Description
BIOS dump for an ASUS board with a 4 MB flash chip, supplied as the archive M5A97-ASUS-4mb.rar (about 2.2 MB). The board model and number are not given in the file details, so confirm that the M5A97 name and the exact board number and revision match your motherboard before doing anything else. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Read and save the original chip contents first, so you can restore them if the new write does not behave as expected.

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: M5A97-ASUS-4mb. 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.
