Description

From the original post:
MSI MS-AA8B1 VER 1.1 8MB BIOS & EC

BIOS dump for the MSI MS-AA8B1 board, revision 1.1, supplied for an 8 MB flash chip and including the EC/KBC firmware. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update, and the EC firmware is useful when the embedded controller also needs restoring. The archive is a RAR file of about 4 MB. Before writing anything, confirm that the board number and revision match your board, and back up the original chip contents with your programmer first.

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-AA8B1. 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.
