Description

BIOS dump for an LG device, supplied as a ZIP archive of about 0.1 MB under the original file name LG E1942CA=256=W25X20.zip. The name suggests a 256 and a W25X20 flash chip, but the facts do not give a board number, revision or platform, so check the file name against the board you are working on. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Back up the original chip contents before writing anything.

Description generated from the catalog data. ·

How to open it

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: LG E1942CA=256=W25X20. 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.
