Description

BIOS dump for the LG W2042ST, supplied as a ZIP archive of about 0.1 MB under the original file name LG w2042st=256=w25x20.zip. The file name suggests a 256 KB flash chip with a W25X20 part, though the facts here do not confirm that for the board itself. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm the board number and revision match your unit, and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if needed.
