Description

From the original post:
MSI GS72 MS-17B1(MS-16K21 REV 2.1) GTX1060 (N17E-G1-A1)

BIOS dump for the MSI GS72 laptop, covering board numbers MS-16K2, MS-16K21 and MS-17B1, revision 2.1. The package is supplied for both 8 MB and 1 MB flash chips and includes EC/KBC firmware. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Since one dump covers several board numbers, confirm that your board's number and revision match before flashing, and read out and save the original chip contents first.

The catalog also lists 1 schematic and 2 boardview files for board MS-16K2.

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: MSI GS72 MS-16K2. 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.
