Description

BIOS dump supplied as a ZIP archive of about 3.8 MB, original file name MBA2011_i5 1.6EMC2471.zip. The name suggests a MacBook Air 2011 model with a 1.6 GHz i5 and EMC 2471, but the facts here do not confirm the brand, board number, revision or chip size, so check those against your own board before using it. A BIOS dump 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 first, and confirm the board identifiers match before writing anything.

Description generated from the catalog data. ·
