Description

BIOS dump for a Compal laptop, board number NM-A362, delivered as a RAR archive of about 3.8 MB. The file is noted as including EC/KBC firmware, so the embedded controller image is part of the package.

Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update.

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: NM-A362. 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.
