Description

From the original post:
MSI CR420 MS-14531 REV 1.2 BIOS & EC

BIOS dump for the MSI CR420 laptop, board number MS-14531, revision 1.2, supplied as a RAR archive of about 1.4 MB. The package includes EC/KBC firmware alongside the main BIOS image. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update, and the EC firmware can matter when the embedded controller also needs restoring. Confirm that the board number and revision match your board before flashing, and back up the original chip contents first.

The catalog also lists 5 schematics, 1 boardview file, and 6 BIOS dumps for board MS-14531.
