controller is part of the fault you are chasing. Technicians 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 on your motherboard matches NM-A181 and back up the original chip contents so you can restore them if needed.

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-EC 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.
