Description

BIOS dump for the MSI MS-16K21 laptop motherboard, revision 2.1, supplied in RAR format at about 4.4 MB for both 8 MB and 1 MB flash chips. The uploader marked it as tested, though that is their own claim and has not been independently verified. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision printed on your board match MS-16K21 REV 2.1, and read out and save the original chip contents before writing anything.

The catalog also lists 1 schematic and 2 BIOS dumps for board MS-16K21.

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 MS-16K21. 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.
