Description

BIOS dump for the Compal NM-C371 laptop board, revision 1.0, supplied for a 16 MB flash chip. The original file name references a Y540-15IRH-PG0 model and a 25Q128JVSQ chip, which technicians can use to confirm the match against their own hardware. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after BIOS corruption or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm the board number and revision on your motherboard match, and back up the original chip contents 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: NM-C371. 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.
